Makina means “machine,” derived from the Spanish word máquina. It’s also what we call movements in our homeland, Philippines. With a subtle lean toward form over function, our design language fuses industrial grit with quiet elegance. Here for those looking for something different — a little off-center, defiant, and entirely their own — made in limited numbers, by design.​

​

Our timepieces have gained recognition from prestigious design institutions such as the A' Design Awards, International Design Awards, European Product Design Awards, Muse Design Awards, New York Product Design Awards, London Design Awards, London International Creative Competition, and others. Our portfolio includes our standard collection, as well as commissioned timepieces for companies and organizations like the Philippine Olympic Committee, San Miguel Corporation, University of the Philippines, Philippine Heart Center, and more.

​

All models are conceptualized, designed, engineered, and assembled in the Philippines, with parts manufactured in Manila and Hong Kong, under Makina & Co. We use Swiss-made movements (Sellita), also used by other luxury brands.

 

Thank you for following our work. Stay tuned for more bold alternatives from our family company. 

 

From man behind the Machine,
