‍Bradley Taylor's journey in watchmaking began in the quiet, historic watchmaking town of Le Locle, Switzerland. After passing his bench test he enrolled at the Korpela & Hofs Watchmaking Competence Centre, under the mentorship of Henrik Korpela. Bradley completed his watchmaking diploma in 2015, immersing himself in the 4500 hour program developing a clear love of micromachining and traditional watchmaking.

After many late evenings at school, he designed and completed his prototype movement for his school watch before packing up his tools and heading back to Canada.

2015 After graduating, Bradley worked in after-sales service, completing various manufacturer certifications along the way – including Patek Philippe's Level II training in Geneva. This period gave him a thorough grounding in the servicing and restoration of high-end and vintage timepieces.

‍2017 Together with a former watchmaking school classmate, he co-founded Birchall & Taylor, where they introduced their initial creations, the Reference 1 and 1R models. The two forged relationships with some of the best companies in the industry to bring these watches to life, like Donzé Cadrans (enamel dials) and Vaucher SA (movement manufacturer).

2020 A move west to Vancouver and a new workshop, where he would introduce his first series working with the world-class dialmaker Comblémine. The Paragon was an elegant three-handed timepiece featuring hand-polished purple hands.

2022 The Lutria, a two-handed timepiece adorned with guilloché patterns reflecting the coastal character of his newfound home on the West Coast.

2023 A new workshop in North Vancouver, along with months spent restoring his own rose engine to do guilloché work himself.

2026 Taylor's first watch with a fully in-house movement and dial. Calibre 475RS features a retrograde seconds complication of his own design, a solid gold gear train, and a depletion gilded silver guilloché dial. The applied numerals are machined from solid platinum, believed to be a first in watchmaking. In early 2026, Taylor was also awarded the Horological Society of New York's Independent Watchmaker Grant.

Bradley views watches as emotional objects first. He is deeply committed to function and technical performance, but prioritises beauty and design above all. He is drawn to the challenge of creating something where there is no objectively correct answer – only the response it provokes.
