Foundry Watch Co.

Foundry Watch Co. is an independent British microbrand founded in the United Kingdom by Matt, whose background in telecoms connected him with trade professionals across construction, engineering, and infrastructure. Built under the motto “Built for those who build” and the social movement #WearTheWork, Foundry was created to celebrate the pride, practical mindset, and identity of people working in industrial, trade, and site-based professions, bridging the gap between heavy-duty work environments and modern wristwear.

Foundry’s visual aesthetic is defined by bold, high-presence proportions, industrial utility, and rugged durability. The brand utilizes a prominent 45mm brushed stainless steel case geometry engineered with high legibility in mind. Details include scratch-resistant sapphire crystals, high-contrast dial markings, a 2-year warranty, and comfortable, site-ready black silicone straps designed to withstand tough daily environments.

The brand debuted its lineup with a strictly limited small-batch release: the Foreman 45 (Founding Edition)—an original launch run of just 50 numbered pieces. The Foreman 45 features a bold 45mm brushed steel profile, crisp dial layout, heavy-duty quartz timekeeping reliability
