Kauri is the personal vision of Swiss watchmaker Samuel Gillioz, combining traditional horology with a deep appreciation for natural materials and contemporary design. Founded in 2019, the brand draws its inspiration from the ancient Kauri wood of New Zealand, a symbol of endurance and timelessness. Each creation blends refined mechanical watchmaking with carefully selected precious woods, resulting in timepieces that are both technically accomplished and visually distinctive. Produced in limited numbers, Kauri offers a fresh perspective on independent watchmaking, where craftsmanship, creativity and respect for natural materials come together in a unique horological identity.
