Philosophy
Brand vibe
Vasco seems to build its watches with an obsession: 24-hour dials. The whole face is rotated so a full day sits on one rotation of the hour hand... useful for travelers, sailors, astronauts, whoever. Design and assembly happen at a small workshop in Bordeaux. Movements come from Miyota or Soprod; straps are stitched in a French atelier. The brand is refreshingly upfront about what it doesn't do. It doesn't mill its own steel, it doesn't pretend to. What it does do is build some compelling tools. NASA Worldtimer is a particular charmer.

Sourcing & Build
Community verifiedSourcing Notes: Vasco designs, prototypes, and assembles watches by hand in Bordeaux workshop. Movements are sourced from Miyota (Japan) and Soprod (Switzerland) — both automatics. Steel cases and glass components are sourced from specialized suppliers in Asia; leather straps are produced in a French workshop using French bull and calf leather. Each watch is QC'd individually before shipping. The brand is publicly transparent about its hybrid supply chain rather than claiming full vertical integration. Signature feature across the catalog is the 24-hour dial.

⚠ Current Section 122 rate expires Jul 24, 2026 — rates may change.
EU framework deal paused after SCOTUS ruling. Currently flat 10% Section 122. [Note as of June 17, 2026: USTR has proposed new Section 301 forced-labor tariffs (~10–12.5%) that, if enacted, would stack on top of current rates. Still in public-comment phase.]
Tariffs are assessed based on where the watch is assembled, not where individual components originate. A watch with a Japanese movement assembled in the US incurs no import duty.
