Aevig Huldra Orange

From passion to profession

“Aevig” is Old Norse and means “eternal”.

The brand was founded in 2013 by Chip Yuen, a long-time watch collector and a great lover of vintage watches from the 1950s to the 1970s. His collecting led him to the world's largest watch community, Watchuseek, where Chip eventually designed two project watches and began his journey to starting his own watch company.

For Chip, designing watches is more about details than technical specifications. With a background in art, design, film, and surprisingly, Chinese food (from a family business), Chip understands the importance of nuances that can decisively influence a design.

Apart from the movements used, everything is designed and manufactured from scratch; all designs are unique. From dress watches to dive watches and beyond – we'll see…

Elements that define a category are selected and analyzed, the best form for comfort and aesthetics is drawn, and last but not least, function is not neglected.
All designs are inspired by retro and vintage styles, with a timeless elegance that results in a contemporary look with a nod to the past. The watches are crafted from modern materials and, depending on the model, feature a wealth of functions.

In the coming years, Aevig will gradually build up a complete range of watches, from dress watches to chronographs. All with the same attention to detail and retro styling that defines an Aevig watch.
