Identity and scope

Lima Watch is an Indonesian independent design-led watch studio founded by Herman Tantriady.

This guide treats that identity as the starting point. It does not transfer line-level history to an individual watch without matching reference evidence. 1

Historical position

The brand's own publication page includes a profile dating Lima Watch to 2014 after Tantriady's design career in Singapore and Indonesia.

The date and context belong to the event described, not automatically to every object bearing the name. 1

What the source establishes

The cited Lima Watch record is the evidence anchor used here for Lima Watch. Its documented scope is narrower than a complete corporate, calibre, or model archive.

Where the source speaks for the brand, its historical statements remain attributed rather than converted into independent verification. 1

Identify the exact watch

Record every visible dial signature, the complete case-back reference and serial markings, movement or module markings, dimensions, materials, and complications. Compare those details with a dated catalogue, manual, archive extract, or service document for the exact reference.

A shared logo or broadly similar case is an identification lead, not proof of age, originality, or authenticity. 1

Keep entities and dates separate

Use 2014 only in the documented context described above. Names may survive ownership changes, disappear and return, or refer to a founder, historic maker, product line, and present operator at different times.

Build an object-level chronology before making continuity claims. 1

Research a Lima Watch watch

Start with clear photographs of the dial, case back, crown, clasp, and movement where safely accessible. Search the exact markings in primary documentation and retain the document date and page or section.

For authentication, servicing, or valuation, use a qualified specialist and preserve provenance, invoices, and prior service records. 1

Ownership and continuity

The current evidence identifies Lima Watch and establishes the bounded historical context above; an individual watch still needs reference-level documentation. 1

Identification and service

For an individual watch, record the complete reference, serial, dial, case, and movement markings and compare them with dated primary documentation.

A brand history cannot authenticate, appraise, or establish the provenance of a particular watch.
