Atlas VerifiedSourcing Notes: From the founder: "The sapphire is German for this one and the movement is Japanese, but I’m a firm believer in using the best option irrespective of origin. Future models may differ depending on what I’m trying to do! For example, the abalone shells in the [Nascence] are sourced from Beihai, China."

Ships from China
Tariff absorbed by the brand
This brand covers import duties — the listed price is what you pay.
Prices will always be inclusive of DDP shipping, per founder. "I only ship DDP so the price paid on website is all inclusive of tariffs, taxes, duties etc." Brand ships from Shenzhen, China.
China falls in the 12.5% flat Section 301 forced-labor tier (effective July 24, 2026), stacked on top of the pre-existing ~7.5% Section 301 China surcharge for mechanical wristwatches (HTS 9102.11). Exact incremental duty varies by HTS classification.
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.
