MHD Watches are an independent British watch brand who produce limited edition motoring watches with an engineered design aesthetic, inspired by automotive design techniques and classic car design cues.
All MHD watches are designed in the UK by Matthew Humphries, who is best known for designing cars such as the Morgan Aeromax, Supersports and 3 wheeler. After leaving Morgan, Matthew set up his own automotive design consultancy (MHD), and then in 2014 established MHD watches to combine his love of design with his passion for watches.
The symbiotic relationship between cars and watches is a well known fact. The majority of “drivers watches” either take their name from the automotive world (Rolex Daytona for the track, Heuer Carrera after the gruelling and dangerous Mexican road race), or they have an endorsement from it, such as the blue Monaco on Steve McQueen’s wrist in Le Mans.
Most automotive tie-ins come from a brand association, and thats about as far as it goes, but to actually have the same pen designing a watch that designed a car is rare.
