Tom Aspinall is the first collaborator in Reigi Oy’s Signature Series, a concept dedicated to honoring individual achievements through handcrafted mechanical watchmaking. Developed in close cooperation with the heavyweight champion, the watch is produced in a strictly limited series of 28 pieces. For each watch sold, a donation will be made to fund a private autism diagnosis for a child in need.
A watch as a personal reminder
Tom Aspinall is the first recipient of Reigi Oy’s Signature Series wristwatch, which was personally presented to him on January 21 in Manchester.
Finland-based independent watch brand Reigi Oy developed the handcrafted mechanical wristwatch in close collaboration with Aspinall. The result is a highly individual timepiece designed to serve as a personal reminder of the wearer’s achievements, values, and key milestones throughout their career.
“In Reigi’s philosophy, a wristwatch is not merely a timekeeping instrument, but a deeply personal symbol that reflects its owner’s journey and accomplishments.” -Julli Huikkonen
The collaboration and the physical wristwatch represent the choices made and determination. Sometimes ordinary people are capable of extraordinary actions—a principle that applies equally to heavyweight competition and to the precise craftsmanship required to transform a mechanical movement into an aesthetic timepiece.
“I don’t even know where to begin. How on earth can you make something like this? It's amazing!” Aspinall commented upon receiving the watch.
The Signature Series will continue with other carefully selected individuals. Each watch will be created as an independent project, built around the personal story and achievements of its wearer.
Signature Series: a collaborative series with a broader purpose
Signature Series is a collaborative concept developed by Reigi Oy, working closely with carefully selected individuals to create limited mechanical watch editions. Each project is conceived as an independent creation, built around the wearer’s personal story, achievements, and life journey.
The watch created with Tom Aspinall represents the opening chapter of the Signature Series. The series is designed to continue over time through future collaborations with other thoughtfully chosen individuals.
The first Signature Series release consists of 28 wristwatches. Aspinall has previously spoken publicly about the challenges of obtaining an autism diagnosis for a child in the UK, where the process within the public healthcare system can be lengthy. For this reason, Reigi has chosen to donate the cost of one private autism diagnosis for a child in need for every Tom Aspinall Signature Series watch sold.
“It’s important for us to give something back. For every watch sold, we will donate the cost of one private autism diagnosis for a child in need in the UK”-Julli Huikkonen.
