Our Story
Prior to 2025 - Origins
2025 - Birth of Hancrest
2025 - Launch of the Summit One
2026 - Expansion
At just 16 years old, our founder, discovered the art of watch building. What began as a personal hobby, building custom timepieces quickly grew into a deep appreciation for the precision, patience, and creativity required to craft something truly timeless. These early years were about experimentation, learning from mistakes, and developing the foundation for what would later become Hancrest.
Vision inspired by the spirit of mountains, a passion into a brand. Hancrest was officially founded in 2025, dedicated to creating premium automatic watches that reflect both craftsmanship and resilience.
Hancrest’s first creation, the Summit One, marked the beginning of this journey. Designed as a symbol of resilience and ambition, the Summit One combined premium automatic movement with a design inspired by the pursuit of reaching new heights.
The Summit One is just the start. Our roadmap includes expanding into a collection of purpose built watches each engineered for clarity, durability, and everyday versatility
