Discover the movements that power O.G watches.
"I imagined animating a watch's dial without any moving parts, and saw flashes of light and dark with a scattering of stars."
OLIVER GALLAUGHER
Deep Space
The first O.G series, inspired by the dream and a ten year journey to create watches never seen before.Launched in 2023, its ten-piece production is now sold out.
Light is reflected like a shower of shooting stars across the dial's surface when tilted, flashing different shades. An original and charming effect achieved through a combination of decorative processes.
For purity and simplicity, only the hours and minutes are displayed. Together with the floating chapter ring above, they give focus to the dial, as each one is special, with its stars engraved by hand.
Look closer and you'll discover the hands are made in a twin-piece construction from steel and titanium. A subtle and surprising innovation that creates a clean line of contrast on the same level.
MOVEMENT
GUY-1
From its fully decorated mainplate and bridges, showcasing perlage patterning and Côtes de Genève, to its mirror polished steel screws, Glashütte winding click and regulation parts - the GUY-1 movement shines in a yellow gold finish that signifies the importance of these first ten watches.
To find balance and harmony within an O.G watch's design, every one of its parts must be consistent with its theme. A contrast of sandblasted and polished surfaces shape and highlight the Deep Space's Neo-vintage style.Its large, fluted crown is reminiscent of classic watches with excellent feedback when winding or setting the time, and its dodecagonal case back further evokes a golden era of watchmaking. This unconventional fusing of traditional and contemporary design results in a watch that pays tribute to the past with a focus on the future.

Rob Corder, WATCHPRO
"O.G is a bit of an anomaly in the world of up-and-coming independents.. exclusive and thoughtfully designed but also attainable."
Bilal Khan, WatchTime Magazine
"The Deep Space caught our attention as a first effort that’s remarkably polished, and has us interested in what might come next."
Zach Kazan, Worn & Wound
"Every detail of the Deep Space, from the artistic dial to the proprietary movement and handmade, non-stitch strap, exudes connoisseur appeal."
Sky Sit, Europa Star
"From a unique design with incredible attention to detail to a custom-built movement from the heart of German watchmaking, the Oliver Gallaugher Deep Space will certainly turn a lot of heads and create impatience for his next release.."
Fergus Nash, TIME + TIDE
In Retrospect
In 2023 a single prototype of the Deep Space watch was completed, but without outside investment or industry influence it required the collaboration of other independent watchmaking partners, the passion of the watch community and the faith of ten collectors to give life to a new vision of watchmaking - O.G.
The Deep Space series launches O.G into the watchmaking universe, and many more original and surprising watches will follow.A special thank you to our production partners, watch media and the Deep Space's ten collectors. You made a dream possible.
DISCOVER
"While some watches strive to appear complex. The Deep Space Blue is an intricate watch that is engineered to appear simple.Subtlety is a principal of O.G design - seeking a level of refinement and depth that can only be discovered when looking closer."
Oliver gallaugher
The dial of the Deep Space Blue creates a dynamic visual effect. As the watch moves, the dial channels light diagonally, causing a constellation of stars to flash and fade across a deep blue.This effect is achieved through a combination of decorative techniques: fine brushing, applying a blue lacquer, precision engraving and rhodium galvanisation.Every dial is engraved with its own pattern of stars, making each Deep Space Blue watch unique.
Like the first Deep Space series, the hands are made in a modular construction. This creates a homogeneous form, but with a clear contrast. A paradoxical innovation that we've taken further - now moulding each hand tip from a luminous ceramic, radiating a strong blue glow in low light.
The larger sections of the hands are made from 904L steel - a world's first in watchmaking. They feature curved top surfaces that are mirror polished to warp time and light. To enhance their fluid appearance the centre pinion is hidden - another technical achievement in our pursuit of refinement and simplicity.
The Deep Space Blue's case is also made of 904L steel, resulting in an exceptionally bright finish, subtly contrasted by its sandblasted surfaces. Its cool tone and radiance enhances the vibrancy of each unique dial.
The minute track is separate from the dial and created through the highly technical challenge of engraving its shape into the front sapphire crystal - a material almost as hard as diamond.
Once the minute track is cut, it's filled with a mixture of Grade X1 Super-LumiNova to achieve a seamless integration of two entirely different materials. A complex process to achieve the ultimate simplicity. Watch the video to learn more.
In daylight, the minute track casts a shadow reminiscent of the sundial - the first device used to measure time through light.In darkness, it transforms to a glowing blue, carrying time’s story from its beginnings into the present and beyond.
MOVEMENT
LTM5000-G
The LTM5000-G is an exclusive design and specification developed specially for O.G.At just 3.3mm thin, with a variable-inertia balance wheel and a 60 hour power reserve, it shines from every perspective, with polished anglage that highlights its unique semi-skeletonised construction. The future is looking good.
The buckle continues the design language of the Deep Space Blue - shaped from 904L steel with polished facets and sandblasted surfaces that mirror the case’s finish.Two Alcantara and calf leather straps are included - Beyond Blue and Into Grey which are handmade to size.
Delivery

About
The story behind the O.G
GUY-1
The first O.G movement. Inspired by vintage pocket watch movements and classical watchmaking. Every care has been given to ensure its dependable function in a timeless presentation.
*Perlage decoration on the mainplate.
Decorations
From its fully decorated mainplate and bridges, showcasing Perlage patterning and Côtes de Genève, to its mirror polished steel screws, Glashütte winding click and regulation parts - the GUY-1 movement shines with a yellow gold finish.
Decorating areas of a watch movement that won’t be visible might seem unnecessary, but it’s important to us because long into the future when watchmakers service these movements, they will recognise the watch’s significance, and be reminded of their own passion for watchmaking.From a functional perspective, Perlage decoration can trap small particles or excess oil within a movement ensuring it continues to run efficiently.
*Gently fitting the pinion inside of the centre wheel.
*Traditional screwed balance wheels ready for assembly.
*Assembling the barrel.
Timing
The GUY-1's timing can be adjusted in two ways:
Adjusting the horizontal screw on the swan neck regulator, expands or tightens the balance spring, causing it to oscillate faster or slower.
The balance wheel has a number of miniature weighted screws that can be manipulated to also affect the speed of its oscillation, and the rate at which time is measured.
Made by
Each GUY-1 movement is built and assembled in Saxony, in the historic watchmaking town of Glashütte by DK Precision Mechanics - a small team of master watchmakers and decorators, who produce movements and components for many esteemed watch brands.

POWERING
Deep Space
The first O.G watch series, inspired by the pursuit of a watchmaking dream. An original and artistic design featuring an animated dial with a shooting stars effect, innovative modular hands and the exclusive GUY-1 calibre.
LTM5000-G
The second O.G movement, created in collaboration with Le Temps Manufacturer. Its futuristic design gives you a unique view into its semi-skeletonised construction, that highlights each component's fine decoration.
Construction
Despite being just 3.3mm in height and 30mm in diameter, the LTM5000-G's architecture displays a remarkable depth into its inner workings.The skeletonised bridges and winding gears reveal the mainspring barrel, keyless works and escapement wheel below, further emphasising that every component of this movement has been finished with care and consideration.
Decoration
You’ll discover a harmony of classical finishes such as polished chamfers, Perlage and brushed gears, but make no mistake, this is a modern calibre fitting a watch designed for now and the future.
Did you know? The wide Geneva striping was specially developed for the LTM5000-G - inspired by the rich finishes of vintage watchmaking, now futurised for the present.
Timing
The LTM5000-G operates at 4hz or 28,800 beats per hour - a modern frequency that enables more accurate timekeeping and a greater power reserve.It uses a type of balance wheel known as a variable-inertia balance, that allows precise timing regulation by adjusting the small weights along its four arms. This can increase or reduce the speed of its oscillation and inertia, affecting the rate at which time is measured.
Made By
The LTM5000-G movement is produced in collaboration with Le Temps Manufactures in Fleurier, Switzerland. Known for its precision engineering and decorative expertise, the company specialises in developing and finishing high-quality mechanical movements for independent brands. Their work combines Swiss technical rigour with artisanal finishing, making them a trusted partner in bringing O.G movements to life.

About
Oliver Gallaugher is a British designer working with watchmakers and artisans around the world to develop and create watches never seen before.
WHERE WE BEGIN
Founder's Story
Design & Engineering
"My Grandfather Guy was an unusual man. I remember hearing a story of him mixing chemicals in his bathtub to develop the world’s first hair dye with a clear consistency for men - although I was told it gave hair a rather garish brown colour.After serving as a Lt Col mechanical engineer in WW2, he founded the companies ‘Bristol Repetition’ and ‘Tallon’ - inventing machines to automate the manufacturing processes for his new brand of pens. Throughout his endeavours he was awarded many international patents for his unique tooling devices and writing instrument innovations.Later on Tallon produced toy construction sets with the tagline -
Guy was an avid racer, so naturally he designed and worked on a series of race cars that he would take to the track. As described in Iota magazine by the 500 Club:“The Bristol-built Arengo hit the headlines early in 1950, when Joe Fry, in the prototype, ran away with a 500-c.c. event at Lulsgate, to beat up several Coopers”.To me Guy was a dreamer who dared - unafraid to follow his intuition. Stories like this sparked my imagination and opened my mind to ideas that I could create too.
Towards the end of his life Guy suffered a stroke that removed his ability to speak and write. Despite this he was able to communicate that he wanted his wife Vivienne to buy a few specific items. One of these was a wrist watch, which I became very interested in.
Art & Storytelling
My father John was a decorative artist and painter and taught at Brunel Academy in Bristol. He had an acute eye for detail and mastered the ability to imitate many types of marble and wood. He was also commissioned to paint original murals. I remember him as a witty story teller, improvising characters with a wicked sense of humour.My mother Sue is a writer and artist, known internationally for her re-telling of classic children's tales that help teach English to foreign students. She never went to art school but has had many exhibitions for her work, and continues to paint intuitively.
They are all independent creatives, who took unconventional paths in pursuit of their passions.
Watches
Inspired by their enterprising spirit, I've pursued a fascination with watches and an ambition to develop a brand with new ideas. After getting a degree in Creative Writing and practising storytelling at university, I tried to find experience within the watch industry as a designer. However, this proved difficult without a traditional background in watchmaking or design. So, I decided to forge my own path by building a website to share my designs and offer my services independently. Through this I was fortunate to discover and work with other watchmaking enthusiasts and manufacturers around the world, while conceptualising my own brand and ideas.
Throughout a ten-year journey I failed several times at creating a watch brand. There has been no shortage of challenges and the pursuit at times has been less than glamorous. I launched O.G and the Deep Space series in 2023 while washing dishes and cooking all day breakfasts in a local cafe my family and I were running at the time.Thank you to O.G's partners, the watch community, and the first ten collectors. You made a dream possible.
The Future
O.G will continue to collaborate with watchmakers and artisans to create original watches, with an emphasis on detail, decoration, innovation and theme.
