History of Singer Reimagined

Singer Reimagined is a tale of passion, innovation, and a deep appreciation for mechanical timekeeping. Founded in 2017, the brand has quickly established itself as a player in the world of horology, capturing the attention of watch enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Singer Reimagined was born from a collaboration between Rob Dickinson, the founder of Singer Vehicle Design, and Marco Borraccino, a talented watch designer. Singer Vehicle Design is renowned for its meticulous restoration and modification of classic Porsche 911s, with a philosophy rooted in combining the best of the past with modern engineering and design principles.

Drawing inspiration from the world of automotive engineering, Singer Reimagined set out to redefine the chronograph watch. Their first creation, the Singer Track1, debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in 2017 and immediately garnered acclaim for its unique and innovative design. The Singer Track1 was unlike any other chronograph on the market. Rather than the traditional subdials and pushers found on most chronographs, Singer Reimagined opted for a central chronograph display. The hours, minutes, and seconds were displayed in a highly legible and intuitive manner, allowing for easy reading while engaged in high-performance activities.

Building on the success of the Singer Track1, the brand introduced additional variations and limited editions, each showcasing the brand’s commitment to excellence in design and craftsmanship. Each timepiece is meticulously assembled by skilled artisans who share a passion for horology, resulting in watches that are as much a work of art as they are a precision instrument. Their innovative approach to chronograph design, combined with a relentless pursuit of excellence, has garnered the respect and admiration of watch enthusiasts worldwide.

The Singer Reimagined Movement

At the heart of the Singer Track1 beats an exceptional movement developed in collaboration with Jean-Marc Wiederrecht and his team at Agenhor. The movement, the AgenGraphe, combines a column-wheel chronograph with a revolutionary clutch mechanism, resulting in smooth and precise chronograph operation.

The Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Geneve Award

The Singer Track1 received widespread acclaim for its groundbreaking design and exceptional performance. It was awarded the Chronograph Watch Prize at the 2018 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève, cementing Singer Reimagined’s reputation as a serious contender in the watchmaking industry.

Who Owns Singer Reimagined?

Singer Reimagined is owned by Rob Dickinson, the founder of Singer Vehicle Design, and Marco Borraccino, a watch designer. Rob Dickinson’s background in automotive engineering and passion for restoring and modifying classic Porsche 911s played a significant role in the establishment of Singer Reimagined.

Fun Fact

Singer Reimagined founder, Rob Dickinson, is not only a watch enthusiast and entrepreneur but also a musician.
