Maker and launch

James Lamb Watches is the eponymous independent watch brand of English maker James Lamb, supported by named watches, retailer specifications and independent reporting. Launch reporting places Lamb in Lincoln, England, with an engineering background and British Horological Institute training.

Fratello dates the beginning of his own watch design and crafting to 2020; the Origin Series was publicly introduced in 2021. 123

Origin production boundaries

Origin watches use hand-made Argentium silver cases; retailer documentation describes case construction from flat stock and London Assay Office hallmarking. Documented Lamb-made parts include case components, dial blanks and other exterior/supporting components; the Origin Air movement is the Swiss Sellita SW210. 21

Linea and recent evidence

The 2026 Linea Edition names Joanne Ryall as engraver and Andy Roberts as enameller; their contribution must remain separate from Lamb’s case-making. Linea likewise uses a Sellita SW210 movement; hand-made case and dial craft does not make it an entirely in-house movement watch.

Fratello’s 8 January 2026 Linea report documents recent brand activity; a retailer’s Sold Out label describes that listing, not the whole business. The significance of this practice lies in traditional case-making and identifiable collaborative decorative craft on a supplied Swiss movement platform. 32
