Helm Watches 🇺🇲

HELM Watches, and the company behind the brand―The Helm Group Limited―are American owned and operated, with roots in North Carolina. Conceived in the summer of 2014, HELM Watches was founded in September of the same year and their first watch, the Vanuautau 300m Automatic, was introduced in October, 2015.

Helm produce durable, affordable, dependable timepieces that are inspired by adventure and exploration, and designed for a lifetime of both.

The same spirit of adventure and exploration that inspires brand an watches (the kind of spirit, incidentally, that sometimes gets the better of common sense) is what inspired Helm to move half way around the world to launch a new company and a new brand among a sea of other brands.

To ensure every watch is up to the task, Helm committed to quality from day one. And that's a commitment that involves more than just words and good intentions. Regardless of the product in question or the country of origin, if multiple parts and multiple suppliers are involved, consistent quality is tough to maintain―especially from the far side of an ocean. So Helm packed up and switched sides, relocating to Hong Kong and southern China to be close to their suppliers and monitor every step of the production process.

This same commitment to quality was behind Helm decision to test our dive watches in accordance with the ISO 6425 standard, which requires submerging every complete watch in water for 2 hours at a pressure equal to 125% of the watch's water resistance rating. It's a time consuming process that most brands don't bother with. But the brand feeling is, if a dive watch doesn't keep water out, it's not much use, and we think we should be the ones to discover that―not you. It's certainly not the easiest way. But then, most things done well usually aren't done the easy way.

Helm watches models: Khuraburi, Khuraburi Titanium, Komodo, Miyako, Vanuatu and Vanuatu Titanium.
