For more than two decades, Espiral do Tempo has been a means of sharing and promoting watchmaking culture. In fact, for Espiral do Tempo, the world of watchmaking is a gateway to other worlds. We speak of the beautiful, the inspiring and the excellent; of technique and design. We're talking watches, people, trends, stories and more. This way of looking at watchmaking comes to life through a magazine, a website and meetings with enthusiasts and collectors. In addition to being a reference, the Espiral do Tempo project is a meeting point for those who love watches, but also a starting point for new perspectives. Because clocks, people and time always have a lot to tell.
