A simple "thank you" hardly feels like enough. We are once again blown away by the incredible response to our Onyx Scout sale.
​With 190 watches sold in just one month, I am truly humbled that the pieces I design resonate so strongly with my fellow collectors. Our focus now shifts entirely to production and assembly - the Naked Druid parts are nearly ready, so we should be very busy! 😍

When I first started working on the Onyx version, I’ll admit I was hesitant. After using so many saturated colours in my previous designs, I was concerned that moving to a monochromatic palette might feel too "quiet" and understated. I couldn't have been more wrong!

By stripping away the colour, the architectural details of the watch have become clearer before. The deep, light-absorbing natural Onyx dial creates a high-contrast stage that allows the light to catch every aspect of the dial and case without interruption.

What's under the hood

The Dial: multiple applied metal layers, surrounding the perfectly polished, natural Onyx complement the architectural shape of the case and attract light from as many angles as possible. All of this is topped with cast, BGW 9 Luminova markers - further enhancing the 3d effect,

The Movement: A heavily modified Miyota 9039 featuring bespoke bridges with a sunray pattern and the Welsh dragon engraved onto the balance c**k,

​The Rotor: A custom full-circle rotor, inspired by a local archaeological find—bringing a piece of history to your wrist,

The Case: 39mm 316L Stainless Steel case, 10 ATM water resistance, and a sapphire crystal with multi-layer AR coating,

The Bracelet: the completely custom, stainless steel bracelet was designed with comfort and quality in mind. Every link is made out of 7 separate pieces with alternating finishes, spare links are held in with screws and the clasp features an on-the-fly micro adjustment system.

Moving from bold palettes to the Onyx version was a challenge in my mind. I was afraid that the watch might lose it's "soul", or become too understated. How wrong was I?! 😂

What I discovered was that this monochromatic depth actually elevates the architecture of the watch.
​By stripping away the color, the eye is attracted more to the dial's three-dimensional appearance and finish details. You forget that it's stone, until you compare it to other, "black" watches 😉

Preorders start March 1st for £550 (+VAT for UK customers) on our website. Link in bio!

When we launch on March 1st, it’s not just about the look - it’s about the engineering. We’ve taken the ultra-reliable Miyota 9039 and made it our own.
​Custom modifications include:
Bespoke Bridges: Fully redesigned with a striking sunray pattern.
Fully circular rotor: Inspired by a Roman horse bridle mount unearthed near our workshop when designing the watch, serving as a nice nod to our local area.

All adjusted by me during assembly.

Most watch dials are designed to reflect light. Y Sgowt Onyx was built to absorb it.

​There is something hypnotic about a dial crafted from solid, natural stone. One moment, it’s a perfect black mirror reflecting the world around you with precision. The next, it’s a deep, inky void that feels bottomless.

​It’s a watch that balances the grit of a tool watch with the sophistication of a formal classic. The Y Sgowt Onyx isn't just a new colorway—it’s an entirely different side of the Scout’s character.

Launching March 1st for a limited time at £550 (+VAT for UK customers). Link in bio.
