Meet the Garrick S3 Deadbeat Seconds

In the heart of Norfolk, England, Garrick has carved a name for itself as an independent watch brand dedicated to creation of exquisite timepieces for discerning collectors. Founded by the innovative duo David Brailsford and Simon Michelmayr in 2014, Garrick takes pride in its commitment to traditional British watchmaking. Their latest triumph, the S3 Deadbeat Seconds, epitomizes their ethos, marrying striking aesthetics with superb craftsmanship.

The Evolution of Elegance

The S3 Deadbeat Seconds is a captivating blend of elements from its predecessors, the S3 and S3 Mk2, now featuring an advanced deadbeat mechanism that heightens its appeal. Crafted from either stainless steel or gold, the 42mm case boasts water resistance up to 100 meters, perfectly suited for the modern aficionado. Its fluted onion-style crown and dual sapphire crystals enhance both visual allure and functionality.

A Dial That Dazzles

The watch showcases an openworked dial that dramatically reveals its intricate movement. The design is thoughtful, providing a circular-grained minutes/seconds ring in German silver, adorned with a bold Garrick logo. The absence of a running seconds subdial allows the central seconds hand to shine, while the iconic balance bridge remains at the 6 o’clock mark, elevating the piece's design.

Precision and Personalization

At the heart of the S3 Deadbeat Seconds beats the Garrick calibre DB-G07, a manually wound movement with 21 jewels that ticks at an impressive frequency of 18,000 vibrations per hour, offering a robust 45-hour power reserve. Each watch is further customizable: choose your chapter ring color and select from an array of handsets, including observatoire hands or heat-blued options.

Artistry on Both Sides

Turn the watch over, and you’re greeted with stunning beveled and frosted bridges, showcasing a hand-engraved balance cock. The genius of the deadbeat mechanism is on full display, connecting seamlessly to the movement. With various decorative finish options available — from grainy to mirror-polished — each watch becomes a personalized masterpiece.

Luxury Within Reach

Each S3 Deadbeat Seconds is fitted with a luxurious handmade leather strap, with options ranging from alligator to ostrich. Priced at GBP 40,000 for the steel version and GBP 47,000 for gold (excluding VAT), this exquisite watch is not just a timepiece but an investment in artistry. A 65% deposit secures your creation, with the balance due upon delivery.
