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.

    Pros: watch is as it is advertised, great! Suggestion: Engraving is dull, can help if polished to shine like other lettering at the back of the watch. Cons: serious consideration is needed to improve overall efficiency in shipping, quality control and refunds. My order was not shipped until after 2 weeks. Watch battery was flat on arrival and the watch was dead. Eventually they addressed by appropriate refunds but this required several reminders and back and forth emails. This left me with angst and an unpleasant feeling.

  • Very good watch, 38mm is the perfect size for me (tall, male): looks elegant, easy to see the time but not clunky and low enough profile to not snag shirts, etc. Initially thought lack of hour numbers on the dial might be an issue for telling the time quickly, but in about 5 or so days I just got used to reading it at a glance and now it feels pretty natural. Not to mention, of course, the fantastiic design. Instant classic, highly recommend!

  • Still waiting for return authorization for these two watches

    Been trying to get permission sent to return these two watches. They are not at all what I expected. The idea is great but I find the execution lacking. Please refund my money and please take these watches back. I cannot use them. Thank you.
