Piers Berry, a professional English designer with a background in digital design, founded Pinion watches in 2013 as an antidote, he claims, to living in a highly digital world. With a production of roughly 500 watches a year, Pinion watches are designed by Berry and equipped with contemporary and vintage Swiss movements. With three watch lines to date – Axis, Pure and Revival – the watches exude a handsome yet rugged appeal and Pinion can claim to be the first UK-based brand to introduce a watch with a bronze case, made in Switzerland, of course.
