Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using The Time Production website (the “Site”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and by any other policies or notices made available on the Site. If you do not agree with these Terms, you should discontinue your use of the Site.
The Time Production operates an independent editorial platform dedicated primarily to independent watchmaking, its creators, craftsmanship, culture and wider ecosystem. The Site publishes articles, interviews, educational content, commentary and other editorial materials relating to watches, watchmakers, founders, brands, manufactures, institutions and other participants in the watch industry. The selection of subjects covered on the Site is made according to editorial relevance and does not constitute comprehensive coverage of the watch industry.
The content published on the Site is provided primarily for editorial, informational and educational purposes. The Time Production does not guarantee that all information published on the Site will be complete, accurate or current at all times. We reserve the right to correct errors, inaccuracies or omissions and to modify, update or remove content without prior notice. Editorial opinions, reviews, commentary and assessments published on the Site may reflect the independent judgement and perspective of their respective author and may therefore be subjective in nature. Further information concerning The Time Production’s editorial principles, independence, research practices, corrections and disclosure standards is available in our Editorial Policy.
We may update or amend these Terms of Service from time to time. Any changes will become effective when the revised Terms are published on the Site. Your continued use of the Site following the publication of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
Certain features of the Site, including newsletter subscriptions, contact forms or other communications, may involve the collection and processing of personal information. Such processing is governed by our Privacy Policy.
The Site is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed at children. Where personal information is submitted through the Site, users must comply with any age or consent requirements applicable under relevant data protection laws.

Unless otherwise stated, the Site and the original content created and published by The Time Production, including articles, interviews, written materials, photographs, videos, graphics, illustrations, logos, visual elements, page layouts and other editorial materials (collectively, the “Content”), are owned by or licensed to The Time Production and may be protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws.
You may access and view the Content for personal, informational and non-commercial purposes. You may also share links to publicly available pages of the Site through websites, social media platforms, messaging services or other channels, provided that such sharing does not misrepresent The Time Production or suggest an endorsement, partnership or affiliation that does not exist.
Unless expressly authorised in writing by The Time Production or otherwise permitted by applicable law, you may not reproduce, republish, distribute, sell, license, modify, adapt, translate, commercially exploit or create derivative works from substantial portions of the Content.
You may not systematically extract, scrape, harvest, reproduce or compile Content or data from the Site, whether manually or through automated means, for the purpose of creating databases, commercial products, competing publications or other services without prior written permission from The Time Production.
The trademarks, logos, trade names and other brand identifiers displayed on the Site remain the property of their respective owners. References to watch brands, manufacturers, individuals, institutions, products or other third parties are made for editorial and i
nformational purposes and do not imply ownership, endorsement, sponsorship or affiliation unless expressly stated.
Certain photographs, videos, illustrations, trademarks, logos or other materials appearing on the Site may belong to third parties and may be reproduced or used under licence, permission, editorial usage rights or other applicable legal grounds. Nothing in these Terms grants users any ownership or licence in such third-party materials.
Any rights not expressly granted under these Terms are reserved.
Section 2 - Third-Party Websites and External Links
The Site may contain links to websites, platforms, services or other resources operated by third parties (“Third-Party Services”). These links are provided for editorial, informational or convenience purposes.
The inclusion of a link to a Third-Party Service does not imply that The Time Production owns, controls, endorses, sponsors or is affiliated with that third party, unless expressly stated otherwise.
The Time Production does not control and is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, content, privacy practices, security, products, services or other activities of Third-Party Services. Your use of any Third-Party Service is subject to the terms, policies and practices of the relevant third party.
You access Third-Party Services at your own discretion and should review any applicable terms and privacy policies before providing personal information or entering into any transaction with them.
The Time Production may add, modify or remove links to Third-Party Services at any time without notice.
Section 3 - Linking to The Time Production
You may link to publicly available pages of the Site without prior written permission, provided that the link is made in a lawful and fair manner and does not damage or take unfair advantage of the reputation of The Time Production.
Any link to the Site must not:
- falsely suggest that The Time Production endorses, sponsors, approves or is affiliated with the linking website, organisation, product or service;
- misrepresent the nature or content of the Site;
- be presented in a misleading, defamatory, unlawful or deceptive context; or
reproduce or frame substantial portions of the Site in a manner that creates confusion as to the origin or ownership of the Content.
Links should, where reasonably possible, direct users to the relevant publicly available page on the Site.
The use of The Time Production’s name solely for the purpose of accurately identifying or linking to the Site is permitted. However, The Time Production’s logos, visual identity, graphics or other protected brand assets may not be used in a manner that implies endorsement, partnership or affiliation without prior written permission.
The Time Production reserves the right to request the removal or modification of any link that it reasonably considers misleading, unlawful, harmful to its reputation or inconsistent with these Terms.
Section 4 - Communications, Contributions and User-Submitted Content
The Site may allow users to contact The Time Production, submit information, respond to requests, participate in surveys or initiatives, or otherwise provide comments, ideas, suggestions, photographs, documents, information or other materials (“Submissions”).
You remain responsible for any Submission that you provide and for ensuring that you have the necessary rights and permissions to submit it.
By submitting material to The Time Production, you represent that your Submission does not knowingly:
- infringe the copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity or other rights of any third party;
- contain unlawful, defamatory, threatening, fraudulent, abusive or otherwise unlawful material;
- contain malicious software, viruses or other harmful code; or
- misrepresent your identity or the origin of the Submission.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, submitting material to The Time Production does not require us to publish, use, retain, acknowledge, compensate or respond to that material.
Where you expressly submit material for possible publication, editorial consideration or inclusion in The Time Production’s content, you grant The Time Production a non-exclusive, worldwide and royalty-free licence to review, reproduce, edit, adapt, format and publish that material to the extent reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was submitted.
This licence does not transfer ownership of your original material to The Time Production.
The Time Production may decline, edit or remove any Submission at its discretion where reasonably necessary for editorial, legal, operational or security purposes.
Where required by applicable law, The Time Production may retain or disclose information relating to a Submission in order to comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, enforce these Terms, investigate potential misuse of the Site or protect the rights and safety of The Time Production, its users or third parties.

In addition to any other restrictions set out in these Terms, you may not use the Site or its Content:

Section 6 - Accuracy, Completeness and Timeliness of Information
The Time Production seeks to provide accurate, reliable and up-to-date editorial information. However, the watch industry evolves continuously, and information relating to products, specifications, prices, availability, companies, individuals, events or other subjects covered on the Site may change after publication.
Accordingly, while reasonable efforts are made to maintain the quality and accuracy of the Content, The Time Production does not guarantee that all information published on the Site will at all times be complete, accurate, current or free from error.
Certain Content may include editorial opinions, reviews, commentary, analysis or assessments that are inherently subjective and should not be understood as statements of objective fact. The Time Production may consult official documentation, watchmakers, brands, manufacturers or other relevant sources in order to verify factual information, but any such verification does not give the subject of the Content editorial control over the resulting publication.
The Content is provided for general informational, educational and editorial purposes only and does not constitute financial, investment, legal, technical or other professional advice. Users should independently verify information that may be material to a purchasing, financial, professional or other significant decision and, where appropriate, consult the relevant manufacturer, retailer, service provider, professional adviser or other appropriate primary source.
The Site may also contain archival or historical Content that reflects information available at the time of publication and may no longer be current.
The Time Production may correct, update, modify or remove Content at any time without prior notice but is under no general obligation to update previously published material unless required by applicable law.
Section 7 - Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability
The Site and its Content are made available on an “as is” and “as available” basis.
While The Time Production takes reasonable steps to maintain the availability, security and quality of the Site, it does not guarantee that access to the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free or free from technical issues, viruses or other harmful components.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, The Time Production makes no warranties or representations, whether express or implied, regarding the operation or availability of the Site or the completeness, accuracy, reliability or suitability of its Content for any particular purpose.
The Time Production shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential or special loss or damage arising out of or in connection with the use of, or inability to use, the Site or its Content, including loss resulting from reliance upon information published on the Site, except where such liability cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability arising from fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, wilful misconduct or any other matter for which exclusion or limitation of liability would be unlawful.
The Time Production may temporarily suspend, modify or discontinue all or part of the Site for maintenance, technical, editorial, security or operational reasons without prior notice where reasonably necessary.
