ABOUT US
Like high-performance cars, watches appeal both on a purely aesthetic level and because they’re exquisite examples of mechanical precision. So, it’s hardly surprising that many car enthusiasts are also watch enthusiasts.
Over the years, this synergy has seen numerous chronographs with links to motorsport created. However, at Octane & Lock we instead take our inspiration from the gauges and design details of the world’s most iconic road cars.
Our aim is to allow lovers of watches and cars to express their twin passions via automatic timepieces of the highest quality. But we also want these to be as affordable as possible, which is why we sell direct to consumers.
All Octane & Lock watches use Swiss movements but are proudly designed and assembled in Great Britain.

WHAT’S BEHIND
OUR NAME?
In addition to loving watches, Octane & Lock founder Steven Huntingford is a trained car designer and former motoring magazine road tester. So, when he started designing his own watches, they were always going to be influenced by cars.
This connection is reflected in our name, with ‘octane’ taken from the high-octane petrol used by performance and classic cars.
Meanwhile, ‘lock’ represents the thrill of driving; after all, few things are more fun than sliding a powerful rear-wheel-drive car round a bend and keeping the back end balanced with the help of some opposite lock.
If you have any questions about our watches, we’d love to hear from you. Just email watches@octaneandlock.com or message us on our social media channels.
