Our Story

From Grief to Greatness: The Birth of Warrior King Watches

Warrior King Watches began not with a business plan, but with a broken watch and a broken heart. In 2017, our founder lost his father— a man who, among other things, had a deep love for fine timepieces. Among his possessions was a cherished wristwatch, worn and weathered with time, yet heavy with meaning. It was this watch that the founder hoped to restore and wear in honour of his father's memory.

But when he took it to be repaired in Ghana, the watch came back damaged. The dial had been ruined, the soul of the piece stripped away with glue and guesswork. That moment didn't just spark frustration, it ignited a calling. What began as a simple wish to preserve a father's legacy became the seed of something far greater: a lifelong journey into horology, legacy, and craftsmanship.

What followed was a relentless pursuit of knowledge and skill. With no formal training, the founder taught himself watchmaking from scratch, watching videos, dissecting movements, and studying the techniques of both local artisans and Swiss masters. Starting from humble beginnings in Spintex and later in Greda Estate, he established HourHand Watch Co., a workshop equipped with Swiss-grade tools and a fierce Ghanaian spirit. From there, he built a reputation for integrity, precision, and a personal touch that most modern repair shops had long forgotten.

As the journey deepened, it became clear that this was never just about repairing watches. It was about restoring stories. Every timepiece carried memories, milestones, or meaning, things far more valuable than the mechanisms inside. This realisation inspired something more ambitious: the creation of an original watch brand that would not only function with excellence but also embody culture, history, and soul.

That vision became Warrior King.

Named after the very meaning of "Ghana," Warrior King is a watch brand born from remembrance, designed to reflect the power, pride, and purpose of the African spirit. It is a tribute to the kings and queens of old, the brave leaders, wise elders, and unsung artisans who laid the foundation for modern Ghana. Every Warrior King timepiece is built in Ghana by Ghanaian hands, blending Swiss-level craftsmanship with rich African storytelling.

From handcrafted leather straps using the finest hides to dials adorned with Adinkra symbols, every detail is intentional. Each watch is an heirloom in the making, one that can mark achievements, commemorate life's turning points, or honour the journey of those who came before us.

At the heart of Warrior King is customisation. We believe your watch should tell your story, not just the time. Whether through engraved initials, custom-built straps, or symbolic design features, we offer timepieces that are deeply personal, proudly Ghanaian, and globally competitive.

Our vision is bold: to create timepieces that merge elegance, durability, and ancestral ingenuity into designs that can stand alongside the world's finest. We're not here just to make watches, we are here to redefine what African luxury looks like.

Today, Warrior King Watches stands as a symbol of legacy reclaimed, identity celebrated, and craftsmanship elevated. With every tick, we carry a piece of the past into the future. From Ghana to the world, our mission is clear: to build watches that don't just keep time, they honour it.
