History guides our watchmaking house, and our customers bring it to life.
Each watch we create becomes a timeless tribute to the events and figures that have marked our world.
About Us
At Col&MacArthur, we don't just design watches, but stories to be experienced. Each model is an invitation to explore a universe where temporal markers intersect, and where every detail echoes a heritage. By wearing one of our collections, you're not simply wearing a timepiece. You're embodying a story. Our mission is to embody history, inspire the present, and shape the future. Our watches are bearers of memory, witnesses to the past, and beacons for the future. Timeless. Like the stories they preserve, each creation spans generations. Choosing a Col&MacArthur means becoming the guardian of powerful moments, bearer of knowledge passed down from generation to generation. A story that you, in turn, will pass on. Our collections weave a link between collective memory and personal values. Each watch pays homage to what unites us, building a bridge between eras and transmitting the emotion of what connects us to the world.
“Knowledge acquired in youth is set in stone.”

Our mission
We envision a world where history does not remain static, but rather comes alive in every moment of our daily lives. Every significant event, every life spanning the ages, leaves an echo that spans generations. By honoring these legacies, we shape a present rich with the lessons of the past. At Col&MacArthur, our mission goes beyond mere preservation. It is about rekindling the flames of history, making these stories resonate in our hearts and actions. We aspire to transmit a living memory not as a burden, but as a strength. We dream of a community united by these stories and ready to carry them like a torch. Our vision rests on these men and women who, through their commitment, become guardians of time and protectors of the values that bind us both to those who came before us and to those who will follow. The past is not just a memory; it is the key to an enlightened future, guided by what shaped us. Join us and become a bearer of a living memory, join a line of guardians of stories and witnesses of what unites us.
An adventure born from passion.
The story of Col&MacArthur began in 2013, when a meeting between Sébastien Colen and a former member of the British Royal Guard gave birth to a first watch, dedicated to a unique heritage. It was the beginning of a passionate adventure, where each watch told a story, that of communities, regiments, and the men and women who have left their mark on history. Over the years, the company has evolved and reinvented itself, moving from community watches to commemorative watches. With iconic models like Armistice or Lunar 1969, each piece has become much more than a simple timepiece: it is a symbol, a tribute to the events that have shaped our world. Today, Col&MacArthur continues to write its story, combining precision, elegance, and the transmission of memory, with the ambition of celebrating the great figures and key moments in history.
