Yesah began with a single sketch in the spring of 2014. A wood-faced watch that felt like the place it came from — quiet, durable, made to be lived in. The first version sold out. Then, for ten years, we stopped. Life arrived. The sketch stayed.

We're back with the watch we set out to make a decade ago — refined, automatic, designed in the Appalachians and built to be worn for a lifetime. We hope it finds a wrist that suits it.

— The Details

Built for a long, quiet life.

Considered choices throughout. Materials that wear in, not out. A movement and a case that ask to be lived with.

01 / 04

Solid Wood Dials

Walnut, white oak, and Tennessee cherry. Each dial milled from a single block, sealed, and matched by hand. No two are alike.

02 / 04

Automatic Movement

A 24-jewel Miyota 9015 caliber. 42-hour reserve. Hand-windable. Built to keep time for a lifetime.

03 / 04

Two-Tone Leather

Cut from full-grain hides finished in Loudon, Tennessee. Saddle-stitched, edge-burnished, and meant to patina with wear.

04 / 04

Made to Be Worn

Brushed 316L steel case. 50m water resistance. Sapphire crystal. Patina, scratches, and stories are encouraged.
