Kristian Kiel, the family watch brand creating collectible luxury watches designed to carry memories, born of architect Brian Newick’s legacy and a love of travel. The name blends Kiel; the port whose canal makes journeys more efficient; and Kristian, our shorthand for Northern engineering values: function first, practical reliability, and purposeful detail. For over two decades, our timepieces have appeared in many of the world’s finest hotels and destinations.

 

Travel has always been central to our lives; family, work, and celebrating milestones. The places we stayed, and their architecture, turned trips into lasting memories. Brian believed in useful beauty and often spoke of a small, honest watch brand built on timeless design and everyday performance. From this inspiration, Kristian Kiel was born: stylish, dependable watches that carry memories - rooted in Brian’s legacy, Northern values, and travel.
