QUALITY & TRANSPARENCY
Our Commitment to Quality & Transparency
At Tempus Sideris, we believe a truly exceptional timepiece is born from a global collaboration of passion and expertise. Our philosophy is built on transparency, and we want to share the journey of how our watches are made: from a simple idea to the finished piece on your wrist.
The Soul: Italian Design
Every Tempus Sideris watch begins its life in Italy. The concept, the story and the aesthetic are the product of Italian creativity and passion for horology. The Tellus collection was conceived and designed here, drawing inspiration from the deep connection between the Earth's landscapes and the cosmos. This is where the soul of our brand resides.
The Heart: Swiss Precision
The heart of any mechanical watch is its movement. For us, the choice was non-negotiable. At the core of every Tempus Sideris timepiece beats a Swiss Made Sellita SW216-1 caliber in the high-performance élaborée grade. Renowned for its reliability and robustness, this manual-winding movement ensures that the soul of our watch is powered by a heart that is precise, durable, and true to the finest traditions of Swiss watchmaking.
The Body: Global Manufacturing
To bring our designs to life with uncompromising quality and accessible value, we partner with specialized manufacturing in Shenzen, China. Our partners are leaders in producing high-precision components for many respected brands. Every component, from the 316L stainless steel case to the dials and hands, is crafted to our exact specifications and under strict quality control protocols. This strategic partnership allows us to achieve a level of finish and construction that would be impossible otherwise, ensuring you receive a product at an honest price.
Our Promise: Certified Quality
Our commitment to you is simple: to deliver a beautiful, reliable, and meaningful timepiece. The components from our global partners, along with our Swiss movements, are meticulously assembled and subjected to rigorous, multi-stage quality control checks.
Tempus Sideris is an Italian dream, powered by a Swiss heart, and brought to life by the specialized Asian suppliers. We are proud of this global approach and are confident that it is the best way to share our passion for time, the Earth, and the stars with you.
So, where are Tempus Sideris watches made?
Our watches are born from a global collaboration, uniting the best specialists from around the world. We believe in talent and transparency, not just labels. Here’s a breakdown of our process:
🇨🇭 Switzerland
The heart of every Tempus Sideris watch, the mechanical movement, is Swiss Made. We partner with Sellita to ensure precision, reliability, and a soul rooted in the finest watchmaking tradition.
🇨🇳 Shenzhen & Dongguan
The high-precision manufacturing of our components - the case, dial, hands, bracelet and our packaging - takes place in the technological hubs of Shenzhen and Dongguan, China.
🇮🇹 Italy
The vision, design, and storytelling are born in Italy. Furthermore, every watch undergoes a final quality control inspection here in Italy before it is shipped to you. This ensures that it meets our exacting standards, and yours.
We don't hide the origin of our components, nor the production Partners who bring them to life. On the contrary, we believe celebrating their expertise is the most honest and direct way to communicate with You.
