Glasgow Distillery
A celebration of Glasgow's artisanship and industrial legacy
Tuesday 28th November 2023We have joined forces with local watch specialist, FIODH, to produce the city's first Glasgow Whisky Watch.
Transforming oak staves that have been previously used to mature our single malt scotch whisky, Glasgow 1770, the Glasgow Whisky Watch has been designed and assembled by FIODH in Glasgow's East End.
Championing local talent lies at the heart of our Glasgow Distillery brand and FIODH's ethos seamlessly aligns with our hands-on approach and commitment to honouring authenticity, transparency, and creating premium products that celebrate Glasgow’s industrial legacy. These watches not only embody superior craftsmanship but also serve as a tribute to Glasgow's rich history of producing quality goods.
Each watch has been handcrafted from selected whisky oak staves, that are shaved down to size, laser engraved, and finished with a Scottish leather strap that is hand-stitched and assembled in FIODH's Glasgow studio.

Swiss Ronga 762
Mineral glass with black trim
42mm Glasgow Distillery Whisky cask case
11mm Watch height

Stainless steel backcase

Michael Youmans, founder of FIODH, commented:
“We have been creating premium watches since 2018, having worked with whisky brands from all over Scotland. It’s great to finally collaborate with a fellow Glaswegian brand on the first ever Glasgow whisky watch.
"Working with The Glasgow Distillery enabled the production of a thoroughly Glaswegian product, meaning the wearer can bring a piece of the city’s heritage with them wherever they go."
An initial limited run have been produced, available in natural oak or in black stain, retailing at £225 and available today from our website and from our Glasgow city centre Princes Square shop.
