Our Story
We are inspired by life and labour and believe it deserves to be celebrated. Hibernal was founded to do exactly that. To elevate working people through the lens of watchmaking. The ones who don't make it into the campaigns of other brands, but deserve to.
We make watches built for the demands of work and life. Designs that feel new yet familiar, balancing style with durability and longevity. Manufactured to a high standard. Because working people deserve well-made things. And they deserve honesty about how and where those things are made.
Hibernal is a one-man team based in Edmonton, Canada, where our watches are designed, regulated, and packaged. But behind that one person is a network of talented contractors and manufacturers across the world, from local packaging manufacturers to the best production partners in Hong Kong, China, and Japan. Without their craftsmanship, none of this would be possible.
