Company Introduction

A Watch Brand Offering Practical and Beautiful Vintage Designs at an Affordable Price

INKLINGS was created to offer vintage-inspired designs that are both practical and beautiful—at a price that makes sense.

We exist for those who seek not luxury goods, but watches that bring elegance and functionality into their everyday lives.

The journey of INKLINGS began with the passion of designers and artists who have long loved and admired watches.

Our team is deeply involved in every step of the design process, personally crafting every detail, from the dial and index sizes to the hands and case design.

We don’t rely on large teams or flashy advertising agencies.

Instead, we operate as a small, dedicated group, ensuring that every penny our customers spend goes directly into the craftsmanship of the watch itself.

This allows us to deliver top-quality watches at prices that remain accessible to everyone.

Our mission is simple: to create practical and beautiful watches that anyone can wear every day.

Our watches are not luxury items—they are companions that share life’s everyday moments with you.

1. Background and Concept of the GREYTOWN Watch

This was the turning point of industrialization, when watches—once considered luxury goods—began to be produced at prices that ordinary people could afford.

We were born by blending the essence and philosophy of this transformative era with the unique charm of the city of Seoul.

This period marked a time when tradition and modernity coexisted, and a new design language emerged—showcasing refined elegance through simplicity.

We reinterpret this era in a modern context, creating watches that combine the timeless beauty of the past with today’s practicality.

The urban landscape of Seoul has deeply influenced our design philosophy.

Our color palette—black, gray, ivory, and red—extends beyond aesthetics, carrying symbolic meanings and stories:

• Black represents the deep, serene nights of Seoul.
  
• Gray evokes the weathered alleys, faded architecture, and industrial heritage of the city.
  
• Ivory symbolizes warmth, memory, and the flow of time.
  
• Red embodies Korea’s traditional symbols of passion and protection.
  

At INKLINGS, we focus on the essence of the watch—simplicity and functionality.

Our balanced designs capture both the quiet elegance of Seoul’s nights and the dynamic spirit of Korea, blending aesthetic beauty with practical value.

2. Motivation for Creation

A Brand Created by a Businessman and a Designer Who Love Watches

INKLINGS was founded by two individuals who share a deep passion for watches: a businessman and a designer.

Over the years, we have collected countless timepieces and realized that a watch is more than a tool to tell time—it is a work of art that reflects its era, and a meaningful object that carries personal stories.

However, as watch lovers, we often faced two major challenges:

• Watches were often sold as luxury goods at extremely high prices.
  
• Many of the pieces we truly wanted were priced far beyond our reach, and even when money wasn’t the issue, finding them was nearly impossible.
  

This reality—that watches were treated primarily as assets or symbols of wealth—was disappointing.

That’s when we asked ourselves: “Why don’t we create the watches we truly want ourselves?”

Our goal was not just to design something for ourselves, but to share our creations with others who, like us, love watches but struggle to access them due to high prices.

This aspiration led to the birth of INKLINGS.

INKLINGS can provide high-quality watches at fair prices because of the unique strengths we bring:

• The businessman has years of experience in global distribution, with deep knowledge of logistics, production, and international networks necessary for building an efficient supply chain.
  
• The designer, a lifelong artist, personally oversees every detail of the watches, ensuring both precision and artistry in each piece.
  

By minimizing reliance on third parties and managing both design and distribution in-house, we cut unnecessary costs and pass those savings directly on to our customers.

As a result, INKLINGS offers watches that blend vintage-inspired aesthetics with modern practicality—at prices everyone can enjoy.

Watches Made by Watch Lovers, For Everyone.

3. Our Design Philosophy

" If we don’t want it, we don’t make it."

At INKLINGS, every watch is crafted with the philosophy: "If we don’t want it, we don’t make it."
The colors of GREYTOWN watches, like black, gray, ivory, and red, reflect the essence of Seoul’s landscape and culture. Each color has a deep, symbolic meaning:

• Black represents the serene, deep nights of Seoul, where city lights and shadows create a sleek, sophisticated contrast.
  
• Gray evokes the weathered alleys, the faded architecture, and the enduring industrial heritage of the city.
  
• Ivory symbolizes the warmth of memories and the timeless flow of time.
  
• Red carries the passion and protection rooted in Korea’s traditional symbols, inspired by the hanbok and dancheong.
  

But our design philosophy extends far beyond just color. It’s about crafting a timepiece that combines beauty, functionality, and meticulous engineering.

Our cases are designed with optimal thickness—ensuring a perfect balance between sleekness and durability. Every aspect of the design, from the movement to the internal space, is carefully considered, leaving no part overlooked. Unlike other companies, we focus on every detail, from the engraving on the movement to the internal structure of the watch, the case-to-dial combination, and the overall thickness.

Every design element—from the case blueprint to the dial—was crafted in-house, with a meticulous focus on precision and innovation.

We don’t just assemble watches; we design them from the ground up, ensuring that every component—down to the smallest detail—works in perfect harmony.

What truly sets us apart is our attention to every single detail—an approach that most companies overlook. From the engraving on the movement to the combination of the case and dial, and the thickness of the watch—we have thought of every part of our design, including the internal space, with precision.

Quality and craftsmanship are always our priority, and as more people join us on this journey, we’ll continue to refine and elevate the designs, technology ensuring even more accessible prices without compromising excellence
