‍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 the venerable 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. 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 timepieces.

‍2017 Bradley and his former watchmaking school classmate 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 Bradley moved west to Vancouver, and set up 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 Bradley unveiled the Lutria, a two-handed timepiece adorned with guilloché patterns reflecting the coastal character of his newfound home on the West Coast.

2023 Bradley established a new workshop in North Vancouver.

2026 TBA

Bradley views watches as emotional objects first. He is obsessive about function and technical performance, but prioritizes 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.
