About
Where luxury watch dials meet the timeless game of golf
At Eighteen Hour Co., we create more than golf gloves, we create conversation pieces. Each glove features a luxury watch dial, repurposed into a ball marker that attaches to your glove. The result? A product that blends craftsmanship, tradition, and performance into every shot you take.
Our Story
Two passions — golf and fine timepieces — inspired the creation of Eighteen Hour Co. As a former college golfer and devoted watch enthusiast, I wanted a way to carry the confidence and elegance of a luxury watch onto the course — without the distraction of wearing it on my wrist during a swing.
After discovering vintage watch dials could be transformed into ball markers, the idea became clear: integrate them into the highest quality golf gloves available. The result is the Watch Dial Golf Glove — designed for players who demand performance, style, and a story worth telling.
About
The Vision
The Inspiration
The idea sparked outside of golf. Coming from a racing family, drivers often wear their sponsor’s luxury watch brand directly on their racing gloves. Merging precision engineering with the sport at the highest level. That same spirit of performance and prestige inspired us to ask: why can’t golfers carry a piece of watchmaking heritage onto the course?
Golf and watches have always shared a deep connection through tradition, craftsmanship, and style. The challenge was finding a way to bring them together in a way that felt authentic, functional, and elevated.
The Testing
Turning that idea into reality meant years of testing. We knew a golf swing produces forces far greater than most watches are designed to handle. Repeated impact, torque, and vibration that can damage delicate movements. That’s why golfers rarely wear luxury watches on the course.
Our mission was different: to integrate the watch dial into the game without compromise. Through countless prototypes, range sessions, and tournament rounds, we refined a design that holds authentic watch dials securely in place. Each glove is precision-stitched in premium Cabretta leather, engineered to withstand the rigors of play, and tested to ensure the dial stays locked through impact, follow-through, and the toughest conditions.
The Watch Dial Golf Glove
The result is more than just a golf glove, it’s a statement of heritage, innovation, and confidence. The Watch Dial Golf Glove is the first of its kind, blending the timeless elegance of authentic luxury watch dials with the precision and performance of tour-grade Cabretta leather. Interchangeable dials let you personalize your look, while the glove itself delivers the grip and feel demanded by serious players.
Every time you step up to the ball, you’ll be reminded of the craftsmanship and tradition on your hand; a seamless collaboration of golf and luxury watches, designed to inspire confidence with every swing.
The beginning of my Golf Passion
It all started with a Snoopy Putter in my hand at the local country club. I learned the basics at a young age and to appreciate my time on the golf course with family. Whether it be driving the golf cart or tapping in a putt, I enjoyed being there. This is personally one of my favorite photos.
Growing up
I grew to love and appreciate the game of Golf . I remember vividly getting picked up in Elementary school once a week after school and all of my friends would play 9 holes together. Blasting music to the course with all of my friends, little did I know these would be core memories for years to come.
College Golf
I got to live a life long dream of playing collegiate golf. This is something I dreamed about since I was a kid, and being able to say I accomplished that goal is a huge achievement in my life. My next big goal is making watchdialgolf.com customers smile when they look at their golf glove or ball marker.
