Ticking for Peace

Commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli Battle, 1915 watch collection pays tribute to the extraordinary spirit that rose in Gallipoli; a spirit of reconciliation and friendship, and respect for the fallen men.  It is a token paying respect to the great sacrifices, and unique depth of understanding between the Turkish and Anzac veterans.

Ticking for peace, 1915 watch collection is a call to set time aside for remembering that the greatest of virtues is respect for life.

Engraved on the case back of the watch are words spoken in the Turkish Assembly in 1934 by Atatürk -to be delivered to an Anzac delegation visiting Gallipoli, and thereafter- inscribed on a large monolith outside the northern cemetery of the Anzac Cove. As the legacy of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk who himself was a veteran of the Battle of Gallipoli demonstrates: no victory or glory, can ever be as important as the life of a single human being.

1915 is the first mechanical wristwatch collection to be designed and made in Turkey. Movement apart, each and every part of the watch from screw to crown has been designed and engineered by Istanbul Time Company. The 35 cm. wide porthole-shaped wooden box housing the wrist watch turns into a wall clock after the insertion of an additional part that comes with the box.


Golden Ratio was used in the design of the appealingly thick case, giving the watch face its unique sense of depth and wonderfully balanced proportions. The further, asymmetrical design on the case imparts the watch a contemporary look. The state-of-the-art case was engineered in layers, and is water resistant up to 30 meters.(3 ATM)

1915 watch collection is globally limited to 1915 numbered pieces. It is available in three versions; including an edition of 19 pieces in 18K white gold, 982 pieces in bronze, and 914 pieces in stainless steel. At the heart of the bronze from which the bronze versions’ layers were cast, there is an old piece of bronze from the Gallipoli Sea.


10% of the proceeds from the revenue of the 1915 watch collection goes directly to the ‘Gallipoli Campaign & Military History Researches Association’.


we have exhausted all the funds for the production of the timepiece and now need support for the global public relation campaign for global visibility of the collection .
