Microbrand Zelos wanted to offer a timepiece that is unique.
Marine grade bronze is a metal commonly used for ship propellers due to its corrosion resistance. An oxide layer, called a patina, forms a protective skin over time to protect the metal. This patina individualises each timepiece, creating pieces completely unique to you. What starts out as a shiny rose-gold, ages with the atmosphere into a rustic brown.
Meteorite is also used for the ‘Visionary’ collection. This amazing metal is 4.5 billion years old with a striking design unlike any other material. Each and every meteorite dial has a different pattern, otherwise known as the Widmanstatten Pattern. This is formed over millions of years of slow cooling, and cannot be reproduced synthetically. We use material from the Muonionalusta meteorite which is found in Sweden and landed over a million years ago.

Since the start in 2014, Zelos have launched 3 models on Kickstarter with increasing success. Thefirst model, the Helmsman garnered 273% of the targeted funding. The Chroma followed next with 350% and finally the Abyss with an overwhelming 650% of funding.
Zelos is based in Singapore and was founded by Elshan Tang. Having been fascinated by mechanical timepieces for many years, building one was the next logical step. He believes that great timepiece designs should not be confined to luxury brands.
