Our Story

The Humble Beginnings of Betterichi Watches

Betterichi Watches sprang to life in Zibo, a city where the aroma of sizzling barbecue skewers fills the air and the simplicity and honesty of its people form the fabric of everyday life. In Zibo, a city steeped in the values of Confucian culture, our founder, Bruce, found his calling amidst the unassuming yet profound ethos of his surroundings.

At Betterichi Watches, our vision extends beyond crafting exquisite timepieces. Nestled in the heart of Zibo, a city vibrant with the aroma of sizzling barbecues and enriched by the honest character of its people, we are more than one of Asia's largest watch manufacturers. Our mission is never to maximum profit, but to genuinely care for and uplift everyone who shares our vision of perfecting our craft.

Craftsmanship Rooted in Honesty and Simplicity

Growing up in Zibo, Bruce was immersed in an environment where honesty wasn't just a virtue but a way of life. The city's straightforward, earnest character significantly influenced Betterichi's approach to watchmaking. We believe in creating timepieces that reflect the integrity and simplicity of our roots, ensuring that every watch is as authentic and reliable as the city where our story began.

The name 'Betterichi' is more than a label; it's a reflection of our ethos. It embodies the aspiration to constantly better our craft, to enrich the lives of those who wear our watches, and to honor the rich heritage of watchmaking.
