      About Tempo Time

​

Tempo Time was born from a lifelong relationship with time—not just how it’s measured, but how it’s felt.

Founded by musician and designer Thomas C. Burke, Tempo Time is the convergence of rhythm, craft, and cosmic perspective. As a trumpet player and producer, Thomas has spent his life navigating tempo, silence, tension, and release—principles that now shape every watch in the collection. Each piece is designed as an instrument: precise, expressive, and meant to be lived with.

At the heart of Tempo Time is Moonveil Momentum, our debut collection. Featuring genuine Muonionalusta meteorite dials formed over four billion years ago, each watch carries a fragment of deep space—etched by time long before humanity learned to measure it. No two dials are alike. No moment is repeatable.

Tempo Time is also a family story. Built alongside Thomas’s brother, the brand reflects a shared belief in craftsmanship, discipline, and building something lasting. Where one brings artistic vision and narrative, the other grounds the brand in structure, precision, and execution. Together, they form the balance that defines Tempo Time—emotion and engineering, art and order.

Rooted in Chicago and inspired by the cosmos, Tempo Time exists at the intersection of music, design, and horology. Each watch is part of a larger ecosystem—connected to sound, story, and community through the Tempo Time Suite and the House of Tempo, an evolving collective for those who move through time intentionally.

We don’t chase trends.
We compose them.

Where celestial silence meets earthly cadence.
