HODINA is a North-American minimalistic watch brand with Eastern European roots. Hodina started as a hobby and was later transformed into a business venture by the couple, Vadim and Dasha. They launched their watch and accessories brand early in 2016. The design and planning process takes place in Seattle, WA which is also the base of the brand. The couple were inspired by the city’s raw aesthetics of modern architecture, and the Hodina watches are designed in the same spirit. Hodina addresses individuals of similar mentality, those who value quality and are happy to wear unique and raw design. Their motto: “Quality over quantity”.

Vadim was raised by an ambitious watch-repair specialist and is today just as passionate about the eye-catching pieces as his father. It is from him who he has learned about how to combine colours, materials and shapes to create an aesthetic experience. The Hodina couple draws inspiration from furniture design, fashion and architecture and desire classic features.

Creating a new collection takes several months and the process always begins on a theoretical plane which is later followed by sifting and perfecting the ideas on paper and making it a reality. Different samples are brought in and tested, ideas are exchanged and exchanged and is afterwards followed by the production.
