Back in 2017 Martin Iglody founded MD Watches Studio with a simple idea — to create watches he genuinely loved. Originally from Košice, Slovakia, Martin now calls Cork, Ireland home, where he continues to bring his ideas to life. He has always had a deep passion for watch design, and as a true watch enthusiast he understands what goes into making a timepiece not just look great but perform beautifully, all while keeping it accessible. That passion drives him to design watches that feel a little different, pushing beyond the usual and exploring new aesthetics.

Starting his own studio from the ground up, Martin combines his love for watches with his background in graphic design. Every piece begins as a sketch, gradually evolving into a refined concept and eventually a finished watch, and having full creative control allows him to shape each design from the very first idea through to a working prototype. As an independent designer he works closely with skilled watchmakers and trusted manufacturing partners across Europe and Asia, staying closely involved at every step from design to production to ensure each watch meets his standards in both quality and value. With every design he aims to bring together style, precision and functionality in a way that feels effortless and balanced — a watch created to look beautiful, perform reliably and stand the test of time. The studio's focus is on thoughtful design, dependable performance and lasting quality, for collectors and enthusiasts around the world who appreciate design, craftsmanship and the story behind what they wear.
