At Love Hunter Watches (LHW), we create handcrafted mechanical watches from the ground up.

Founded by Love Hunter in 2023 during the covid outbreak, he resigned from his 15 year position at Breitling USA to fully immerse himself in his dream of creating his very own watch company. Starting out in a cramped basement in Derby, CT, we have been able to upgrade all of our equipment and secured an amazing workshop to continue all the needed manufacturing processes seamlessly. As a highly skilled Swiss trained watchmaker of 22 years, Love Hunter Watches strives for high quality, American-made machining and finishing work in an industry saturated with euro-centric time pieces.

The LOVE 1, LHWs first official model, is the first fully titanium handmade movement alongside its handmade titanium escapement. We design, model, cut, and manufacture upwards of 97% of our watch components in-house, ranging from escape wheels to pallet forks. LHW is a driven endeavor to craft beautiful and long lasting works of art for generations to wear and enjoy with pride.

As of Feb 16, 2026, we near the end of the production process of this first piece, and are just barely staying afloat on top of monumental loans. Acquiring rare, one of a kind, watchmaking apparatuses and materials is no easy feat. Nonetheless, we stand unwavering in our quest to make our unmistakable mark in the watchmaking world. We want to be able to provide rent for our place of work on time.

We are asking for $7,000 and the funds will be used as follows:

-Rental costs

-Utilities (power, water)

-Maintinence of machinery

-Supplies and raw materials

Please assist us in fulfilling our mission.

Many thanks.
