Key features: 316L stainless steel case, water resistance to 100 meters, Swiss Made self-winding movement, circular brushed finish dial, guilloche patterned subdial with the Maryland logo, hour indices and hands filled with Swiss Super-LumiNova (X1) – allowing them to all glow in the dark.

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.

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.

If I had to choose between my superbowl ring and my watch, i'd pick my watch.
Commemorating the most important memories of your life in something that you’ll actually wear is the reason I was drawn to AXIA Time.
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.
It is immensely satisfying to handle a watch where everything is just done right, where crisp edges, tight joins, and perfect alignment let you know that your hard-earned money has just purchased a precision machine.
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.
