Built by Hand, Since 2001

In a Yerevan workshop, Armenian watchmakers still assemble every movement by hand. ByGrigoryans brings that work to your wrist, certified, insured, and priced honestly.

Armenian watchmaking deserves a place on the world's wrist. That belief started our workshop in 2001, and it still runs every piece we ship today.

The House of Grigoryans

ByGrigoryans began with a simple belief Armenian watchmaking deserves a place on the world's wrist. From our roots in Yerevan to our home in Los Angeles, we curate timepieces built by hand since 2001: open-heart mechanicals, moonphase classics, and dress watches that outlive trends. No inflated luxury pricing. No mass-produced shortcuts. Just honest craft, certified authentic, delivered insured to your door.

Bought the open-heart automatic as a gift for my father's 60th birthday, and he hasn't taken it off since the day it arrived. He grew up in Yerevan, so seeing 'Made in Armenia' on the dial meant more to him than any Swiss name ever could. The finishing is beautiful, the movement is mesmerizing to look at, and the whole thing arrived in packaging that felt like a luxury unboxing.

Happy Client
This was my first mechanical watch and I couldn't have picked a better introduction. Watching the balance wheel move through the open dial never gets old it's like wearing a tiny piece of engineering art. The buying process was smooth, delivery was fully tracked and insured, and the watch arrived exactly as pictured. Months later it still runs flawlessly, and it's turned me into someone who reads about watchmaking for fun.

Happy Client
Shipping was faster than expected, the presentation box felt genuinely premium, and the watch itself gets compliments at least once a week. What surprised me most was the weight and build quality solid, precise, clearly made with care. I'm already eyeing my second piece from the collection, probably the chronograph next.

Happy Client
Got the ladies' model in rose gold and it's exactly what I wanted delicate on the wrist but substantial in quality. It reads far more expensive than what I paid, and it pairs just as well with jeans as it does with an evening dress. When I had a question about strap sizing, customer service got back to me within the hour with a helpful, human answer.

Happy Client
I'll admit I was skeptical about ordering a watch from a brand I'd never heard of. Two months in, I'm converted: it keeps perfect time, the leather strap has broken in beautifully, and I genuinely love wearing something that isn't on every other wrist in the room. There's a story behind this one and people ask about it.

THE ATELIER

Finished by hand, at the bench

Every AWI timepiece is built the slow way. Materials are chosen for weight and longevity, shaped by hand at the bench, and checked at every stage before moving to the next. Nothing is rushed to meet a quota. The result is a watch that holds its finish, keeps its accuracy, and still feels right years after you bought it.
