August Berg x Morris & Co.

An exclusive collaboration between a Danish watch brand and Morris & Co., the British Arts & Crafts house built on William Morris's designs. Morris & Co.'s studio worked with August Berg to pick out the most recognisable parts of its archive prints, such as the cheeky thrush of Strawberry Thief or the bold symmetry of Pimpernel, and rescale them for a watch dial.

Morris believed in having nothing at home that isn't useful or beautiful. The collaboration brings that idea to the wrist, and it fits August Berg's own philosophy of timefulness: design made to last.

The Gift of Time

Every August Berg watch is built around timefulness: appreciating the time we have and choosing how to spend it. Cases are surgical-grade stainless steel, dials sit under anti-reflective, scratch-resistant glass, and each watch runs on a Japanese quartz movement. It arrives in a reusable, FSC-certified bamboo box, and delivery is carbon neutral.

For every watch sold, August Berg gives a child 6 months of quality education through the Human Practice Foundation, a Danish non-profit, and with every 20,000 watches sold, builds a school.

  • Watch not working

    The watch is beautiful and arrived just for Christmas so that was great but doesn’t work unfortunately. I will bring it to a jeweller to see if a battery change can help but I’m disappointed.

  • perlon strap

    I'd give the Strawberry Thief (fennel) watch 5 stars if it weren't for the perlon strap, that came apart at the tip after only a few months. I ended up buying a new strap for it. Apart from that, a beautiful watch that keeps good time.

  • Truly Special Timepiece

    I purchased a beautiful Morris & Co. Collab Strawberry Thief watch & I am deeply impressed with the quality & detail of the watch. This is a piece I will treasure, & know I will pass it along to my children in the future, & they will be proud to wear it as well.

  • Morris & Co. Fennel Rose Gold Strawberry Thief | Green Perlon

    This watch was a combination Mother's Day and Birthday gift (May 12th) from my daughter. I picked it out and she bought it for me. It had caught my eye months ago but I had trouble deciding which one to buy. I like everything about it; the colours, design and fit.

  • Nice watch!

    So beautiful.
