In the world of horology, few names resonate with the same level of prestige and craftsmanship as Adina Watches. For over five decades, this Australian watchmaker has consistently delivered timepieces that seamlessly blend style, precision, and durability. At the heart of every Adina wristwatch is a commitment to quality, and this commitment shines through in the meticulously crafted components that come together to create each and every Adina. Let’s delve into the key elements that have made an Adina wristwatch Australia’s reliable time keeper.

1. Cold Stamped Stainless-Steel Case:

The foundation of any exceptional watch is its case, and Adina takes this to the next level with cold stamped stainless-steel cases. This manufacturing process involves stamping then annealing stainless steel into shape, ensuring precision, strength, and hardness. Not only does this method result in a case that can withstand the rigours of daily wear, but it also exudes a refined aesthetic. Adina’s cases are finished in a myriad of techniques which include mirror polish, sandblasted finish, vertical brushing, or a combination of couple which radiates sophistication and timelessness.

2. Sapphire Crystal:

The watch glass or crystal is its window to the world, and Adina employs sapphire crystal overall to protect its dials. Renowned for its hardness and scratch resistance, sapphire crystal ensures your Adina watch maintains its clarity and brilliance even after years of use. It’s a testament to the brand’s dedication to producing watches that stand the test of time.

3. Swiss Made Automatic and Quartz Movements:

Adina offers a diverse range of movements, including Swiss made automatic and quartz movements. Swiss craftsmanship is synonymous with precision and reliability in the watchmaking industry. Whether you prefer the self-winding elegance of an automatic movement or the impeccable accuracy of a quartz movement, Adina ensures that your timepiece is equipped with the best.

4. The Dial:

The dial of an Adina watch is a canvas of sophistication. Meticulously designed and manufactured, it's where time is displayed with the utmost clarity and style. Adina offers a variety of dial designs, from minimalist to intricate, ensuring there’s a watch to suit every taste and occasion.

5. The Bracelet:

The bracelet or strap of an Adina watch is more than just a means of securing the timepiece to your wrist; it’s an extension of its design and quality. Adina offers a range of options, from stainless steel bracelets that match the case to leather and rubber straps, allowing you to tailor your watch to your personal style.

6. The Hands:

The hands of an Adina watch are a testament to the brand’s attention to detail. These precision-crafted components are designed for maximum legibility, ensuring that you can read the time at a glance, day or night.

7. The Bezel:

The bezel is both a functional and aesthetic element of a watch. Adina carefully designs its bezels to enhance the overall look of the watch while providing utility, such as a rotating dive bezel for sports watches or a sleek, fixed bezel for dress watches.

When you invest in an Adina wristwatch, you’re not just acquiring a timekeeping device; you’re acquiring a piece of artistry and craftsmanship. From the cold stamped stainless-steel case to the sapphire crystal, Swiss made movements, dial, bracelet, hands, and bezel, every component is carefully chosen and expertly crafted to ensure that your Adina watch not only tells time but tells a story of precision, elegance, and enduring quality.

As anyone who has ever attended school knows, punctuality is key. From arriving on time for class to submitting assignments by their due dates, students are expected to be punctual in every aspect of their school lives. However, keeping track of time can be a challenge, especially if the clocks in the classroom are inaccurate or difficult to read. That’s where Adina school classroom clocks featuring the school’s logo and a service agreement that ensures all the clocks are kept on time can make a big difference.

One of the key benefits of having Adina school classroom clocks with the school’s logo is that it can help to create a sense of pride and school spirit. By prominently displaying the school’s logo on each clock, students are reminded of the school’s identity and feel a sense of connection to their community. This can foster a positive school culture and encourage students to take pride in their school.

In addition to promoting school spirit, having a service agreement that ensures that all the clocks are kept on time can also be incredibly beneficial. These agreements typically involve regular maintenance and upkeep of the clocks, ensuring that they remain accurate and reliable. This means that students and teachers can rely on the clocks to keep them on schedule and help them stay organised throughout the day.

Having accurate and reliable clocks in the classroom also helps to create a more efficient learning environment. When students and teachers are aware of the time, they are better able to manage their schedules and make the most of their time in the classroom. This can lead to increased productivity and better learning outcomes for students.

In summary, Adina school classroom clocks featuring the school’s logo and a service agreement that ensures all the clocks are kept on time can be incredibly beneficial for students, teachers, and the school community as a whole. By fostering school spirit, promoting punctuality, and creating a more efficient learning environment, these clocks are a smart investment for any school. So if you’re looking for a way to improve your school’s organisation and efficiency, consider investing in these clocks today.

Leadership is a pretty subjective topic of which hundreds of books have been written! What is not open to interpretation is a leader who leads from the front.

The Brisbane City Council is committed to supporting local and family businesses through its procurement program, but it went to the next level when the Lord Mayor dropped in to buy one of our Brisbane produced Adina Watches for himself!

Never one to miss an opportunity. Grant was able to have a candid chat about the ‘Brisbane Buy Local Policy’ as the city builds to the 2032 Olympics. Here is a couple of key points he mentioned during the course of the conversation about the policy that was introduced in 2019.

“In the past 12 months we hit a record 83 per cent local buy spend, injecting $1.1 billion into South East Queensland businesses, with every single dollar spent locally helping create and secure jobs for residents and keep our South East Queensland economy strong. This local investment is even more important as Brisbane emerges from an extremely challenging few years after facing COVID-19 and then a natural disaster with the floods.” He said.

Going on to say “This policy, our seven-day payment terms and record spend proves to local businesses that they’re not alone and that we’re backing them.”

But enough about that, he was here to buy himself a new Adina watch! After getting an insight into the collection he went on to select one of our new mechanical exposed balance models in an all-stainless steel finish. Great choice lord Mayor! His son Wolfgang made sure he made the right choice!!

Thanks for supporting out local Brisbane family business that has been producing watches in Australia for 52 years.

In retrospect, in a year of somewhat a great deal of uncertainty with rising costs of living pressures amid the lifting of many COVID related restrictions, we are thankful and very grateful of the continued support the Australian public has given us.

We feel strongly their desire to see an Australian family business that manufactures here in Brisbane not only continue to grow but one to be celebrated. In an era of disposability, the nature of a business being sustainable is now very much in fashion. The great thing we have not really had to change at all, with many of our core functions being very sustainable.

We also think the public’s belief in our desire train the next generation of watchmakers through our apprenticeship program is to be applauded. We currently have four apprentices including our first female apprentice, which is exciting!

It is humbling to have also been invited to participate in several forums from sitting on the Brisbane City Council round table for SMEs as well as a participating in a smart project in collaboration with a number of other local manufacturing businesses with the goal to improve our collective capabilities.

2022 also saw the opening of the Adina boutique where both our retailers and consumers can experience firsthand, full immersion into the world of Adina. Through being able to witness how our watches are made. Some of the first to enjoy the experience were members of the family business community and our local business connections with special guests our local member Fiona Cunningham and the Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner!

The year, also saw our second year as the timer of the famous blue water classic the Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht race, with Ichyban taking home the silverware and of course for each of the crew one of our special edition watches for their trouble.

We have released several new models including some innovation in our work watch sector and spectacularly new diamond set models. Just to highlight a couple.

These are just the tip of the Adina iceberg that was 2022! None of it would have been made possible without the dedicated team that is behind each and every single Adina watch. I can only praise them for their efforts, skill and dedication. With that both Dad and I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and look forward to your continued support in 2023.

The year 2000, as far 12 months go, was a bit of a big noter. Aside from being the start of a new millennium, Australia hosted the Olympics and here at Adina we released our first diamond set watches. The WT16 and WT17.

Since then we have produced another 10 different diamond set models. On reflection our favourite and our most successful (possibly why it is our favourite) was the flat and rectangular 200217. It was sophisticated and elegant yet we always felt we could create something that was “next level” on both fronts. Enter our latest diamond set creations affectionately nicknamed Estella (meaning bright star) and Audrey (as movie star) for our founders’ granddaughters! Let us visit each in detail and see if we can agree that these are our best yet. It is clear as a Moreton Bay morning, that we have once again strived for functionality, but does the rest of the watch live up its predecessors? Let us take a closer look.

Our DNA dictates that we ensure every watch we produce is functional, and it is very apparent we delivered on this. Both models are constructed from cold stamped stainless-steel cases equipped with sapphire glasses and of course are water resistant. But adding a few diamonds, how hard can it be!? It will come as no surprise that there is quite a bit going on behind the scenes to bring these sparkalicious beauties to life than you could possibly imagine. Let’s start with the diamonds. At the spritely age of about a billion years old, yes that is billion with a “b”, these natural diamonds have been formed deep in the earth’s crust under extreme heat and pressure before being pushed to depths more accessible to us mere mortals. There are serious costs incurred when mining and when you take into account about 200 kilograms of rock needs to be dug up to yield just 0.2 grams of diamonds, of which only a portion is ever good enough to be used in watches!

It is also significant that a diamond is the hardest natural material in the world being nearly pure carbon, which conjures images of them being black in colour. Nothing could be further from the truth! Generally, diamonds are colourless but some minute trace elements can have an influence on the colour. This is where hues of yellow, blue and of course pink come from.

Now that we all know where a diamond comes from, let us get on to the business of creating a diamond set watch. With our latest creations we wanted to deliver a flatline round model and Cartier tank inspired rectangular model. The first step is to CAD each design with diamonds in mind. We need to create the extra steel in the bezel to accommodate the diamonds that have been individually selected and measured to be exactly the same in colour, clarity and cut. The carat (weight) which often comes into this conversation is viewed very differently when it comes watches. It is the total of all the diamonds added up together where the value is calculated.

Four case finishes are available in each model. The polished stainless-steel versions aside you can have ionically plated gold, rose or two-tone gold and steel. Powering them both is the Swiss Made Ronda 762 two hand fully jewelled movement and available in each is a classic Roman dial. This is where aesthetically and mechanically the similarities end.

Adina Diamond Set Kensington Dress Watch CT131 – “Audrey”

The Tank inspired rectangular CT131 or “Audrey” sparkles of natural diamonds each 1.20mm in size running the full length of the case dramatically ending at the step before the lug horns. Falling elegantly away from the case is a large rolled link style bracelet which is also constructed for cold stamped stainless steel exuding longevity and purpose. A simple yet sophisticated enamel white, barrel index dial could be argued, to be the feature that ties this design together.

Adina Diamond Set Kensington Dress Watch CT133 – “Estella”

Whereas the slimline and elegant round CT133 or ‘Estella’ revels in her exaggerated simplicity. The natural diamonds as they ought to be are the feature all 56 of them! Each just over 1mm in size shining like little beacons. Bedazzling all and sundry. Yet again it is the dial that unites this design and celebrates her elegance. Aside from the aforementioned classic, white roman dial. The CT133 is also available in a stunning simple stone set versions in light champagne colour and natural mother of pearl executions.

When it comes to living with the Adina CT131 and CT133; The bracelet feels like it completes the package as it continues the excellent finishing and attention to detail seen on the case. Both bracelets also feature a very nice one touch clasp which is operated by pressing the Adina logo outside the centre. There is no hiding the fact that the Adina CT131 and CT133 are simply stunning timepieces. Crafted with love and incredible attention to detail here in our Brisbane workshops, supporting our 51-year watchmaking pedigree. Both also resonate functionality and style and certainly do more than enough to set it apart from its predecessors of two decades ago.

The Adina CT131 Diamond-Set Kensington is available now starting at $1495-

The Adina CT133 Diamond-Set Kensington is available now starting at $1895-

Constructed by hand in Adina’s Brisbane workshops, the broad, faceted bezel, muscular squared-off sprung catch and strongly 4 o’clock crown all work to give the Adina Adventurer a bold, athletic look when clipped to a belt loop or the shoulder strap of your pack. Adina truly sets this design apart in the fine details of which the hard snapping catch is perhaps the best example of these unique touches.
