Every detail of the watch has been carefully considered, with specifications designed for both precision and durability.

At Helicon, we believe in more than just making watches.

We believe in mak ing progress — in design, in storytelling, and in rebuilding something t hat Britain once excelled at: innovation through craftsmanship. That’s why our newest watch, inspired by the visionary (but never built) British space shuttle Project MUSTARD, is not just a product — it's a statement of intent.

Made with purpose and built to inspire, the professional chronograph will be our first model to go through a complete UK-based design, development, assembly and testing process.
