Precision engineering. Expert craftsmanship. Heirloom quality.
Choate Rosemary Hall, one of the preeminent preparatory schools in the nation, steeped in history and tradition, warrants an heirloom quality, ultra-custom timepiece.
Named for one of the greatest heroes in literary history, ΟΔΥΣΣΕΑΣ, a man of intellect and versatility, strength and endurance, the Odysseus Timepiece is Swiss made automatic (self-winding) with water resistance to 200 meters. This timepiece comes in a 43.5mm stainless-steel case and matte white dial with boar's head repeating pattern, custom chapter ring and blue rotating bezel.
ultra custom design
We go the extra mile with commemorative designs to celebrate – and elevate – what's important to you. Customizations for the Choate Odysseus include a white matte dial with an engraved boar's head in a repeating pattern, the Choate logo inhabiting the prime real estate position, and "FOREVER TRUE" featured around the chapter ring at the hour marks.
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.

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.
Commemorating the most important memories of your life in something that you’ll actually wear is the reason I was drawn to AXIA Time.
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.
