LIMITED TO ONLY 170 NUMBERED PIECES FOR EACH VARIATION

For the love of Scotland

The Saltire Collection integrates elements of Scottish history and culture into a beautifully crafted timepiece.

The Collection is named after the National Flag of Scotland

The Saltire is the name of the Scottish national flag. It is a white St. Andrew’s Cross on a background of a blue sky. On all three variations of the Saltire Collection, a Saltire cross is subtly placed across the dial. At first glance, you see a modern but classic looking watch. It is only when you examine the face a bit closer that the cross becomes apparent.

Thistle-shaped bezel zero marker

‘Oh Flower of Scotland...’ – the first words of the Scottish National Anthem were the inspiration for our logo and the bezel Zero Marker.

The Thistle, also the emblem of the country, is called the flower of Scotland. Its purple and green colours are evident across both Highland and Lowlands. We designed our ‘zero marker’, or ‘twelve hour marker"’ for the sapphire bezel insert in the shape of a thistle. All the markings on the bezel insert  are filled with Swiss Super-Luminova luminescence.

Second hand shaped as a practice chanter

The simple wind instrument used to learn the bagpipes was the inspiration for our second hand.


The Chanter is an instrument used by all aspiring bagpipes players. The Highland Bagpipes were first mentioned as being played at the 1314 Battle of Bannockburn against the invading  English army. Now they are the Scottish National instrument played by thousands in Scotland and around the world.

1. Who is Scotland Watch Company?

Four years ago a "well-aged" Scottish horologist Tomek Borkowy decided to create a watch company. The combination of Tomek's love for Scotland and watches led to him fulfilling his dream to create quality watches dedicated to the history and culture of Scotland.  SWC does not want to make tourist tat, but design and produce short runs of unique themed mechanical art.

5. Why do I have to wait for delivery?

The intricate details and the unique design of the Saltire Collection means that each watch will take time to produce. The case has be moulded, dial, hands and indexes are made from scratch; the movements will be imported from the Seiko factory in Japan and the Super-Luminova will be imported from Switzerland.  In order to ensure the highest-quality product, we cannot rush the process.

7. How can I choose my individual number for my Saltire(s)?

All supporters will be able to personalise their watch by reserving the number of their choice (1-170) of each variation. This can be done on our reservation page https://www.scotlandwatchco.scot/the-saltire-reservation-page.  When you reserve the watch, you will be able to select from a list of remaining numbers for each of the variations. This selection process will be on a “first come first serve” basis. If your number has already been selected, you will have to choose another number. If you have no preference for a specific number, we will randomly allocate you one.  Reservation payments are not refundable.  If you need any help, please write to hello@scotlandwatchco.scot
