The Hampstead — Dress, 38mm
The dial
is the argument.
Galvanic fumé, hand-polished at the centre. Roughly one in four is rejected, by hand, before it leaves the bench.

The Atelier — Southampton
Fewer than five hundred,
each year.
Every watch passes through Harold's hands twice — once at assembly, and once before it leaves us. We make what we can stand behind.
The Langdon — Complications
Made for the
second watch.
A flyer GMT, a column-wheel chronograph, a 39mm perpetual. Built for clients who already own one good watch — and want the next.
A piece we'd like you to see
The Hampstead 38, Blue Dial.
The watch that brought Ashworth & Finch its first coverage outside enthusiast circles — a fumé midnight blue that, in the right window, shifts from midnight to dusk.
HAM-38-BLU
“No two look the same under a strong window.”
Galvanic colour applied over a stamped brass base, then hand-polished at the centre to produce the gradient. Each dial is individually inspected — the current reject rate is roughly one in four.
Calibre HF-201, regulated to ±8 seconds per day in five positions. Domed sapphire, double anti-reflective. No date — Harold refuses to cut the dial for it.

The dial shifts from midnight to dusk depending on whether the sky is honest that day.

The atelier
Made by hand,
in small numbers.
We don't grow. We don't license. We don't apologise for the wait. Each watch is built to order in a single workshop on the south coast of England, by five people who have known each other for nine years.
