Origins

Techné makes purposeful timepieces for adventurers who forge their own paths.

Founded in 2009 by an outdoors enthusiast, the brand delivers rugged and reliable watches built for action. The name Techné, from the Greek word for “skill”, and embodies precision and purpose.

Philosophy

Rooted in retro military design, Techné Instruments blend Swiss engineering and affordability. They use bold and contrasted layouts, earthy tones and tactical materials to elevate casual style with a lasting quality.

Legacy

The 2009 debut "SparrowHawk" collection honoured the founder’s WWI war hero great-grandfather. Since then, each Techné collection has been named after bird-inspired military aircrafts, to reflects the brand's tribute to courage and valour.
