Cream dial, dauphine hands, 38mm steel case. The everyday watch for someone who does not need a loud watch.
ETA 2824-2 automatic
Matte black dial, gilt indices, 40mm steel case with exhibition caseback. The one that started it all.
Miyota 9039 automatic
Slate blue sunburst dial, pencil hands, 36mm steel case. Deliberately understated. Looks better the longer you wear it.
Every Meridian watch is assembled by hand in our Portland workshop. We source movements from Switzerland and Japan, machine our cases in small batches, and finish them with a combination of brushed and polished surfaces that only hand work can achieve.
We do not chase complications or fashion cycles. We make three-hand watches with date windows, and we make them as well as we can. The dials are lacquered, the hands are heat-treated or gilt, the crystals are double-domed sapphire. Nothing is decorative for its own sake.
Each watch ships with a hand-numbered certificate, a leather travel roll, and a five-year movement warranty. We service what we sell, indefinitely.
Brushed flanks, polished bevels. Done by hand under magnification over the course of a full day per case.
Multi-layer lacquer process with applied indices. Each dial takes three coats and 48 hours of curing time.
One watchmaker assembles each piece start to finish. Movements are regulated to +/- 8 seconds per day before casing.
Each series is produced once. When a model sells out, it does not come back. We accept reservations for current and upcoming models. A $200 deposit secures your place; the balance is due before shipping.
