ZLTD Watches: The Singapore-Canadian Duo Redefining the Horology Landscape
In the realm where passion for horology inspires creativity, ZLTD Watches blossomed. The Singaporean and Canadian collaboration between Z.L. Toh and Raf Dzwonek, respectively, has shaken the watchmaking community with its distinctive approach and inspiration-driven vision. In the beginning, journeyman Toh immersed himself in the nuance-rich world of horology - watching numerous videos on YouTube, appreciating, learning, and absorbing every detail. The catalyst for his deep passion was a Roger Smith review video, a piece that opened his eyes to the bountiful world of horology he had been unaware of.
As the creation of Series 1 was underway, Dzwonek entered the scene to collaborate in producing the watch’s critical components. The influence of the Canadian watchmaker, combined with Toh’s vision, led to the birth of their much-admired Series 1 piece. This refreshing approach of successfully marrying passion, culture, and creativity in their designs has brought ZLTD Watches quick recognition among the watch-collector community, further spurred by the eagerly anticipated release of Series 2. With an inclined balance wheel and dial-side-exposed mechanics, the Series 2 is set to propel the brand’s reputation to greater heights.
In this era of over-saturated markets, ZLTD Watches breaks away from the norm and offers something different and refreshing. But more than just watches, the brand represents a bridge between passion and creativity in the horology world - making it more than just a marketing phrase, but their genuine conviction.
