Galo Watches

Founded in 2021 by Zeca Amendola in Sydney, Galo Watches is an Australian microbrand that takes an unpretentious approach to watchmaking — no heritage, no fancy surname, just honest design. The brand's name means 'rooster' in Portuguese, a nod to the founder's roots, and its watches are built around a clear design vision rather than prestige. Galo gained early traction with a Kickstarter campaign that raised over AU$46,000, and ships to more than 55 countries. Their signature Super 200 skindiver offers vintage proportions, a ceramic bezel, and a Miyota 9039 movement for under $500.
