SAINT BONES
GENUINE. PRECIOUS. OFFBEAT.
SAINT BONES JEWELRY
It all began in 2014 when two avid watch and design enthusiasts made strides in manufacturing unique jewelry and accessories for personal use. Seeking no acknowledgment or gains, they merely wanted to express their personalities through unconventional designs and great craftsmanship by creating unique pieces for mostly private use and gifts to friends. Eventually, those personal pieces got noticed, and purchase inquiries began incoming. Thus, the decision was taken to form a consistent team and bring to life that passion for creating exquisite jewelry pieces no one else dared to make. In 2017 we founded Saint Bones.
FUSING JEWELRY & WATCHMAKING
A way younger but rightfully considered more complicated than jewelry, watchmaking art took men's minds by storm. In just less than a hundred years wristwatch turned into an object for collecting, an object of art, and an object of competition both for manufacturers and watch owners. The future founders of Saint Bones were no exception and got very passionate about watches, especially about the watches where watchmaking and jewelry art might collide. The watch market showed no lack of beautiful timepieces, but something was still missing – the true individuality. Very well-developed and noble Swiss watchmakers were (and still are) a tad too far-fetched and dignified to customize their pieces to order or accept commissions from average customers. Ordering any custom piece at any manufacturer was nearly impossible unless you were ready to part with seven figures. At the end of the day, you were left with only one option - change your strap or bracelet to the custom one. These did exist, though design, quality, and comfort were so far from perfect. Another pivoting point for the team appeared on the timeline – we were ambitious to reinvent the concept of watch customization.
DARING PROJECTS
In 2018 the team had the nerve to mess with the most sacred watchmaking canons, reinventing watch case customization and reimagining the concept of a bespoke watch bracelet. The groundbreaking approach identified every surface of the case, each link of the bracelet, and each part that builds up a watch as a canvas with limitless decoration opportunities. Many 'firsts' and unique techniques were created along this watchmaking journey. The first project came from a local customer - a full customization of the watch initially produced by a famous Swiss brand. The team designed, created, and assembled a truly unique 1 of 1 piece in sterling silver. The bespoke silver case set with natural sapphires was 'wrapped' around the original stainless steel case, preserving its waterproof capabilities and complimenting the rich blue dial tone. The bespoke integrated bracelet completed the composition.
FROM PROJECTS TO PRODUCTION
The deeper Saint Bones went into watchmaking, the more obvious it was that our creativity should not be limited by customizing clients' timepieces. With experience accumulated over the years, we started working on our very own watch collection, withdrawing entirely from customizing third-party timepieces. As a small yet independent and very proud brand, we wanted to do everything independently - from sketching on paper to final assembly. Despite how challenging that was, we can proudly say - we conceive, design, model, and produce all parts except for the dial & movement (which is, of course, Swiss-made) on our own.
SAINT BONES OF TODAY
Saint Bones is a Vienna-based independent watchmaking and jewelry brand offering a wide range of unique design objects. The watchmaking division became the leading part of the brand and certainly its' most significant attractor. Over the years, our international team accumulated unique expertise in watch & jewelry design and production, developed its own style, and created dozens of never-seen-before pieces. Each member contributed his very own vision, sincere passion, and personal charisma to the true melting pot. That extraordinary fusion then evolved into the Saint Bones of today.
