Ianos Watches, the brainchild of Jacob Hatzidimitriou was born in 2019 through an extremely successful Kickstarter campaign with the sole purpose of bringing Greek history and mythology to life through the art of watchmaking.
Focusing on blending Greece’s rich mythological and historical heritage with modern design, each Ianos watch channels a unique chapter of Greek culture, inspired by untold stories of ancient Greek legend, history and science. Beginning with the Avyssos, continuing with the Mihanikos and now with the Dytis, Ianos has repeatedly succeeded in combining millennia-old Greek inspirational elements with contemporary design, to create sleek, modern tool watches with a unique, inimitable look. The result is a collection of timepieces that feels both effortlessly refined and deeply authentic, perfect for today’s discerning collector.
This ability has earned it worldwide fame and in its short history has already turned heads beyond Greece’s shores, and now, in collaboration with Kessaris, Ianos brings that same blend of authenticity and elegance to Athens. Together, this partnership champions modern Hellenic luxury with inspired design sharing a common vision of understated sophistication grounded in genuine heritage.
