Precision engineering. Expert craftsmanship. Heirloom quality.
From the Greek word ΣΟΦΙΑ, meaning wisdom. The University of Michigan SOFIA II comes in a brushed and polished titanium 5 case with DLC coating and with a navy genuine alligator strap (made in the USA).
ultra custom design
We go the extra mile with commemorative designs to celebrate – and elevate – what's important to you. The sleek and subtle University of Michigan Sofia II features a delicately outlined navy block "M" inhabiting the prime real estate position on a navy multi-tiered dial.
Timepieces befitting of one of America's oldest universities.
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
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.

The Sofia II walks the thin aesthetic line between elegant and sporty...The tiered blue or black dial is understated...but shines in the details.
I still find it hard to believe that Axia Time packed so much value into this watch.
These watches are superbly crafted to the utmost tolerances with excellent, dependable Swiss movements.
There are countless companies that produce low quality, high-priced watches. Harder yet, is to find a company that produces a high quality, fair priced watch with excellent customer service, to boot. Axia Time is easily one of the latter. I highly recommend!
Amazing and beautifully made watches, very pleasant experience, impeccable customer service!!
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.
