About Us

Your Destination for the World's Finest Timepieces

Introduction

Founded in 1881 by visionary entrepreneur Samuel H. Kingsley, SHK Watch Collections began as a modest boutique in the heart of Geneva, Switzerland. Samuel's dream was to curate a collection of timepieces that not only embodied precision but also represented the pinnacle of luxury and craftsmanship. Today, SHK Watch Collections continues to honor his legacy, offering a handpicked selection of the world’s finest watches, where tradition meets modern innovation in every piece.

From its early days, SHK Watch Collections has been guided by a singular commitment: to curate and offer the finest timepieces the world has ever seen. Samuel H. Kingsley, a visionary entrepreneur with a passion for luxury and innovation, quickly gained recognition for assembling a collection of revolutionary designs from the most esteemed watchmakers globally. His first notable acquisition, the "Kingsley Perpetual," introduced the concept of perpetual motion in horology to a wider audience—a marvel that captivated both critics and collectors.

As word of SHK's exceptional collection spread, the brand caught the attention of royalty and celebrities alike. In 1905, SHK was chosen to supply a bespoke timepiece for King Edward VII, cementing its reputation as the preferred source of luxury watches for the elite. The "Royal Eclipse," crafted from rare materials and adorned with the finest gemstones, remains one of the most celebrated pieces in SHK's storied history.

Over the decades, SHK Watch Collections expanded its horizons, collaborating with prestigious watchmakers and artisans from around the world. In 1947, the brand partnered with renowned Japanese craftsman Hiroshi Nakamura to introduce the "Infinity Series," a collection that seamlessly blended Eastern and Western design philosophies. This collaboration marked a new chapter in SHK's journey, showcasing its ability to innovate while honoring its rich heritage.

The latter half of the 20th century saw SHK Watch Collections continue to push the boundaries of luxury and craftsmanship. In 1969, the brand added the "Astrolabe" to its collection, the first watch to feature a fully integrated astronomical complication. This groundbreaking piece earned SHK numerous accolades, including the prestigious Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève.

Today, SHK Watch Collections stands as a global household name, celebrated for its unwavering dedication to quality, craftsmanship, and innovation. With a strong online presence and partnerships in over 50 countries, SHK continues to inspire watch enthusiasts and collectors alike. Each timepiece in our collection is a symbol of the brand’s enduring legacy—a legacy that honors the past while embracing the future.
