TURNING TIME INTO ART

At Humism, the watch is an art canvas with an unique possibility: movement.

Inspired by the Kinetic Art movement of the 1950s, our kinetic sculptures use the movement of time to reimagine the watch's purpose.

Instead of a keeper of routine, our watches turn time into spellbinding art, revealing the beauty of the flowing present.

POWERED BY YOU

Unlike most watches which are powered by batteries, automatic watches are powered by human motion. Your arm's movement propels hundreds of precisely assembled gears and springs — a feat of engineering artistry.

GIVING BACK

In an increasingly chaotic world, it is important that we all play our part. To this end, we give 2% of our web-store sales to charity. One watch provides a month of food for a child impacted by natural disaster.

We currently partner with Mercy Relief, a relief agency responding to disasters around Asia. Read more about their work here.

MASTERFULLY CRAFTED

Sapphire Crystal

Sapphire Crystal is incredibly scratch-resistant, rating '9' on the Mohs scale of hardness, just a spot behind diamonds.

316L Surgical Steel

To frame our kinetic art, we designed a case that is minimalistic, almost geometric, with carefully balanced proportions, symmetrical bevels, and clean, angular forms.

Italian Leather

We use full-grain leather for our straps — the strongest and most natural-looking type of leather. Our leather is vegetable-tanned — a natural leather processing method.

Kinetic Art Discs

To ensure accuracy and durability, our discs are impossibly thin and light. Products of years of research, these discs are crafted with proprietary Japanese technology.

100% Quality Control

All watches are put through a series of stringent quality control tests, such as water resistance and drop tests. We manually regulate each watch to ensure they keep time accurately.

A good watch is worth recommending. Looking forward to the launch of more new products in the future.

Amazing watch!

This has quickly become my favorite watch. It fits great on my wrist and is stunning to look at. I would 100% recommend this watch to any looking to start or expand their collection.

Design Matters!

Probably six months ago when I got fully immersed in the YouTube watch world, I came across the HUMISM watches and knew straight away I would want to have one of these pristine art pieces in my collection. Sure enough, and in person the watch is stunning. Many times these type of creative watches are smaller case sizes but with my 8" wrist I prefer the 42mm-44mm size. So, the Kato is 42 and fits perfectly on my wrist. It comes with a very nice leather strap but again, I had already figured out I had want to put a razor-wire bracelet and now I believe I have the perfect watch. Certainly not a daily driver, but, when I am doing something super creative, this is my go-to watch. I really appreciate the passion and mission statement that HUMISM strives for and I am happy I am a part of that now. Highly recommend!

Really a beautiful time piece that’s super different than most watches out there … glad to have it in the collection! I’d also look for a silver band that isn’t leather.
