This is the watch for purists who value craft over logo recognition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Watchmaking Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFounded in 2014 by David Brailsford and Simon Michlmayr, Garrick revives Britain's 300-year watchmaking heritage in their own Norwich workshop. Every DB-G07 movement is built from the ground up and finished by hand—no mass production, no shortcuts. The deadbeat seconds complication requires countless hours of mechanical ingenuity to make the seconds hand stop precisely between ticks, creating the illusion of quartz precision through pure mechanical mastery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe S3 showcases Garrick's exclusive Trinity free-sprung balance made from Sircumet (a proprietary anti-magnetic alloy). Unlike standard index-adjusted balances, the free-sprung design uses weighted screws positioned \"in-board\" to minimize air turbulence, resulting in superior accuracy and long-term stability. Each watch is regulated in every position over three weeks to achieve that ±3-second daily variance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGarrick earned GPHG Finalist status in 2024 and 2025, recognition that typically goes to Swiss brands with century-old pedigrees. This frosted dial variant features hand-beveled bridges, black-polished components (achieved through traditional tin plate and diamantine paste), and circular-grained German silver chapter rings—finishing techniques that trace back to British masters like John Harrison and Thomas Mudge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Watch Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you're drawn to independent watchmakers who control their entire production—from dial manufacture to movement development—the S3 Deadbeat Seconds represents British horology at its finest. This is for collectors who appreciate that Garrick produces only ~50 watches annually, and that each DB-G07 caliber was developed in collaboration with master watchmaker Andreas Strehler. You're buying wearable mechanical art with a 24-month build time, not a watch pulled from inventory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Exquisite Timepieces Advantage\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new S3 Deadbeat Seconds comes complete with Garrick box and papers, backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty. As one of the few Garrick authorized retailers in North America, we provide authentication, trade-in evaluation on your current timepiece, and white-glove service at our Naples, FL showroom.
