About us
Hello, I am Axel Schmidt,
your Managing Director of ZEITMANUFAKTUR
Ocean to Ocean Ltd.
For 35 years, we are specialized in Manufacturing and Distribution of WhiteLabel Watches, as a German owned corporation in Asia.
Since 1989, we have perfected our engineering process and built up a network of the best Manufacturers, Graphic Designers and distribution channels.
In 2013, more than two decades of such expertise have been renamed into ZEITMANUFAKTUR!
As a result of our specialization, we are in the position to offer you an unparalleled range of products and services, which will save time & cost for you.
Just send us your artwork together with the choice of product and we will manufacture and deliver the requested watches complete to the highest standards including our specially developed method of watch dial personalization in the form of three dimensional relief application.
​
… it’s as simple as that!
​
We do manufacture complete new watch models, designed from scratch, according to your concept ideas. Facing a watch production capacity of 1,5 Mio. watches per year, lead times are fast and 100% on time.
​
Well known retail watch brands of the European and North American market are our customers for many years.

Company History
The foundation of our success was laid in 1989 by exporting high-quality premium watches, individualized with custom branding on the watch dials.
In 1997 we expanded the service of watch customization.
For over 21 years now, our in house graphic design team is taking care of the best possible reproduction of corporate identities on the dial face of our watches.
In 2002, a specially developed system for reproduction of logos in form of a three-dimensional relief application has been engineered.
Until today, this technique separates us from the pool of various other manufacturers.
2013 we have renamed our corporation to “ZEITMANUFAKTUR” and increased the export activities in the European market.
​
Expansion of the market segment of trend and fashion watches. Zeitmanufaktur wins the trust of more well-known fashion watch brands to develop and manufacture their jewelry watch collections.
​
2015 Increase in watch production capacity to 1,5 Mio. watches per year.
​
2016 Further enlargement in the sector of trend- and fashion watches.
