Our Story
To bring together our love of both watchmaking and jeweling, we spent 2 years designing, developing, and prototyping our Automatic Series watches as well as our Tourbillon Series watches.
Quality control for every Long Weekend watch component, as well as the entire assembly process of each Long Weekend watch is done in-house at our facility in Hong Kong by our dedicated team of craftsmen.
The assembly process of each of our Long Weekend watch requires 30-45 days.
As we meticulously go through quality control and assembly, we will update you every step of the way.

Movements
Automatic Gemstone Series & Automatic Diamond Series
A mechanical movement uses a mainspring with drives a clockwork mechanism to measure the passage of time. A automatic mechanical movement contains a oscillating weight that turns on a pivot, thus using the natural motions of the wearer's body to wind the mainspring.
For our Automatic Movements, Long Weekend uses the Miyota 9015
Miyota 9015:
- 24 Jewels
- 28,800bph (Vibration Frequency)
- 42hr Power Reserve
- 10s to 30s Accuracy
- 3 Hands
- Calendar Date
Tourbillon Series, Tourbillon Gemstone Series & Tourbillon Diamond Series
In a Tourbillon the escapement and the balance wheel are mounted in a rotating cage, in order to negate the effects of gravity when the timepiece (thus the escapement) is stuck in a certain position. By continuously rotating the entire balance wheel/escapement assembly at a slow rate (typically about one revolution per minute), the Tourbillon averages out positional errors. A automatic Tourbillon movement contains a oscillating weight that turns on a pivot, thus using the natural motions of the wearer's body to wind the movement.
For our Automatic Tourbillon Movements, Long Weekend uses the TY 802
TY802:
- 27 Jewels
- 2 Hands
- Rhodium Plated
- VVS 1.5mm Grade Single Cut Diamond on the Tourbillon Cage
