What first sparked your journey into watchmaking?

I woke up one morning with the clear idea of creating a watch for explorers. It was almost like the concept had been waiting for me to notice it. I’ve always been fascinated by precision instruments watches, compasses, altimeters, speedometers not just for their functionality, but for their ability to tell a story of human adventure. They’re tools that have guided people across oceans, over mountains, and through unknown lands. That morning, I decided I wanted to design something that could be both a companion and a piece of equipment for modern-day explorers. At first, it was just a personal challenge  I wanted to craft one for myself. But the deeper I got into research, materials, and mechanics, the more I realized this could become something bigger: a watch that blends rugged durability with timeless design, built for those who live to push boundaries.

Can you share the story behind the Venturian brand and its name?

Venturian means “one who ventures,” and from the moment the name came to me, I knew it perfectly captured the spirit I wanted the brand to embody. For me, creating a brand has never just been about making a product it’s about standing for something meaningful and aspirational. Venturian exists to enrich lives through exploration, both outward and inward.

When you step into nature, away from the constant noise and distraction of modern life, you can feel truly connected to the world in its purest form. Out there, it’s just you, the terrain, and the elements. In those moments, we begin to ask ourselves deeper questions: Who am I? What do I have to offer the world?

I also believe there’s incredible value in challenging yourself, physically and mentally. Pushing beyond your comfort zone builds strength, resilience, and independence. And when that happens, you return not only as a more capable adventurer, but as a more grounded and self-assured person. That philosophy is at the heart of every Venturian watch tools for those who venture, designed to accompany you on the journey of becoming the strongest, truest version of yourself.

What drew you to use titanium for your cases instead of other materials?

I grew up mountain biking and it had a huge impact on the industry. I didn't see much of that being utilized and it was a natural fit for an outdoors brand. Venturian isn't trying to follow the other watch brands where they all look the same. We set out to be different from the start.

Your watches come with NATO straps  why choose this over the more trend-driven rubber straps?

Functionality and aesthetic. If your rubber strap snaps off in the outdoors your watch is gone forever. If you blow a spring-bar with a single pass-through NATO your watch is still on your wrist. Lastly, it has a classic, rugged aesthetic for adventure style.

You’ve opted for solar movements, which are often more expensive. What inspired this choice?

Functionality. This movement is hard-working and a standout within the watch community for its reliability. As a primarily weekend watch it can charge itself outdoors something an outdoors person can rely on. It charges naturally from the sun or from indoor light. 

In your view, what makes Venturian the perfect watch for adventure and watch enthusiasts?

Venturian is built first and foremost as gear not as a luxury statement or a fashion accessory. It’s a tool, plain and simple. In the same way you rely on your multi-tool, your everyday carry gear, or your favorite knife, a Venturian watch is meant to be something you trust in the field, no matter where that field happens to be.

Every component is designed with purpose from the materials that can withstand extreme environments to the precision movements that perform under pressure. It’s built to handle the mud, the rain, the cold, and the heat, while still delivering the accuracy and dependability that watch enthusiasts appreciate.

For adventure seekers, it’s a companion that won’t quit. For watch lovers, it’s a rugged piece of precision engineering that doesn’t compromise on craftsmanship. To me, that combination  durability, utility, and mechanical integrity is what makes a Venturian more than just a watch. It’s a piece of essential gear for those who venture.

What’s next for Venturian any upcoming models or projects you can hint at?

We're working on a few models that are classic and that make sense for us. A tachy, a dive watch, and a pilot.

In which countries are Venturian watches currently available?

We're in most countries worldwide.

Who do you see as the ideal Venturian customer?

Our ideal customer is an outdoors person who is looking for a unique tool that is lightweight, stylish, and affordable.
