William Wood Watches

William Wood Watches are not just another watch brand, they are a lifestyle of a different kind. William Wood Watches is inspired by our founder's grandfather, William Wood. William served in the British Fire Service for over 25 years winning commendations for his acts of bravery. He was stationed at Pilgrim Street for the Newcastle & Gateshead Fire Brigade on the Blue Watch. He passed away in 2009 but his legacy lives on in our watches.

William Wood was without doubt a hero and incredible man. On 29th June 1966 he and 3 fellow firefighters saved 5 small children aged between 5 and 1 from a severe house fire. They were all awarded with a Certificate of Merit for their courage and bravery which was the first Certificate to ever be awarded in the history of the Newcastle & Gateshead Fire Brigade.

Our Founder Jonny looked up to his grandfather as a charismatic, loving and strong character. He knew that building his lifelong career around him would get him out of bed every morning ready to take on the world. Each watch we make has his grandfather's legacy beating through each component and is a tribute to all firefighters past or present who are our everyday heroes.

Our iconic logo represents the side profile of a 1920's British firefighter's helmet. It signifies heroism and bravery and we are proud to have it located on our watch dials and crowns for the world to see and appreciate.
