Lovely unique watch, came in nice packaging with a nice note from founders.
I have been delving into my family history more and finding out my lineage traces back to Scotland inspired my watch purchase. I love how customizable it was, and able to add my last name and the Scottish clan motto to it. The leather is stiff and the tartan stitching is well done. The watch itself is simple and elegant and is a terrific piece of Scottish tradition and culture right on my wrist.
Great company, was a little bit of an ordeal at first as I was unable to work out the information they needed, but with their help got their in the end. Website is good, but needs a tad more clarity about what info on Apple Watches are needed. Especiallly when you are buying it as a gift so don't have the actual apple watch. But none the less, they helped and we got there. The strap is beautiful, well made and very smartly presented. Would certainly use them again and its great to support a growing business. Good customer support is so crucial and they provided that along with a quality product.

We were delighted with the watch we purchased for our son. Beautiful piece and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a special gift. We were kept up to date with the progress and totally understand any delays as it is a small family business.
Love the quality of the watch. It’s a really well-done with the personalized tartan wristband. Thinking of buying more for other family members as Christmas presents!
The watch is extraordinarily pretty! I love that it comes from the Highlands of home. It arrived when expected. The web site was easy to understand and the watch is exactly what it was advertised to be.
I ordered a watch for my Dad's 80th birthday. WOW!!! Absolutely beautiful. I was a bit worried it wouldn't arrive on time but after contacting MacKinnon Watches they made sure it did. They kept me updated on my orders progress. The quality of the watch and the beautiful packaging is 1st class. The customer service I received is the best I have ever experienced. I will be telling all my family and friends about this incredible company. My Mum has already hinted that she would love one of their watches too. THANKS SO MUCH AGAIN.♥️♥️
I have purchased four of your watches and the quality and workmanship is top notch The bands are of the highest quality simply put I love these watches and look forward to future purchases My best John OBrien
Beautifully crafted watch, expert details combined with lovely packaging make this an outstanding watch to give as a special gift or keep for yourself. The ability to find your clan tartan was easy and the fabric and leather band make for an exquisite timepiece. So pleased with my purchase.
I love my MacKinnon watch! I have received many compliments on my watch. Would highly recommend this brand. Will definitely purchase another as a gift!
The ordering process was smooth and the time to delivery was acceptable given this item was hand-made by weavers. The appearance of the watch is great however, it was much larger than I anticipated. I will have to have another hole, or two, to make it fit my wrist. My only con is that I wish that this watch came in a lady's size. I may give it to my grandson.
A bit disappointed that the red stripe in the Elliot tartin is orange.
MacKinnon Watches is a family run business and being honest they are not a Patek Philipe. You wear a Patek Philippe to display the watch’s heritage. But you wear a MacKinnon Watch to display your family heritage. The watches are quartz movements and reliable time pieces. The face design is clean and elegant, not distracting from their custom made wrist bands but supporting their look and style. The company’s customer service is outstanding! We had a large order for a wedding that included making tartan wrist bands for numerous family/clan, county/district, and military tartans. This included a personal family tartan that they were able to get a fabric mill to reproduce. All watches were engraved, and all wrist bands had leather backing that were embossed as well. The MacKinnon Watch family’s customer service is impeccable.
Chatted with company before I ordered as this was for a special present that I wanted to get spot on. They were very friendly and helpful. Item came within the 3 - 5 weeks and was beautifully presented.
My watch band was shipped very quickly and the communication after my order was placed was excellent. Moreover, the product quality is fantastic!
I ordered a watch for my husband for our 20-year wedding anniversary. When it came, firstly it was beautifully gift-wrapped, and the watch was just stunning. The Gordon Dress Tartan leather backed band set the face off just lovely, and I loved how our wedding date was stamped on the inside. Plus, the engraving on the back was the icing on the cake. It was everything I'd hoped it would be. My husband absolutely loved it. It also arrived just in time for our special day, which I was really happy about. Thank you, MacKinnon, for making our day memorable.
