Handcrafted timepieces from Visoko — high above Ljubljana
Discover my watchesFrom the workshop
In my workshop in the village of Visoko — meaning "high" — above Ljubljana, I have been handcrafting mechanical watches since 2015, combining pilot watch tradition with precise horological craft. Every time machine is unique — built with love, patience, and respect for mechanics.
