About Aera: Crafting Timepieces with Purpose

A good watch is about far more than simply telling time – it’s about integrity, authenticity and design that lasts. These are the three pillars on which Aera was founded.

Iconic watch design depends on rigorous functionality, elevated engineering and great style. And in an increasingly crowded market, a good watch must have its own point of view. It was with this in mind that Aera’s co-founders, watch industry veterans Jas Minhas and Olof Larsson, launched their brand in 2022. The duo decided that it would focus its efforts on creating a new range of Swiss-made mechanical watches that are both enduringly useful and contemporary in appearance.
