What Kintao Means
“Kin” is about our roots—about belonging, about honoring the people and ideas that shaped us.
“Tao” is about the path forward—a quiet push into new design territory.
Why we started
We believe the past holds hidden treasures.
By rediscovering and breathing fresh life into overlooked watchmaking ideas, we invite curiosity and care back into the craft—reminding ourselves that sometimes, the best way forward is to revisit what we once left behind.
What we do
We revive lost or under appreciated watchmaking features with modern creativity and precision. Each design strikes a quiet balance between familiarity and innovation, elegance and utility, honoring the artistry of heritage while shaping a new path ahead.
Kintao embodies harmony between opposites: tradition and innovation, simplicity and complexity, engineering and philosophy. It’s an ongoing exploration of how past wisdom can spark tomorrow’s possibilities—one subtle, deliberate decision at a time.
