Independent Watches from the Isle of Man
Discover Vannin Watches, an independent watch brand from the Isle of Man. Follow the Vannin Field Watch, new releases, design stories and our journey building a new Manx watch brand.
The Vannin Field Watch
Vannin is developing an automatic 38 mm field watch for everyday wear. The first collection uses the Miyota 9039 movement and four dial colours connected to the changing landscape of the Isle of Man.
A New Watch Brand from the Isle of Man
Vannin Watches is an independent Manx watch brand created by Peter Jones and Andy Pickett. The name Vannin comes from Ellan Vannin, the Manx name for the Isle of Man, where the founders live and where the identity of the brand began.
Independent Watchmaking and the Microbrand Approach
As a new independent microbrand, Vannin is documenting the decisions behind its first watch rather than presenting a finished corporate history. The Journal follows the design process, including case proportions, dial colours and movement selection.
An Island with an Extraordinary Watchmaking Story
The Isle of Man has a notable association with independent horology through the work of John Harwood, George Daniels and Roger W. Smith. Vannin does not claim their achievements as its own; it is a new brand being built on an island with an extraordinary watchmaking story.
