✦ Our Unique Approach
Why We Build Eigenzeit&Co
Eigenzeit&Co exists to ensure that clarity, trust, and cultural meaning in watchmaking are preserved through carefully structured, human led knowledge.
Today, knowledge about watchmaking is increasingly fragmented.
Terminology is used inconsistently. Opinion and expertise are often difficult
to distinguish. Marketing language sometimes replaces meaning.
Over time, this weakens both understanding and trust.
Siarva was established to address this problem in a disciplined and responsible way. We build and steward Eigenzeit&Co: a structured and governed knowledge architecture that protects clarity, precision, and cultural meaning
in watchmaking.
We believe that while technology can create advantage, only human expertise creates lasting difference. Where quality matters, knowledgeable people will continue to be essential.
We highlight genuine voices, expert insight, and independent thinking, prioritizing substance and originality over trends or noise.
We pursue precision and quality in everything we create, from platform experiences to mechanical timepieces.
We believe that education deepens appreciation. Our Academy, editorial content, and expert network foster meaningful understanding of watch culture.
We build trusted relationships with brands, businesses, experts, and users, grounded in shared purpose, long-term value, and mutual respect.
We operate transparently and ethically, enabling performance that is measurable and meaningful while always respecting privacy and trust.
We evolve with intention, blending tradition and technology to shape the future of horology, both digitally and mechanically.
✦ Understanding Eigenzeit&Co
What Is Eigenzeit&Co
It is a human led, structured environment where watchmaking knowledge
is authored, governed, and preserved with meaning over time.
Eigenzeit&Co is not a media platform, a marketplace, a forum, or a social network.
Media platforms focus on content distribution, not on the structure or reliability of knowledge. Marketplaces optimise for transactions, not for understanding. Forums capture conversation, but not verified expertise or lasting clarity. Social networks are designed for reach and attention, not for accuracy, depth, or accountability.
Eigenzeit&Co ensures that watchmaking knowledge remains precise, contextual, attributable, and reliable over time.
Every concept within Eigenzeit&Co is clearly defined and connected within a shared structure. Knowledge is authored and reviewed by humans. Expertise is visible. Facts, interpretation, opinion, and brand-provided information are always clearly separated so that the nature of each piece of knowledge is transparent.
✦ Stewardship
Who Eigenzeit&Co Serves
It serves everyone who contributes to the clarity, continuity,
and cultural meaning of watchmaking.

Eigenzeit&Co provides structured learning, reliable reference, and long-term educational value. Knowledge becomes cumulative rather than fragmented, helping people understand watchmaking with clarity and confidence.
2. Experts
Expertise is recognised and the craft is respected. Knowledge is authored and reviewed within clearly defined roles, so contribution is meaningful, attribution is transparent, and authority is visible rather than assumed
3. Brands
A trusted environment preserves technical and historical identity with precision. Terminology remains consistent, meaning is protected, and representation is accurate, contextual, and governed.
Time on One’s Own Terms
A Collective Responsibility
The word Eigenzeit originates from German and translates to “one’s own time”
or “personal time.” It describes the experience of time as something individual, conscious, and self-determined.
For us, Eigenzeit reflects the belief that engagement with watchmaking should be deliberate, informed, and meaningful.
The addition of &Co represents the collective dimension of our work.
It acknowledges that watch culture is shaped not by a single voice, but by the interaction of watchmakers, historians, experts, brands, and a knowledgeable community. Eigenzeit&Co exists to provide structure for this collective, not to dominate it.

✦ What Guides Our Work
Siarva As Our Foundation
Rooted in Switzerland, we approach watchmaking as cultural work,
carried with care, precision, and long-term responsibility. This perspective guides our principles and decisions.
Knowledge matters because true appreciation begins with understanding. Horology is a field of depth: engineering, craftsmanship, history, aesthetics, and human philosophy all intersect within it. Much of what circulates today focuses instead on trend, reaction, and surface level commentary. We believe the watch world deserves better.
Our work is designed to raise the level of understanding, protect culture and craft, encourage informed and respectful collectors, support independent watchmakers and brands, and make horology accessible without diluting its depth. Knowledge is not an accessory to what we do. It is at the heart of Siarva.
Eigenzeit&Co is not a retailer, a marketplace, or a hype driven media platform. It is positioned as a cultural home, a knowledge environment, an independent platform, a global community, and a place for structured learning in horology.
We bring together enthusiasts, experts, brands, watchmakers, researchers, students, and collectors at every stage, in a space where respect, curiosity, and authenticity come first. We are rooted in Switzerland, but open to the world.
Trust is essential in watch culture, and it must be actively protected. We maintain trust through neutrality, transparency, and visible attribution of expertise. Structured knowledge remains clearly separated from learning activity and any commercial interests. We do not publish paid opinions or disguised influence.
Being based in Switzerland anchors our work in the historic centre of fine watchmaking, reminding us to honour tradition while supporting responsible innovation. For us, watchmaking is cultural work, not content.
