Makina means "machine," derived from the Spanish word "máquina." It is also what we call movements in our homeland. Makina was born in the Philippines. As a Filipino watch brand, we are committed to creating only eccentric and unconventional designs, providing the watch industry with bold alternatives since 2017.

​

Our timepieces have gained recognition from prestigious design institutions such as the A' Design Awards, International Design Awards, European Product Design Awards, Muse Design Awards, New York Product Design Awards, London Design Awards, London International Creative Competition, and others. Our portfolio includes our standard collection, as well as commissioned timepieces for companies and organizations like the Philippine Olympic Committee, San Miguel Corporation, University of the Philippines, Philippine Heart Center, and more.

​

All models are conceptualized, designed, engineered, and assembled in the Philippines, with parts manufactured in Manila and Hong Kong, under Makina & Co. We use Swiss-made movements (Sellita), also used by other luxury brands.

 

Thank you for following our work. Stay tuned for more bold alternatives from our family company. 

 

From man behind the Machine,
