It’s not a question anymore, it is a service. You can work with a boutique designer & manufacturer locally in New Zealand to design a unique piece watch. A custom watch that will seal the deal & hold your lover forever.

The process at Paceracer always begins with a sketch.

We can create bespoke designs made from precious metals, crafted by hand in gold, platinum or challenge Paceracer with a material of your own. We have limitations, but so far have found a way to over come & design a watch for any request.
