House of Reigi

Built like
a dojo.

We are building Reigi the way a dojo is built: slowly, and in the right order. This is the house behind the watches — who builds them, why we choose the hard way, how the work is done, and what has been said about it.

The house

Today, every Reigi is built by the founder’s own hands. The ambition is larger: to grow this bench into a true Finnish house of watchmaking — without ever giving up the closeness that makes a Reigi a Reigi.

Finland has no watchmaking industry to lean on. Either the work stands on its own, or it doesn’t.

The name over the door

Rei. Gi.

Reigi (礼儀) means etiquette — the respect that opens every practice in the dojo. Rei is respect. Gi is integrity. Two of the seven virtues of bushidō, tied into a bow of silver on every strap.
