I just returned from my first trip to Edinburgh. I had been looking at MacKinnon watch straps before the trip, but after returning I knew I definitely wanted one. This the highest quality watch band I’ve seen for the Apple Watch. Pictures do not do it justice, it is a true work of art. If you’ve been thinking about getting one, stop thinking and buy it, you won’t regret it. I plan to buy more from MacKinnon in the future.
Picked this up for the Tartan Army feels and it's exceeded expectations tbh. Blue dial is proper sharp. Feels solid on the wrist. Get compliments every time I wear it out. Perfect for match days but honestly good enough to wear anywhere. Buzzing with this one lads
Where to begin?? I love my Campbell watch...and my Stewart watch...and the watchbands I have for my Apple watch. The watch itself is beautiful, keeps perfect time and the bands are so well made! I'm not of Scotish heritage but my heart is in Scotland. I'm so glad I found your website!
Great looking watch strap, with even better craftsmanship. The service was very quick with the strap arriving in a week to Canada. Proud to wear this on my Omegas and support Scotland’s national team!🏴🇨🇦
Got my Harris Tweed watch to match my Harris Tweed waistcoat. I sent them a Tweed sample and they made it into a Harris Tweed wristband to match waistcoat. I wear it as a Tour Guide with the cruise ships that come to Stornoway. Loads of positive comments and people asking “were did you get that”. I love it. Moran taing.
A Timeless Classic: McKinnon Watches By Lord W Davis I have had the pleasure of exploring many watchmakers over the years, but McKinnon Watches truly stands apart as a beacon of craftsmanship and innovation. From the moment you lay eyes on their pieces, it's clear that every watch is a work of art, meticulously crafted with an eye for detail and an uncompromising dedication to quality. The elegance of McKinnon Watches is matched only by their precision and durability. Whether it's a classic design that exudes timeless sophistication or a modern piece that pushes boundaries, each watch tells a story of excellence. The intricate mechanisms and fine materials used showcase a passion for horology that is rare in today's fast-paced world. As a connoisseur of fine timepieces, I can confidently say that McKinnon Watches elevates the craft to new heights. They are not just watches—they are investments in style, precision, and enduring beauty. I wholeheartedly recommend McKinnon Watches to anyone who appreciates true craftsmanship and desires a lasting symbol of elegance. Beyond the simple quality of the timepiece, the customer service is second to none.
Love my Young tartan Apple Watchband! Very well made and it looks so elegant! The beautiful leather back makes the band nice and sturdy as well. Only have had it a day and loads of compliments already!
Love my watch, it has a Sinclair dress tartan strap which is my family name. It was a present to myself.
My watch arrived from across the pond today! There are no words to describe what your small business has created for me. I am beyond thrilled. I will cherish this forever. Thank you so much for bringing me a wee bit closer to Scotland.
I just received my watch band, and it’s exactly what I was hoping for. The craftsmanship is beautiful, and the tartan design adds such a classy, unique touch to my Apple Watch. It snapped into place perfectly and feels great on the wrist. I did spend a little time fidgeting with the magnet on one of the sides, but once I got it, everything clicked into place securely. It’s honestly such a minor thing and didn’t take away from the experience at all. I’ve attached a photo I took after unboxing. Safe to say, I’ll be ordering another one soon!
I’m obsessed with the watch band. Mackinnon was super responsive whenever I had questions and truly ensured that the workmanship was amazing! Thank you I love it so much!
Ordered a tartan strap for my Apple Watch. Looks great and really helpful customer service answering all my questions. Would order again.
Got this as a gift from my partner. Love the green dial and leather combination. A classy men’s watch!
I loved my first tweed Apple Watch strap from MacKinnon watches with the great contrast of modern and traditional design. So I reached out to them for a custom pink color for Spring and Summer. They quickly sourced the tweed and offered further customization by engraving the leather on the inside of the strap with the number of the USS Nautilus, the submarine my father served on during its historic trip to the North Pole. That level of customer service and customization is to be applauded and has made me a loyal customer.
I love it!
I love this necklace, perfect for everyday wear! Excellent quality and beautifully packaged. I will be buying again!
I received my watch today and I absolutely love it! I am extremely happy that I chose the rose gold! It is very stylish!! Thank you MacKinnon, I have found my new favorite watch company!! Misty Helm
My husband ordered a custom apple watch strap for me and I'm thrilled with the quality, workmanship, and attention to detail. The inside leather is embossed with my surname. Overall, I'm quite pleased, it's a lovely gift. I love that Mackinnon Watches takes such good care packing their product as well.
MacKinnon Watches are absolutely stunning and beautifully handcrafted! It feels amazing to wear and the straps are designed brilliantly! I'm glad I could customise various parts of the watch to make it unique, and I went for the rose gold watch face to match my wedding ring! Can highly recommend them to everyone!
The watch band is simply stunning! The tartan used is brilliantly colored and the leather backing is gorgeous and comfortable. They even imprinted the name of my family clan on the leather band. Every detail is so well thought out and put together. Thanks so much for such a lovely piece to add to my Mackinnon Watch collection!
Received my custom tartan watch today absolutely stunning time piece👌, both Belinda & Matthew have done an amazing job with this! And they’re customer services are top class!
Very pleased with my purchase as it's a memory to my mum,it's the Munro collection my mum enjoyed Munro Bagging so I found it quite fitting and with engraving it was a perfect match,it arrived very nicely packed and also had a hand written note inside thanking me for supporting a wee business.
Lovely birthday present from my wife . Great surprise . Couldn’t be happier.
Absolutely love the two watches I got from Mackinnon Watches! Really friendly customer service with amazing quality products. Never leave the house without one on my wrist.
Last night when I’ve got home I’ve received your parcel with the watch. I LOVE small businesses because of the attention to detail!! How you prepared it to be deliver, the wee (not so wee 😂) card telling about yourself, the wee tartan bow (which happens I LOVE tartan bows!) and of course the watch itself made the whole experience of opening it a very pleasant one! Now the watch.. I can’t describe how much I like it. It’s simply PERFECT as my work watch! I love watches and this one is simple and ultra stylish. The tweed strap is simply out this world. I can’t thank you enough for such an amazing job, starting from an impeccable customer service and finishing with the delivery of a truly bespoke time piece. Well done for what you do! 😊😊😁👍🏻🥰
Sfortunatamente non ho ancora ricevuto l'item. It's yet in dogana for control. But I'm ready to write a good review, immediately, when it'll be here. I'm looking for sharing photo, from sea in Sicilia.
The watch it's self was fantastic but at the price it should have had a certificate of Prof 1of 700 anything I've bought that's limited edition it always had a certificate with it what's to say you sell more we don't know that then it's not limited edition we only have your word for that so for me that's what let's it down I thought when I bought it I would get a certificate but not to be very poor
The watch looks very nice. The leather band is super hard and does not shape well to your wrist. Also not knowing that I had to pay over $ 50 dollars in duty and taxes was not appreciated when I did not know it was coming. I do like the watch so I will keep it, but there was some decision to be made. Let people know what to expect please.
I was delighted to learn about MacKinnon Watches recently, and was intrigued enough to buy one. I’m so glad I did, as it’s opening a great new chapter for me in my Scottish ancestry and heritage. I’m very proud to own this classy time piece—thank you Belinda and Matt! As a Canadian who has not yet been to Scotland, I believe this gorgeous watch has reconnected me to my (MacKinnon) clan, and I can hardly wait to explore the highlands myself!
My Wife bought me this as a wedding present - it's comfortable, stylish and keeps time well. It has become my daily wear (and formal wear!) watch. A fantastic gift and a great bit of kit!
Bought it as a Gift and it was perfect.
Very proud of my purchase. The quality and service you give is amazing!!! Definitely recommending you to others. Thank you Louise
This watch is amazing! It was the perfect gift for my husband on our wedding day! The custom tartan matched his kilt perfectly and the company worked to hard to make sure the order was made and delivered in time for our big day! Would highly recommend, the customer service was amazing!
Got this for son-in-law’s 30th birthday. He absolutely loved it and was touched that the strap was made from his family tartan.
elegant and beautiful and of a fine design. i love this wonderful watch!
I love my Tartan Apple Watch band from MacKinnon Watches. It coordinates very nicely with my ruana (long shawl) in the same Tartan that I bought on my recent trip to Scotland. The quality of the band is excellent. I highly recommend!!
Ordered a custom watch from MacKinnon and love it! Brilliant quality and looks great- an amazing wee company that I’ll use again!
Wedding gift for my now husband to match his kilt tartan. He absolutely loved it and got many compliments on the big day!
Couldn't be happier.... This is my second MacKinnon watch, the first being a custom Isle of Skye watch that I literally wear every single day....I cannot wait to add this beauty in to the mix!!
Great option to have something engraved,item only small but enough room for what I wanted thanks.
