Paceracer Watch Company

My partner and I commissioned two watches from PaceRacer (one each). Words can't describe how much we both love our beautiful watches, and can't thank Brett enough for the energy and passion he put into our watch design and manufacturing. Thank you so much. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a New Zealand designed and crafted timepiece

I purchased one of the first run of Sangfroids 3 years ago. I have worn it all over the world, in my travels, skateboarding, painting murals and even trekked up to Everest Basecamp and this watch is unstoppable! It still looks immaculate on my wrist and cant speak highly enough about it. Thank you Brett, your craftsmanship is definitively impeccable!

I've worn a few watches over my life so I have a good idea of what I want out of one. I messaged Brett at Paceracer and asked, 'do you make waterproof watches?' His repsonse was, 'we can make anything you want'.. And it flowed from there..! It was a really enjoyable process to go through, from seeing the mood board he made for my concept to then seeing his sketches, and working through details form there.I have something on my wrist I never take off, from building homes to rugged areas of the West Coast mountain sides. It's a nice sized watch and it looks so damn fine, too! If I ever take it off I can look at the back and there's a kowhai flower engraved in it, that holds a special place in my memories. From the front to the back and the sides, it's an absolute stunner!! Thanks Brett, and Paceracer.Jimmy Jangs

I absolutely adore my Paceracer watch. My partner gifted me 'The Pianist' for my 30th birthday and I wear it everyday. Its the perfect size for my wrist, it looks slim and elegant which I really like. I love that it is NZ made and has customised details just for me! Thank you so much Brett, it is a piece I will truly treasure.

In June this year, Southwell School's (Hamilton) new Alumni Sports Pavilion was opened. The Pavilion is a place where students, staff and teams can come together through sport and build relationships.NZ made and customised with our School logo, Brett Band from Paceracer created and installed our 70cm, waterproof, outdoor clock which sits proudly overlooking our main playing fields.Our Headmaster was seeking an authentic, traditional clock which would enhance the Pavilion. Brett worked with us through the design phase, using his expertise and we are delighted with the end result.Janet ReddishHeadmaster's EASouthwell School

Who doesn't want an heirloom watch ? Brett at Paceracer has enabled me to begin the story of an heirloom watch. Meeting, planning the design, material selection with Brett the watchmaker is part of that story.It's exquisite.As it ages and the patina develops - the story grows.George

I'd been looking at getting a Paceracer watch for some time and my partner generously bought me the Reconnaissance for my birthday. After meeting with Brett, we quickly learned we were in safe hands. He's very passionate about his craft and he incorporated a few custom changes seamlessly.It's great having a watch that's NZ made and the end result in titanium was a great option.

Paceracer is the place to go to if you are looking to create your own watch. The experience was great. Going from the drawing board to wearing it on your wrist everyday. I highly recommend Paceracer for quality and design.

This is my first and only mechanical self-winding watch and was a gift for my 40th birthday. Brett is a true artist who clearly loves his craft and shares his passion and knowledge with you throughout the whole journey. So awesome to see a local watch maker creating such beautiful products in New Zealand. Thank you Brett - love my Paceracer!

Love this timepiece!Beautiful sleek design, understated and elegant. The mechanism is made of tough materials and hasn't skipped a beat, definitely the favourite in my collection.The owner and designer walked me through the process, allowed for customisation to make it unique, and has so many other pieces in the collection I would love to add.Amazing work!
