ABOUT US
Tempus Tailor began in September 2025 with the idea of creating a mechanical watch brand that offers exclusivity while keeping high-quality automatic watches accessible. Our goal is to let anyone build a collection of premium watches, no matter where they are in life. Whether you are a graduating student or an entrepreneur who just closed a nine-figure deal, we believe every achievement deserves to be celebrated, and every collection should include Tempus Tailor.
Tempus Tailor is based in Montreal, Canada, combining quality, individuality, and a modern approach to watchmaking. Our motto, “More than a watch. More than a brand. It’s a movement.”, represents what we want Tempus Tailor to become. “Movement” refers to the automatic movements inside our watches and to our goal of creating a movement within the watchmaking industry, bringing people together through watches, achievements, and a shared appreciation for what makes each person unique.
CRAFTSMANSHIP & MATERIALS
At Tempus Tailor, every watch starts with an idea. Each project is fully conceptualized and designed in Montreal, Canada, with attention to detail and a focus on timeless watches.
Our watches use carefully selected materials, including stainless steel, leather, and other quality metals, with automatic movements for reliable mechanical performance that stays true to traditional watchmaking. From the case and dial to the strap and finishing details, every element is selected to create a watch made to be appreciated and worn for years.
The experience goes beyond the watch itself: every Tempus Tailor watch comes with high-quality gift packaging, making each piece feel special from the moment it is received.
FROM MONTREAL TO THE WORLD
Tempus Tailor was founded in Montreal, Canada, a city at the heart of everything we do. From the start, we wanted to create a watch brand that represents where I come from and brings a piece of the mechanical watch world to Montreal. Every Tempus Tailor watch starts here: the designs, concepts, ideas, and overall vision are fully conceptualized and designed in Montreal before making their way to the rest of the world. Montreal is not just where Tempus Tailor was founded; it is where the brand’s identity comes from.
Montreal has always had its own character, creativity, fashion, and culture, and I want Tempus Tailor to be a part of that. One of our biggest goals is to introduce more people in Montreal to automatic and mechanical watches and show them that you do not have to be an expert to appreciate a beautiful mechanical timepiece. At the same time, we want to take that Montreal identity beyond our city, eventually around Canada and the world. We aspire to become one of the faces of automatic watches in Montreal and, one day, across Canada, while staying rooted here. No matter how far Tempus Tailor goes, Montreal will always be where it started.
I am Alessandro Balti, the owner, designer, and currently the main and only ambassador of Tempus Tailor. I started this project at 19 years old in 2025 and officially launched Tempus Tailor in October 2026. I have always been highly inspired by the watchmakers, brands, and community that make up the watch industry, and I have always wanted to be a part of it. My goal is to one day leave an impact on the industry and create a movement, just as our slogan says: “More than a watch. More than a brand. It’s a movement.” I want to build a brand that allows anyone to own and appreciate an automatic watch, while still offering the exclusive look and premium feel of the major houses in the industry.
