In order to break the rules, one first has to master them. This is the ethos of Pro Hunter, the trailblazing, London-based luxury watch house emboldening everyday discovery through its meticulously modified, ultra-durable sports watches.
We are first-to-market experts with decades of industry and product knowledge of the Rolex brand. Our team of highly specialised craftspeople who call on their legacy of working with the world’s most coveted timepieces to create Pro Hunter’s limited-edition, bespoke collections.
INNOVATING TRADITION SINCE 2008
Handcrafted using only the finest materials and cutting-edge technologies, the result is a range of elegant, high-performance timepieces that pay proper homage to the classics.
Kamal Choraria founded Pro Hunter in 2008 after more than two decades dealing in the vintage Rolex and Patek markets. For many years, Choraria’s sporting clients had challenged him to source the impossible: a hardwearing luxury watch built for the hunt—and all the world travel, scratches, sweat and elements that come with it.
Heeding their requests, Choraria returned again and again to a singular memory of an exceptionally rare timepiece: an anti-glare black-coated Submariner, specially made by Rolex for a few British Army officers based in Africa in the 1950s. Others only hear stories of the legendary piece, but Choraria had actually felt the weight of one in his hands. Unable to shake the image, he set off to recreate a modern iteration of the priceless military watch, and thus the first Pro Hunter was born.
After handing off his first Pro Hunter prototype to a discerning client, Choraria’s groundbreaking watch brand grew organically through word of mouth, swiftly becoming synonymous with exclusive, performance luxury for active, discrete collectors.
Today, Kamal’s daughter Nikita Choraria helms Pro Hunter as Creative Director. Having grown up immersed in the culture and gleaning from her father a deep knowledge and reverence for Rolex, Nikita steers every Pro Hunter decision from design to operations.
The boutique luxury watch house continues to grow and innovate in its category, evolving to meet the demands of its high-end collector base.
