For nearly three decades, Colonel Arthur HOVX (Ret.) has dedicated his life to the pursuit of precision, resilience and timeless craftsmanship. What began as a personal discipline during his years of service evolved into the foundation of the HOVX watchmaking philosophy.
After completing 22 years with the British Armed Forces, Col. HOVX returned to his home in Yorkshire with a vision: to create timepieces that reflected the values he lived by—discipline, endurance, and unwavering reliability. He believed a watch should be more than an accessory; it should be a dependable instrument built for real life.
Every HOVX timepiece is assembled with meticulous attention to detail, combining traditional British craftsmanship with functional, purpose-driven design. Our watches are created for individuals who value authenticity over trends—those who move quietly, act decisively and rely on integrity in all things.
"If it wouldn't survive the field, I wouldn't sign my name to it."
— Col. HOVX
Today, HOVX Watches remains committed to the principles that founded the brand. Strong materials, clean lines, reliable performance and a quiet, enduring elegance—crafted for those who demand more from the instruments they carry.
