OUR STORY
It's really simple. We started Centric out of love.
For three guys whose friends, families, and fiancées live on the other side of the globe, timing is everything. Also Skymiles. But since building our own private jet was too easy a task, we put our heads together to design a watch — one that would keep us not just on-task and on-schedule, but refreshed and recharged throughout the day. Centered. Our goal is to arm watch nerds and casual wrists alike with an exceptionally accurate, solar-powered timepiece, one to nudge us to step outside for a breather and connect with the world, whose quality construction and costs are fully transparent to everyone. In a world of cubicles, email, and deceptive retail markups, we believe more than ever that sunlight is the best disinfectant. Michael & Anthony Co-Founders |

Centric
Improved productivity and efficiency through balanced time management. Time management in this sense doesnt mean multitasking better, but more like cutting out nonessential activities to more spend time on things that add value to life. (check out Essentialism by McKeown)
China Factory
SF Designed
(Is it?) World’s First Solar Watch (vs. MVMT)
The Sun Never Sets on Centric
Outdoors — Recharge your batteries — and the watch
Essentialism > Minimalism in lifestyle and product
Timepiece // Timepeace
Solar > Movement // rest > speed
The sun is an eternal symbol of truth. Light. Life. Always present. Immutable. Like Time.
I like the idea of a video that plays up the time lapse photography and also the long take, at rest, moment of rest.
The story though of Michael Belen, as a watch designer whose first work is a bestseller on Huckberry, a mil-spec watch sub $250, featured on Business Insider, AskMen, Art of Manliness, etc.
Shedding light on your life — wellness in mind and body — and also on sales. Retail markups and middlemen pull the wool over people’s eyes, and fleece them of their hard-earned dollars for watches that vary in quality and warranties.
Sun is the best disinfectant, and Centric aims to arm people with a better, more honest experience. For Centric, our costs are $50 and we sell at $150 to pay our builders, Kickstarter, returns and shipping, and ensure we have enough to continue growing.
The three co-founders, Anthony, Michael, and Jon have family and friends across the globe — The Philippines, Hong Kong, Philadelphia and Chile. For us, timing is everything and working with talented people across the globe takes constant energy.
What’s Centric’s return policy? We need a good one.
Free Shipping on all Centric orders, and easy, free returns. 2 Year Manufacturer’s warranty.
