Kia Styles says: Watches aren’t just about seconds ticking by. They’re about presence. About style. About saying this is who I am without uttering a word. For too long, the world of timepieces was dominated by the same old names — but Black founders are changing that, bringing fresh design, community pride, and affordable luxury straight to your wrist.
Here’s who’s making moves:
|
SPGBK – Street Cool, Wallet-Friendly
Bold colors. Quartz precision. $70–$90 price points. SPGBK proves you don’t need a fat paycheck to flex real style. These are watches that look as good with sneakers as they do with a blazer.
|
Asorock – Premium Edge Without the Pain
Think dressier vibes at still-accessible prices. The Monolith Silver/White is a standout for men who like a clean, sharp silhouette. Luxury look, real-world budget.
|
Talley & Twine – Sophistication That’s Worth the Wait
Premium materials, bold design, and deals if you know where to look. A chronograph that retails above $200 can sometimes be found for nearly half. Patience is the accessory.
|
Vitae London – Every Purchase With Purpose
Founded by William Adoasi, Vitae London keeps it sleek and minimalist — while funding school uniforms for kids in Sub-Saharan Africa. Wear one, and you’re part of something bigger.

From leather classics to metallic risks, Verdure blends versatility with polish. Think “ready for the office, but still weekend-cool.”
|
|
With real wood elements and inspiration from Benjamin Banneker himself, these timepieces carry history as much as design. A statement piece in every sense.
|
Kia’s Take
Luxury is no longer defined by gatekeepers. It’s defined by community, creativity, and access. These Black-owned watch brands aren’t just keeping time — they’re keeping culture.
