We are Hoffbern Zeitmesser - an Australian startup founded by a small team of designers with roots in Germany.
Since 2019 we are passionately designing minimalist timepieces featuring timeless Bauhaus designs, the highest aesthetics, and the finest quality in every aspect. Our first four timepieces (Legacy, Reinheit, Carbon Chronograph, and Solaris Chronograph) are now production-ready, as we have fully working samples built and tested industriously.
Our first four timepieces are classified into two segments. Legacy and Reinheit are included in our Essential Series consisting of simple everyday timepieces, while Carbon and Solaris are part of our Chronos Series, featuring advanced Chronograph timepieces.
THE PRODUCTION
We have directly partnered with multiple production facilities to manufacture quality materials that meet the best industry standards, and we ensure durability and versatility in everything we source. We have a dedicated team of veteran technicians to help us carefully assemble the timepieces in our studio near Melbourne, Australia.
THE VISION
Our vision for Höffbern is to elevate the brand to a successful business and create timepieces loved by everyone. We are a small team of designers, and we are comfortable remaining as a small organisation where we believe we can better focus on our original designs, unbiased ideas, freedom of thought, limitless innovations, and improved product quality.
THE LAUNCH
We secured local investment even though it was lower than our Kickstarter goal, which led us to pause the campaign mid-way. This backing allowed us to launch on a smaller but more stable foundation.
We have successfully delivered our first collection of four watches to our early supporters and customers. We are now preparing the next production batch, which is expected to be completed by the end of Q1 2026. Stay tuned—limited quantities will be available soon!
