About us.
Est. 2020, with lifetimes of passion.
Abraham Bull was established on the Isle of Wight in the United Kingdom by Claire Abraham Bull, Simon Bull and James Bull in 2020 — with a vision to make handcrafted, ultra-limited individually numbered timepieces, and to make every timepiece by using the ‘one pair of hands’ ethos, where the craftsmanship and dedication of a single Master Watchmaker crafts and assembles each part. Creating a palpable originality that can be felt only when you wear an Abraham Bull timepiece.
Simon Bull — Founder & Master Watchmaker.
Each of our timepieces is handcrafted by Simon Bull, our Master Watchmaker. Simon was born and lives on the Isle of Wight and has over 23 years experience as a Horologist. Simon had a desire to make his mark on the watch industry, and so Abraham Bull was born to bring life to each and every one of our timepieces. The Vectis timepiece has become a very personal and creative expression of Simon’s experience, skill and passion.
