A mile high in the sky, a bold new watchmaking project is emerging. Specializing in the art of producing hand-engraved Guilloché Vitreous Enamel dials, 5280 Watch Co is pioneering an altogether different category of timepieces. Combining centuries-old engraving techniques and the manual, time-consuming process of vitreous enameling, every timepiece is by its nature a one-off timepiece.
Our dials are made entirely by hand in Colorado, every one crafted by our resident Rose Engine Turning artist, a trade practiced today by fewer than 150 individuals in the world. These remarkable rose engines are the same tool used by Karl Fabergé to create his signature decoration, guilloché enameling, for his fabled Fabergé eggs.
The founder and CEO, Rich, has been an avid watch collector for years. After being unable to find enamel watches in the market without years long waitlists, and not being able (or willing) to purchase a $30,000 watch, he decided to go into business building the watches that he wanted to wear. Rich wanted to ensure that the quality of the watch was worth a lifetime warranty, but also stayed affordable enough that it is an attainable time piece, not just a "grail" watch.
