About Clicky Bezel
A watch shop built by people who still nerd out about watches.
What started as a YouTube channel about watches became a physical home for the community that grew around it, first in San Francisco and soon in Costa Mesa.
How it started
A YouTube channel about watches
Clicky Bezel began as a YouTube channel started by founder Chris Tran and his love for watches and the stories behind them. A lot of the inspiration came from Chris’s travels to Japan, where he experienced a watch culture that appreciates craftsmanship and thoughtful design at every level, from everyday watches to rare independent pieces.

What started online grew into something bigger. A physical watch store for enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone curious about watches. A place to discover new watches, talk about them, and connect with people who share the same passion.
What's next
A second home in Orange County, CA
Clicky Bezel is entering its next chapter with a second location coming to Costa Mesa, Orange County. We’re taking everything we learned from San Francisco and building a bigger experience for the watch community in Southern California.
At its core, Clicky Bezel is about bringing the love of watches into the real world. A place where great watches, good conversations, and a community of people who love this hobby can all come together.
Meet the Team
The Clicky Bezel Crew
Everyone here collects, wears, and talks watches on their own time. Here’s what’s currently on our wrists and on our minds.
“I've always been drawn to the Explorer, especially the 14270 — clean, purposeful, quietly confident. But the 1016 takes that further. It does one thing and does it perfectly.”
“I was immediately drawn to how minimal it feels for a perpetual calendar. The dial has a depth that's hard to capture in photos — understated, but incredibly thoughtful.”
“It keeps the classic G-Shock shape, but the rainbow brick pattern and dark metal case give it a subtle edge. It was also a gift from my wife.”
“It carries the Speedmaster DNA but adds a layer of complexity with the moonphase and full calendar.”
Come see it in person.
