From Scratch: How Tristan Ho Built a Watch Brand With His Bare Hands

In Episode 2 of The Watch Underground, presented by Revolution Watch, we journey into the world of Tristan Ho, the founder of LOTH Watches; one of Singapore’s most compelling independent watchmakers. This isn’t just a profile. It’s a documentary-style deep dive into the mind of a self-taught horologist who built his first watch, the LOTH1 from scratch, with no formal training, no mentors, and no shortcuts. Just grit, discipline, and an obsessive love for the craft. Tristan opens up about the philosophies that guide him, the solitude and silence behind each tick of the movement, and the long, solitary hours at the bench. He shares his personal motivations, the watchmakers he admires, and what it means to be part of a new wave of Southeast Asian independent creators. LOTH1 isn’t just a timepiece; it’s a symbol of personal evolution. And through this episode, you’ll come to understand the stakes, the sacrifices, and the singular vision behind every component. This is The Watch Underground – where we uncover the makers, thinkers, rebels, and dreamers shaping the future of watchmaking.
