Our origins
Hi, I’m Chris Melchior, the founder of UnconstrainedTime.
We also have an expert in watches and jewelry (Evan Fry) as part of our team.
My background is in fine art (and music). Here are details of my artistic development
The fact that I am not coming from a basis of being trained in watch design or being an enthusiast of most conventional watch designs, means that the influences on my watch designs are different to that of most microbrands . . .
Why UnconstrainedTime is so unique.
Coming from different influences has resulted in a very individual brand.
It’s unlikely that I would have created watch designs like these if I had the same basis as most watch designers.
The initial idea for the radically simplified time-display, and various watch design ideas, originated in a dream I had while traveling.
It was only after I’d produced some UnconstrainedTime watches that I was happy to find out that what I’d created has a place in this era, aligning with the independence and creative freedoms of microbrands, the enthusiast’s desire for something unique, and conceptual-art-jewelry as a personal exploration of concepts and chosen aesthetics.
Our brand arguably presents the first timepieces to be fundamentally based on chosen aesthetics rather than originating mainly from the influences of the functionality implicit in fine jewelry or digital time displays. More detail on that, and a lot of other relevant topics, in our blog post, here.
That allows our watches to give our customers the experience of something truly unique, which definitely won’t look like every other watch on the market.
Our limited-edition watches are visually exceptional, conceptually fascinating, and have an abundance of personality. It will be obvious to anyone who sees you wearing one, that an UnconstrainedTime watch is not mass-produced.
Our brand philosophy and small size allows us to be fully committed to offering excellent customer service.
It’s hugely encouraging to me, as I develop this brand, how excited people are to see something genuinely unique and individual.
We welcome involvement from anyone interested in our brand (links to our social-media channels are below).
