At 47, most people might hesitate to take a leap into the unknown. But for Hagley West CEO and co-founder, Tim Hayden, that’s exactly what he did—choosing to abandon a steady, comfortable income in favour of following his true passion for creativity and entrepreneurship.

Armed with nothing more than a deep desire to create something meaningful, Tim took his first steps toward building Hagley West. Working from his kitchen with a small team and an even smaller budget, he set out to design the stylish, minimalist watch range that now defines the brand. The journey wasn’t easy, but Tim was driven by a belief that creativity, coupled with persistence, could transform his vision into reality.

Tim took on the challenge of building a community around his passion. Starting on Instagram, he focused on engaging with an audience that shared his love for both cricket and watches. Slowly but surely, he built a loyal following, connecting with people who resonated with his personal story and Hagley West's ethos of loving the journey.

But Tim's journey took an unexpected turn this week. After making his first steps onto TikTok, an emerging platform known for its rapid-fire content, something incredible happened—his story went viral. His videos amassed over 350,000 views, captivating a whole new audience and proving that you can succeed in any space, even with limited experience.

Tim’s viral moment is more than just a social media win—it’s a powerful reminder that age, lack of experience, or fear of the unknown should never hold you back from pursuing your dreams. Whether you’re starting a new career, diving into entrepreneurship, or simply exploring a new passion, it’s never too late to take the leap. Tim’s journey shows that with creativity, determination, and the courage to embrace change, you can achieve things you never thought possible.

His story is far from over. As Hagley West continues to grow and connect with more people worldwide, Tim remains committed to sharing the ups and downs of his journey—hoping to inspire others to take that leap of faith, just as he did.
