Precision engineering. Expert craftsmanship. Heirloom quality.
Named for one of the greatest heroes in literary history, ΟΔΥΣΣΈΑΣ—a man of intellect and versatility, strength and endurance, the Odysseus II is Swiss made automatic (self winding) and comes in a 43.5 mm stainless-steel case with DLC coating to minimize scratches.
An ultra-custom design for the most storied program in college lacrosse history. The Johns Hopkins Lacrosse Odysseus II features a semi-matte white dial with the “NAG” Bluejay in an embossed repeating pattern, a light blue chapter ring with each of the nine NCAA National Champion teams and three stars to honor the fallen Jays, a light blue second hand, and the Hopkins Lacrosse faithful cheer, “We Want More.” The watch back showcases the custom rotor embossed with a Jay head and a black engraving disc with room for 50 characters.

expert craftsmanship
AXIA Timepieces are designed in the US and hand-built by the same engineers who assemble other luxury Swiss watch brands in the legendary Alps town of Alle, where watchmakers have honed their craft for generations. AXIA Timepieces are also powered by the same movements as many of those brands. Premium watches without the premium price.
enduring quality
This isn't your typical piece of commemorative jewelry. We pay painstaking attention to every detail. From our designs and the components we use, to the customer service we deliver, our goal is to exceed expectations in everything we do. AXIA means value/worth in Greek and is at the heart of our ethos. Every Timepiece is built to last. In fact, just like the Parthenon outlasted the ancient Greeks, your AXIA Timepiece will probably outlast you.

Commemorating the most important memories of your life in something that you’ll actually wear is the reason I was drawn to AXIA Time.
If I had to choose between my superbowl ring and my watch, i'd pick my watch.
This watch is exquisite. I have many watches. But this one reminds me how lucky I was.
As an alum and now the proud father of a student, these matching, bespoke timepieces are a beautiful way to commemorate such a period in our lives.
AXIA Time was 30 years in the making.
Ever since winning the Lacrosse Ivy League Championship in 1988, founder John Kanaras searched for a high quality watch with a design that matched the significance of his achievements. In 2018, he built his vision, just in time for his alma mater team to win again.
