Rooted in Craft, Defined by Independence: The Story of Link & Tag & LT Project
The Genesis: A Voice for Independent Horology
Link & Tag began in 2017 with a singular, passionate mission: to introduce the fascinating world of independent watchmaking and microbrands to Chinese-speaking enthusiasts. What started as an editorial platform quickly evolved into something much more tangible. We established a physical showroom in the heart of Taipei—a dedicated space for collectors to touch, feel, and experience groundbreaking timepieces from all over the globe right here in Taiwan.
Over the years of curating the world’s finest independent creations, we realized our journey had to take the next natural step. We wanted to give back to the community that supported us by turning our deep horological insights into physical creation.
Enter LT Project Watches : The Pinnacle of Watchmaking
LT Project is the realization of a long-held vision: a celebration and continuation of independent watchmaking, proudly engineered and crafted in Taiwan. Under the LT Project umbrella, we unite two distinct yet complementary creative forces—CKL Watches and JSV—each representing a masterclass in local horological craftsmanship, movement refinement, and the fine arts.
CKL Watches: Precision and Movement Artistry
CKL Watches embodies the technical soul of independent watchmaking. Dedicated to the rigorous architecture of mechanical timekeeping, CKL focuses on intricate movement modification, technical refinement, and structural integrity. Every timepiece is a testament to precision engineering, where classic movements are elevated, optimized, and re-imagined to meet the uncompromising standards of modern collectors.
JSV: The Master’s Touch of Hand-Engraving
Founded by master engraver Jacky, JSV represents the pinnacle of bespoke artisanal finishing. Specializing in hand-engraved components, custom watch modifications, and artistic dial architecture, JSV transforms raw metals into wearable canvases. From intricate motifs executed with surgical precision on rotating sub-seconds discs to deeply textured, hand-carved surfaces, every JSV creation bears the unmistakable mark of human artistry and soulful dedication.
