Watchmaking Research Kinematics (WRK) Brings Hypercar Engineering to Horology

I first spoke to the founders of WRK late one night when my kids were away on holiday. Lucky that, because the excitement and passion emanating from my laptop would have woken even the heaviest of sleepers.

The brand had popped up on my Instagram feed a few times, but for a week or so I scrolled past without looking into it. Unusual case shape, skeletonised movement -  ‘Another Richard Mille’ I thought to myself. Good reminder to always go deeper.

After a few more sightings I clicked the link in their bio and was blown away by what I saw. The WRK website is part engineering case study, part 3d animation masterclass and part video game studio. It’s unbelievably cool, so I did what any self-respecting watch writer would, and sent them a message about it.
Fast forward to our call and I was chatting with Nasko and Caroline, the founders of WRK and oh boy are they a delight! They were sitting next to each other at the same desk, from their home in Modena, Italy. I get pretty nervous when I’m about to talk to brand owners but as soon as we started I felt completely at home.
