The First Collection

The lume

It keeps going after the light does.

Two photographs, five hours apart. Tap to move between them.

Two watches from the first collection, photographed the same day — one in afternoon light, one after dark.

Presence That Lasts

I built this. I wore it. I tested it through everything life threw at me. Five years later it’s still here — and so am I.

This isn’t just a watch. It’s where design meets emotion, where what you wear carries who you are. Watches have never carried this kind of weight.

I wanted to make room for something real.

Our place

Positive Empathetic’s is a place for recognition: a pause for what has shaped you, what stays with you, and what you choose to make of it.

Our view

Through the dark and the light, there is no single way to move forward. There is only the honest work of meeting your own life.

Our beginning

The first collection starts small and clear: four beaded-watch colourways, each offered as a personal choice rather than a prescribed meaning.

Our intention

Pain into purpose is the whole of it. We leave room for reflection, and we do not ask anyone to become someone else.

I want to be who I didn’t have when I needed it most.

Ryan Zakrzewski, founder

Pre-order the first collection

Each watch is $199. Production begins once 250 pieces are reserved. Estimated shipping December 15, 2026.

Why We Exist

What you wear says something. Even when you don’t.

Positive Empathetic’s wasn’t built because we had it figured out. It was built because we didn’t — and we chose to move forward anyway. Through seasons of anger, disconnection and numbness, sitting with the shadows we had to learn to face.

Not all at once. Slowly. Until happiness stopped being something that happened to you and became something you chose. The journey inward — as uncomfortable as it is — is where you find out what you’re made of. That’s the alchemy.

This watch is what that decision looks like on your wrist. Not a flex. Not a material statement. A quiet signal to yourself that who you’re becoming is worth showing up for. Every single day.
