Gran Lavoratrice | Custom Asset

Defining the Next Chapter of Homemade Watch Company

Say hello to Homemade’s flagship timepiece, the Gran Lavoratrice (GL), at the intersection of where Fashion meets Function. Translating from Italian to "Hard Worker," the redesigned GL is the evolution of two signature timepieces that founded and defined the Homemade Watch Company.

Our Custom Asset offering elevates self-expression to an art form, whether you're selecting a specific movement or diving into in-depth customizations like unique dial colors and bespoke premium bands.

The GL is our definitive, high-quality interpretation of the classic field watch: a no-frills instrument built for those who demand functional elegance and a distinct identity. Wear it as a constant reminder to “trust the process” in every task you undertake.

Key Features:

• In-House Enameled Dial: The GL features a solid brass dial that is torch-enameled in-house. This specialized finishing process provides a depth and intrigue rarely found at this price point.

• Unique Character: Because of this finishing method, no two pieces are identical.

• Durable Housing: Each case is pressure-tested in-house to 5 BAR, made of robust 316L stainless steel or solid bronze, and protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.

• Premium Local Band: Perfectly paired with a premium, handmade (and homemade) leather band crafted by Mike at Swing Bridge Leather Works, right here in Connecticut, USA.

• Everyday Versatility: The GL was designed to be the only watch you need, transitioning effortlessly between outfits and occasions.

• “Workhorse” Movement: Powered by your choice of the world-renowned Swiss-Made Sellita SW-200-1 or Japan-made NH35 automatic movement—both are reliable, high-performance calibers chosen for their robust dependability.

• Designed and Hand-Built in Rhode Island. Be sure to check out the gallery to view photos of past Custom Asset projects!
