Watch strap did not meet expectations
Watch strap did not meet expectations. The strap does not project the tartan design enough. The small tartan bow that enhances the packaging box, was more distinct than the actual watch strap.

Unique watch band
Unique watch band, that seems to be of very high quality and looks fantastic.
Post office had a minor issue delivering the item and MacKinnon dealt with it right away.

I received the watch in a timely manner and the craftsmanship is excellent. My only wish for a change is that the band under the tartan be leather.
Really class time piece
I love the concept and final product both. Really class time piece. The personalization is a lovely touch. It would have been nice to have more communication around production and shipping, but I understand its a very small business.
As a proud member of the ancient Clan Mackay
As a proud member of the ancient Highland Clan Mackay, I've always cherished anything that honors our rugged Scottish roots and storied history. When I discovered MacKinnon Watches and their custom tartan options, I knew this was something special—not just a timepiece, but a true collector's item. I opted for a custom piece featuring the Mackay tartan strap, handwoven from authentic Scottish mills, paired with a sleek. From the moment it arrived, it felt like wearing a fragment of the Highlands on my wrist. The attention to detail is extraordinary: the vibrant clan colors pop without being overpowering, the engraving option let me add a personal Mackay touch, and the overall build quality screams heritage craftsmanship rather than mass production.
This isn't your everyday watch—it's genuinely one-of-a-kind. In a world of generic luxury brands, MacKinnon has created something rare and meaningful: a modern heirloom that bridges centuries of clan pride with exceptional horology. Every glance at the dial reminds me of misty glens, ancient battles, and unbreakable family ties.
If you're from a Scottish clan (especially us Mackays!), or simply appreciate unique, story-driven pieces, this is an absolute must for any collector. MacKinnon Watches aren't just selling watches—they're preserving and celebrating our heritage in the most elegant way possible. Easily the best 5 stars I've ever given. Slàinte mhath to the team—thank you for creating something truly extraordinary!

I ordered 3 watches as gifts for my husband and two best men. They all loved the watches and were delighted with them. The watches were very well made and came in time for our wedding. The company customer service was also very good.
I would recommend this company if you are looking for a special gift that is out of the ordinary. Many thanks to you all.

The personal touch
I had ordered a watch for my son with lots of personalisation done to it.
As I was due to visit family near the workshop I thought it may be nice to collect the watch in person.
Annarita and April made us (my parents and I) feel extremely welcome and took the time to show us the process and answer all our questions.
The watch is exceptional and I am sure my son will love it when he receives it.
Belinda and Matt have something very special here and it is a privilege to has seen the inner works and take acustom piece home too.
Thanks guys.
Beautifully made

Good online shopping experience. Shipping took longer than expected—that was USPS issue (and blizzard).
Everything they said they’d do, they did. Fine product.
