    From Merchandise To Watchmaking

    Why Nathan Jewellers wanted to create genuine premium NRL watches instead of another licensed product.

    NRL Clubmaster Game Day watch worn on the wrist

    Nathan Jewellers has spent 30 years in manufacturing jewellery. That background set the standard for what an officially licensed NRL watch had to be.

    The problem with licensed watches

    Most club watches are bought once, worn to a game, and put in a drawer. They are merchandise with a strap.

    The alternative

    Clubmaster™ was specified as a watch first: Swiss movement, sapphire crystal, premium stainless steel, individually assembled, with club colours and detailing worked into the design rather than printed over it.

    • Swiss movement
    • Sapphire crystal
    • Premium stainless steel
    • Individually assembled
    • Club-specific design details
    • NRL logo on the dial

    The test

    The measure of success is simple — would you still wear it on a Monday morning? That question shaped every decision in the collection.
