History

Stuckx was founded by Stephan Trimbos, a distributor for multiple micro watch brands in Europe, who launched his own brand several years ago based on community feedback from watch forums. The brand achieved significant recognition through successful Kickstarter campaigns, including "The Bull" chronograph which raised €108,864 from 267 backers, exceeding its €50,000 goal by more than double. The company has continued to produce watches and maintain an active presence in the microbrand watch market.

Reputation

Stuckx is respected within the microbrand watch community for its design philosophy and successful crowdfunding execution.
