mechanical watches built for you
In 2016, I set out to create an independent watch brand that offered the same quality, durability and features as much more established brands, but with a uniqueness and style only found in DuFrane pieces. Not only do I design every model, but I also perform all assembly, timing, testing and even warranty work here in my Austin workshop. I really appreciate you taking a look!
Want to know why I name the pieces after Austin landmarks and historical figures? Or why the brand is named DuFrane? Read the story here.

My Austin Workshop
An heirloom Dress watch
Classic Is Forever
The Sellita SW200-1 Swiss automatic mechanical movement makes for an extremely reliable watch, as well as a very slim design (10.6mm thin). I use the elaboré grade caliber, to ensure quality and accuracy.
Thermal blued hands, genuine sapphire flat crystal with 6 layers of anti-reflective coating, highly polished stepped bezel, and a unique linen textured dial all make for a truly special piece.
Barton Springs III Dive Watch
Each one hand assembled by me
Available with or without a date window, and shipping with a super comfortable 5-link, solid end link bracelet and a FKM (Fluorine Kautschuk Material) rubber strap. Each piece is assembled, timed and tested here in my Austin shop.
Did I mention the Swiss Ronda R150 or Swiss Sellita SW200-1 automatic mechanical movements? These are awesome movements that have been used in many of my models for years now. I hope you enjoy the Barton Springs III as much as I love building them!
