Back to the beginning...

Accurist was founded in 1946 by Asher and Rebecca Loftus in London’s Clerkenwell district, which at the time was the watchmaking capital of Britain. Accurist was founded with a vision of creating premium quality watches from Swiss components and a brand name with enduring value.

Watches were once considered a ‘once in a lifetime’ purchase, but Accurist set out to change this by introducing a fashion element into the design and manufacturing of their watches. Accurist watches were catapulted into pop-culture, being seen on the wrists of British icons such as The Beatles and Twiggy, and were even seen on royal wrists. Soon, millions around the world were wearing Accurist watches and the brand became a household name.
