Time, embroidered

A dial embroidered, not printed

Every CORNELY dial is stitched in the chenille technique that is Ercigoj's signature. The hands are shaped like the chenille needle itself, the tool that makes the stitch possible.

Underneath, a Sellita SW 200-1b movement, top-grade and decorated. Fifty watches, each one numbered.

Proof, in thread

The hands that stitched a Van Gogh

Before the dial, the same needle reproduced Monet, Van Gogh and Michelangelo in thread, work called "unique and innovative on a world scale." A single mural holds more than 15 million stitches.

1923, Ljubljana. Five generations, one house, now on a watch dial.

Questions

Frequently asked

How long until I receive it?

Each CORNELY is embroidered to order in our Ljubljana studio. Production takes 6–8 weeks from order confirmation to delivery.

How do I pay?

A 500 € deposit secures your order today, paid by card via Stripe. It is fully refundable until production begins. The remaining 2.000 € is due once we start embroidering your dial, settled directly with the studio.

Can I choose the dial colour?

Yes. Choose from our palette, or request the full range; each dial is stitched to match.

What happens once all 50 are sold?

CORNELY is a numbered edition of 50, each rotor laser-engraved with its number. Once fifty are sold, no more are made.

How is the dial actually made?

The chenille stitch itself is embroidered by machine. Every motif is prepared and calibrated by hand in the studio first, then the dial is centred and set by hand before it goes into a case.

What's covered under warranty, and how does it ship?

Every watch carries a 2-year international warranty and ships worldwide, in a protective hardwood box.

What about customs or import duties outside the EU?

Ercigoj ships from Ljubljana, Slovenia, inside the EU. For deliveries outside the EU, any customs duties or import taxes are set by the destination country and are the customer's responsibility, collected by the courier on delivery.

Will Ercigoj still be around to service this watch years from now?

Ercigoj has operated continuously since 1923 and is now in its fifth generation, the same Ljubljana house behind every CORNELY dial.

JACKART

JACKART is being stitched, quietly, in the same studio as CORNELY. Its case is cushion-shaped, not round. We will show the rest when it is ready to be seen.
