Escudo

Escudo is an independent British-Portuguese microbrand that blends contemporary watchmaking with a deep narrative soul. Founded by watch enthusiasts Simon Correia and Richard Johnson, the brand is designed and developed across the UK and Portugal, with final hand-assembly carried out in Winchester, England. Their core identity is a direct tribute to the golden age of 15th-century maritime exploration and the brave Portuguese and British navigators who charted the unknown world.

Escudo stands out for its elegant, characterful, and romantic design motifs. Their timepieces seamlessly fuse historic maritime aesthetics with modern luxury sports watch execution. Signature details include custom compass-style hour markers, highly intricate multi-layer matte dials, and distinct bi-metal case applications. They emphasize high-end British craftsmanship paired with top-tier Swiss-made movements.
