WORKBENCH / 01 · DESIGNED AND ASSEMBLED IN KAINUU

From a battery change to an original watch brand

First, curiosity.
Then, a collection of our own.

One successful battery change led to repairing broken watches, studying during night shifts and eventually making original models. Jugbitten began in Kainuu with a small budget and an independent point of view.

Before you ask

Frequently
asked.

Where are Jugbitten watches made?

Jugbitten watches are designed in Finland. Every watch is assembled, finished and inspected individually in Kainuu.

Which watches are available?

The current °363 collection includes the °363 Kuro Cerakote 39 mm and the °363 Refined in 36 mm and 39 mm. Current prices and availability appear here and in the webshop.

Should I choose a 36 or 39 mm watch?

The 36 mm case is quieter and more compact. The 39 mm case has a little more presence. Wrist circumference is only part of the choice: compare lug-to-lug length and your own preference, too.

How long does delivery take?

Lead time depends on the model and the current workbench schedule. Always check the latest estimate on the webshop page for your chosen watch.

What does the warranty cover?

The two-year warranty covers manufacturing and assembly faults. Full terms are available in the webshop.

What does Jugbitten mean?

Jug-bitten is an old English euphemism for having had a few too many. The name is light-hearted. The watches are not.
