About Hulsman Timepieces
Machiel Hulsman has made history by crafting the first fully hand-made Dutch wristwatch. A former IT consultant, Machiel followed his passion for craftsmanship, transitioning from a corporate career to become a bespoke watchmaker. Inspired by his core values – invention, materials, craftsmanship, freedom, and people – he invested years honing his skills, working in a small workshop he built from scratch.
Each Hulsman timepiece is a masterpiece of precision, with nearly every component crafted by hand. Clients are deeply involved in the creative process, making each watch uniquely personal. Machiel’s journey is a testament to following your heart, embracing patience, and creating timeless art.

About Machiel
Machiel Hulsman started in a small atelier, in the Dutch town of Hilversum in 2014. Creating fully hand-crafted wristwatches, blending tradition, innovation, and unparalleled craftsmanship. After leaving a successful career in IT, he pursued his passion for watchmaking, guided by core values of freedom, precision, and creativity.
In his brandnew workshop in the town of Heerde (Gelderland – The Netherlands), Machiel meticulously crafts bespoke timepieces like the Marie-Elise and Solstitium Tourbillon, each a testament to patience and artistry. Every watch is nearly entirely handmade, with only a few specialized components sourced externally. Clients are deeply involved in the design process, resulting in unique, personal pieces.
Machiel’s work embodies a timeless philosophy: honoring tradition while creating something wholly unique. His watches are not just instruments of time but symbols of dedication, individuality, and legacy.
