CO-LOCATION
Dunlaing employs a co-location approach, with our design studio situated in Ireland and our operations center based in the UK.
Dunlaing benefits from a family-owned design studio situated in Galway, containing an array of inspirational elements encompassing Irish art, history, literature, aeronautical engineering, and mechanical intricacies, many of which have been created by members of the family.
The studio's location amidst the picturesque Irish countryside affords views of the Burren and Connemara mountains, with occasional clear days even revealing the distant silhouettes of the Aran islands. This allows our Head of Design, Michael Dowling, to focus solely on the creation of new wristwatch designs and the enhancement of existing offerings, all while being immersed in the captivating ambiance of the west of Ireland.
Many factors were considered before employing our co-location approach. It was ultimately decided to operate using this way,
as the scope of Dunlaing needed the resources that were only available in the UK.
The decision to house our operations in the UK is also influenced by factors like its watchmaking heritage, robust infrastructure, and a well-knit horological community. This choice enables us to present our wristwatches at reasonable pricing with free shipping, all while fostering organic brand growth.
