We start with Empathy, understanding, and a realization that it is not simply “keyword” skills or necessarily even experience that make someone good at a job. This is especially relevant in the product world where a great PM or designer can come from any background. We believe that having understanding and gratitude puts us miles above the rest. For both our candidates and clients: our differentiating factor is that we actually understand you. That is why we do what we do - Starting with empathy is our baseline. Candidates: we know our clients and our goal is to find you a place you will fit in, love to work at, and succeed that actually aligns with who you are.Clients: yes, we have better quality, increase speed, and save money. But in reality it’s the fit that matters and we excel at it.

Edinburgh | Switzerland

I co-founded Fulton and Inglewood as an independent watch brand. The idea is not to redefine the watch industry, but to create classic automatic watches with high quality parts at a reasonable price. We focus on Swiss components either assembled in Switzerland or assembled by high quality engineers in Asia.The watch is not all that it takes to create a household name however, and we are well aware that the experience and service are a major part of this. As such we have tailored our offering to have better value than our competitors.The market is saturated with cheaply made watches with decent Japanese or clone ETA movements. There are a few independent companies that utilise high end components, but none that focus on the entire experience of buying a watch, and the ENTIRE watch itself. We wanted to create a company that would utilise high end components, and be accessible to the everyday man. We successfully achieved this with the launch of our first watch - The Zeitlos in November 2017. With a limited run of 50 pieces, we are now onto our second iteration of the Zeitlos called the Maverick. The Maverick. The Maverick is a racing tribute watch that will have a limited run of 1895 to commemorate the first ever car race. It will feature a similar design to the Zeitlos however will have a larger face, smaller bezel, and metal caseback with engraving. It will also be thinner at right around 10mm. As per our goal to reach more customers. This watch will feature Swiss components - an ETA 2824, Swiss hands and dial. It will be assembled in Asia to allow us the ability to get it to the end customer significantly cheaper. Kickstarter launch price will be approximately 299GBP.
