About Us
A vintage watch is more than an instrument for telling time; it is a vessel of history, imbued with the character of its previous life. When you fasten one to your wrist, you are not just making a style choice, but embracing a legacy of precision and timeless design. Born from a pure passion for horological history, Ottuhr was founded in 2023 with a clear purpose: to uncover these remarkable timepieces and share them with a new generation of enthusiasts. We started with the conviction that the world of vintage watches should be open to everyone, from the curious newcomer to the seasoned collector.
Originally we were called UHR, a nod to the German word for “clock.” Our founder grew up surrounded by German influences as my mother was born there and half my family spoke only German. My grandfather was a passionate watch collector, and watches became a way for us to connect, even though my mother had to translate much of our conversations. I chose the name UHR because of that connection, but I wasn’t the only one with that idea. After running into branding issues and realizing how many others were using the same name, I knew I needed to go a different route. One night, while stressing over how I would move forward, I started looking through some of my old logo designs and realized that one of them resembled an otter. After that, I couldn’t help but go with Ottuhr.
