An experienced diver himself Greg understands the importance of great design and is passionate about his work and has over 24 years of experience in the watch industry.
"Being a diver I understand what I need in a dive watch, so I'm driven by a passion and an obsession to create my perfect dive watch and love watching it being made” "Over the last few years I've moved into design other styles of watches, from pilot to dress watches, but still adding the practicalities of a dive watch into them. I love the elegance of a dress watch, but in my view a watch also needs to be very practical for every day use. My design philosophy is time elegance, but daily wear practical"
Greg Bottle works closely with you throughout the design process and by carefully listening to your needs Greg is able to deliver a selection of conceptual watch designs to choose from that often exceed the expectations of his clients.
“I pride myself on exceeding my clients expectations, so far I have not failed to deliver”
“I want and expect my watch design creations to do very well and be highly successful for my clients, so I'm always willing to go above and beyond with additional creative marketing ideas, watch manuals and also offer website, advert, social media and other promotional services. My passion and involvement doesn’t stop when the watch design part is completed. I worked with Rick Marei and DOXA for over 16 years doing all their graphic and website design work, that kind of shows the committed and passion I have with a brand”.
“I love working with clients that I get on very well with and I can help grow and elevate their brand, it is where my creativity skills can be utilised the most. I almost crave this kind of challenge, so my skills are best suited for smaller watch brands and even micro brand start up companies that are looking to produce a well designed quality built watch and want to get to the next level.”

I have never worked with such a reliable and passionate designer as Greg.
Although the interaction with Greg is very personal, the work was always characterised by professionalism and complete reliability. When Greg agreed to do something, he not only delivered, he over-delivered.
Without Greg as a partner, we could never have achieved what we did. He immediately understood the design we had in mind and far exceeded our expectations. The design is sophisticated, timeless and unique.
This will not be the last time we will hire Greg to design our watches!"

I have enjoyed working with Greg on my last two projects. He is professional and meticulous in his work. He is very easy to chat to and our zoom meetings have been productive and creative. He listened to the brief given and was able to input feedback and additional ideas immediately. I found this very useful. He turned around the work much quicker than anticipated and I am very happy with the standard. Any changes required were carried out very quickly. I've been delighted with the projects and will definitely continue to work with Greg in future. He's a great guy!"

About Time Watches LLC
I recently been working on a collection of watches specifically designed for young boys with a smaller 36mm diameter.
I've enjoyed putting my 11 year old shoes on again to come up with some very unique watches.
But hey, I'm still a boy at heart, hence I design watches ;-)
The watches will be water resistant to 10ATM and very robust to take the abuse and hard life a kids can put on such and item.
They'll also be limited editions and very unique, so collectors pieces in their own right.

Heinrich
HEINRICH watches is based in southwest Germany within the state of Baden-Württemberg.
Wolfgang and myself wanted to not only create the famously practical German made quality dive tool watch,
but also add that design chic and elegance that's matches the iconic Swiss made watches,
while also drawing inspiration from those beautiful 70's divers, which we are both fans of.
I think we have achieved this with this new watch collection, it looks fabulous!
This is a watch I've always wanted to create, Wolfgang gave me that opportunity.
The dive watch that is as elegant as it is sporty.
"I kind of think this is the watch James Bond should have worn, now where's my tuxedo and Walther PPK."
German precision quality and build, Swiss movement at its heart, English design flair.
This watch will become a must have watch in any watch collectors collection.

I've also been working on lots of new watch designs for Wolfgang, which we should launch in 2023.
Hadley Rille
Hadley Rille Limited is based in United Sate of America.
The watch collection will Swiss made.
This design concept was a chance for me to design a new watch that could become as iconic as the Rolex Submariner design.
This was another watch design I'd always wanted to make, and if the production watch comes out as I hope it could well become a future iconic watch design that every watch collector will want in their watch collection.
Watch design will be revealed late 2023 once collection is in production.

DOXA SUB 300 T-GRAPH
10 Year Anniversary Edition [2011]
The SUB 300 T-GRAPH Anniversary model’s design was based on one of my original design ideas I created in 2005
for a new SUB I wanted DOXA to make. The released edition in 2011 was altered slightly from my original designs,
with different bezel layout, slightly different sub dials and different second hand.

Evolution of the DOXA SUB
|
In late 2006 Greg was asked by DOXA to come up with a new design for what was then going to be the "Conquistador", DOXA's flag ship watch. The SUB 5000T was launched in 2007 and became DOXA's most successful SUB selling all 5000 limited edition in only a few years.
The Seaconqueror is probably the most sort after SUB on the second hand market today. They rarely come up for sale. |

AQUASTAR
CONCEPTUAL DESIGN IDEAS
The Aquastar Benthos is a watch I've always want to remake.
The concept of how it functions makes it a great dive tool.
These design ideas are my homage to a new concept design version, one of which I'd love to see built.
