About us

Oliwer Oakes is a Scandinavian watch brand focused on calm, everyday timepieces: automatic movements, considered details and a silhouette that feels at home with anything you wear.

A Scandinavian take on everyday timekeeping

Oliwer Oakes began with a question: what if a watch could feel as calm as a well-designed room? Instead of chasing loud trends or aggressive branding, the focus is on clarity, proportion and restraint – the same ideas that sit at the heart of Scandinavian design.

Each watch is automatic and built to be worn, not collected in a drawer. The goal is simple: a companion you can put on every morning without overthinking it – a quiet piece of engineering that earns its place on your wrist day after day.

Handmade, in considered batches

Our watches are assembled in small runs rather than endless production. This lets us keep a close eye on finishing, tolerances and quality control. Components are sourced from trusted partners and then checked, cased and regulated by hand.

Cases are machined from stainless steel. Crystals are selected for both clarity and durability. Dials are designed to remain legible in changing light, with typography that won’t feel dated in a year’s time.

Design that steps back

A good everyday watch should feel almost invisible until the moment you need it. That’s why the proportions are slim, the lines are clean and the colour palette is neutral: the watch should work with your clothes and your day, not fight against them.

Every detail – the shape of the lugs, the taper of the bracelet, the way the case sits flat on the wrist – is tuned to create that sense of ease. The result is something you can wear to work, on a weekend trip, or out in the evening without ever needing to swap it for something else.
