About me
My name is Ivan and I'm a bench jeweler with 15 years of experience. Mastered every aspect of the job - from alloying and forging to micro pave setting.
From 2017 I have been apprenticing engraving. Worked on jewellery, knives, watches and guns. I have been mentored by maybe the greatest knifemaker and engraver in the world today. Visited and exhibited at multiple knife and jewelry exhibitions in EU and in US.
The watchmaking journey began as soon as I sat on the bench. First it was tinkering with my own collected watches, then servicing, repairing and customizing customers' timepieces.
Launching my own watch brand was the next step of my learning curve and advancing my skills. In my offerings you will find my love for intricate details, sculptural engraving, stone setting, fine mechanics and maybe one day - delicate automatons.
All work is done by me in my studio in central Bulgaria - Thrace valley. Land of rebels, like Spartacus, but also artists like Orpheus.
You can clearly see my affection for ancient history, gods, heroes and mythology. Big part of my works will be bound to those themes - it's an endless inspiration and with every timepiece I create, I hope I am retelling the stories.
