Legal Notice & Intellectual Property Policy

Last updated: August 16, 2026

1. Overview

This Legal Notice governs the use of trademarks, brand names, model names, design references, and intellectual property mentioned or depicted on modtimecreations.com (the "Site"), operated by Modtime Creations ("we," "us," "our"). By using the Site or purchasing any product from us, you acknowledge and agree to the terms set out below.

2. Nature of Our Products

Modtime Creations sells custom-built, aftermarket "watch mods" ("Products"). Each Product is built using a genuine Seiko automatic movement (such as the NH34, NH35, NH36, NH38, or NH70) combined with independently sourced, aftermarket cases, dials, hands, bezels, and bracelets. Our Products are original assemblies inspired by classic and iconic elements of watch design that have become widely recognized throughout watchmaking history.

Our Products:

• Are not manufactured, distributed, sold, sponsored, endorsed, licensed, or authorized by Rolex SA, The Swatch Group Ltd. (including Omega SA), Audemars Piguet Holding SA, Richemont (including Cartier International SA), Seiko Holdings Corporation, EON Productions Limited, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc., Danjaq, LLC, or any other watchmaker, film studio, or rights holder referenced, alluded to, or stylistically evoked anywhere on this Site.

• Are not represented, marketed, or sold as genuine, authentic, or original products of any other brand.

• Do not knowingly reproduce another brand's registered wordmarks, logos, or trademarked dial certifications. Any similarity in case shape, dial layout, bezel design, or bracelet style reflects general design conventions common across the watch-collecting and watch-modding hobby, used here solely as creative "homage" or stylistic tribute.

We recognize and respect the intellectual property rights of all trademark and copyright holders referenced on this Site.

4. Use of "Homage," "Inspired By," and Similar Terms

Terms such as "homage," "inspired by," "style," or "tribute" used in our product titles, descriptions, tags, and collection names are used strictly in their ordinary, descriptive sense — to indicate that a Product's design draws creative inspiration from a well-known design lineage. These terms are never intended to suggest, and should never be interpreted as suggesting, that a Product is a counterfeit, replica, or unauthorized copy of a genuine branded product.
