About

I’m Leif. 

I grew up in New York with Norwegian/ Japanese roots, and eventually found my way to a small village in south central Sweden. 

It all started when I bought my first table saw. Before I knew it I had a full on tool addiction.

I can't stop building. From custom watches and leather straps to wooden shelves and custom electric fireplaces, I strive to turn ordinary into extraordinary, and do so in Swedish style. 

How did I start making watches?

It all started with a trip to Japan in Spring 2026. I went looking for  planes and chisels to bring home, and ended up bringing back just as many Casio AE1200's.

They're just so cool, simple as that. 

Every Lucky Leif watch begins as a genuine Casio AE-1200 and is rebuilt by hand in my workshop in Östergötland, Sweden. I design the faceplates, select the materials, assemble each watch myself, inspect every detail, and package every order individually.

Thanks for supporting a Dad, a dreamer, and a small workshop in Sweden.
