ABOUT

THE MASTER OF CRAFT

The history of ROYTER watches and how it all started

WHAT SETS US APART


With a maximum of just 45 pieces produced each year, Dan personally finishes, assembles, and tests every individual watch in his NYC atelier. This limited annual production enables him to maintain impeccable attention to detail. The concept of small runs, along with his complete involvement from start to finish, allows ROYTER to exercise total control over craftsmanship, quality, and customer service. 

STORY OF ROYTER

ROYTER is a young, independent watch brand founded by a self-taught New York-based watchmaker, Dan ROYTER.

Dan was inspired by the story and legacy of his great-grandmother, Blyuma Royer. Born in a small Ukrainian village in 1907, Blyuma was known for her hard work, big heart, and commitment to her family. Despite facing numerous challenges, including surviving the Holocaust, she maintained her strength and determination to provide a brighter future for her loved ones.

As a watchmaker, Dan strives to create timepieces that carry a deeper meaning and connection to his family's legacy.

With every watch that he crafts, Dan ensures that each one is not just a functional tool for keeping time, but also a symbol of his great-grandmother's unwavering spirit. He puts his heart and soul into each creation, infusing it with a level of personal touch and attention to detail that truly sets it apart. From the intricate details to the precision in craftsmanship, every ROYTER watch represents the family values and traditions that have been passed down and will continue to be passed down for generations. Just as Blyuma's tireless work ethic and devotion to her family made her a constant source of inspiration, Dan's watches will continue to be a tribute to her legacy, inspiring future generations to strive for the same level of hard work and determination. Each timepiece is a true work of art, crafted with love and care, and serves as a reminder of the family's rich heritage and history.

BESPOKE WATCHMAKING

Each timepiece features numerous customizations tailored to the client's requests, ensuring that every watch possesses its own unique character and individuality. For ROYTER, crafting bespoke watches is a way to share his vision with those who appreciate the true art of watchmaking and share Dan's passion beyond mere brand affiliation. His creations embody genuine dedication, unwavering patience, and meticulous refinement in every detail. They redefine the essence and traditional standards of high-quality watchmaking. ROYTER Watches philosophy is to deliver exceptional, hand-finished timepieces that reflect each client's unique character and soul.
