The future of advanced time design
The LEO was created to serve as the pinnacle for what the WILBUR brand represents. Born from “Dreams of Machines” the LEO is mechanical sculpture with a soul and the first in-house movement from Wilbur. Each LEO reference is ultra limited. The LEO is now available on Earth.
Dedicated to the pioneers.
After 7 years of advanced design and R&D by Jason Wilbur, the LEO has landed. We are proud to introduce the ultra-limited LEO JW1 and WILBUR ENGINE ONE movement. Born from the dreams of machines and based on a proprietary code system that displays the jumping-hours and a space-age alloy never used in a movement development before, the dancing discs of the LEO creates a unique time display unlike any other.
INSPIRED BY THE ROSEWELL INCIDENT.
The LEO watch design draws inspiration from the mystery and intrigue surrounding the Roswell Incident. Like the puzzling fragments and secrecy that fueled beliefs in alien encounters, the LEO watch features cryptic symbols and partial numeral puzzle pieces, artfully exposed to mimic otherworldly "code" or writing. This design nods to the unknown, inviting wearers to connect with the sense of wonder and curiosity sparked by Roswell's legacy.
-
Time Telling:
Seconds on the top, minutes on the bottom, hours in the middle. Although the workings of watch are exposed, time telling is fast and simple once one knows where to look.
-
How it Works:
Jump-Hour - Two suspended and overlapping discs display a series of proprietary symbols that overlap to show the hour numerals in a piece of mechanical art like no other.
-
Amazing Ergonomics
Don't let the dimensions fool you.
Although this is a timepiece with larger dimensions, and purposely so - this is mechanical art - not a diving watch. The strap lugs sit low allowing the case to sit perfectly on the wrist, while the strap is mounted tightly under the case, allowing for an amazing and comfortable fit on both small and large wrists.

Award-winning movement - WILBUR Engine One:
The automatic Wilbur Engine One Jump-Hour movement is suspended in the case through a patent-pending space frame that limits vibrations. This beautiful movement is also stable and reliable as the result of years of R&D and the talent and precision of our Swiss watchmakers.
