Custom watches · guided commissions

Start with a direction. I’ll shape it into a watch.

Custom AEVN commissions begin at $750 and are built through a guided design process — not a giant parts-menu configurator. Bring a color, logo, outfit, material, story, or very specific vibe.

Commission process

A custom watch should feel designed, not crowdsourced.

The form gives the project a starting point. From there, the goal is to turn your direction into a coherent mechanical watch with the right case, dial, hands, strap, and finishing details.

$750+ minimum Approx. 8-week lead time 50% to begin 50% before shipment

Send the direction

Share colors, materials, outfit references, logos, initials, inspiration photos, or the general mood you want the watch to carry.

Concept + quote

I turn the idea into a buildable direction with parts, pricing, estimated timing, and a clear visual lane.

Approval + build start

After design approval, 50% starts sourcing and assembly. Rare or unusual parts may affect timing.

Review + shipment

The finished watch is photographed and reviewed before the remaining balance is paid and the watch ships.

Custom scope

Built around a real direction, not endless random options.

A custom AEVN build can start from a dial color, a company logo, a strap texture, a favorite outfit, a special occasion, or a watch style you wish existed. Final pricing depends on sourcing, materials, complexity, and how far the build moves from proven AEVN design directions.

Commission inquiry

Send the direction. Attach the inspiration.

Share the basics below. The goal is not to design the entire watch in one form — it is to give enough direction to start with a strong first concept. After we have a clear direction, a render of the design concept will be provided for your approval.

Custom terms: AEVN custom commissions begin at $750. Typical lead time is about 8 weeks after design approval. Custom builds require 50% deposit up-front to begin sourcing and assembly, with the remaining balance due before shipment.

Useful design details

Watch type, case color, bracelet or strap, dial color, lume preference, logo direction, and anything you absolutely do not want.

Helpful inspiration

Upload watch photos, outfits, brand marks, color references, materials, screenshots, or anything that shows the design direction.
