From a Childhood Passion to Elysese Custom Watches.

My love for watches began as a child during a vacation in Greece. I discovered a watch brand that allowed you to swap straps and change case colors, creating combinations with patterns and colors. That moment sparked my fascination—not just for watches, but for customization itself.

During my studies in Creative Business at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, I started making my own watches. What began as an experiment quickly evolved into a pursuit of craftsmanship and design. Over time, I taught myself traditional printing techniques, working with manual machines and Swiss watch ink to refine my expertise. This allowed me to create increasingly unique timepieces, each tailored to its wearer’s vision.

Now, I’ve reached the point where I can craft memorial watches that go beyond personalization. By continuously refining my techniques and pushing the boundaries of customization, I reached a point where I can incorporate the ashes of a loved one into the ink of a custom-designed dial—creating one of the most personal and meaningful timepieces possible.

Elysese was founded on the belief that a watch is more than an accessory. It tells a story, marks a milestone, and reflects the wearer’s identity. No mass production—only exclusive, one-of-a-kind pieces designed entirely to the client’s wishes. From custom-printed dials to engraved movements, every detail is executed with precision and care.

At the heart of Elysese is my passion for creating timepieces that not only tell a story but also build an emotional bond with the wearer. Each watch becomes a reflection of the customer’s journey, offering a sense of uniqueness that goes beyond a mere accessory. It is not just a watch; it is their personal story, captured in time.

Elysese offers an alternative to standard watches—for those seeking something truly unique.

Thank you for being a part of our story.
