ABOUT SUSSEX:

Water is one of our most fundamental needs. But at Sussex we believe the tap that conveys it should satisfy our appetite for aesthetic perfection. Each Sussex tap is therefore an exquisite object, finely honed by the artisans in our Melbourne workshop to express your individual tastes. The result is a classic piece that brings you pleasure each time you experience its timeless beauty.

The journey from a solid block of recycled brass to precision-crafted masterpiece is a slow and careful one. Each component passes through the knowing hands of a seasoned craftsman and beneath the watchful eye of an exacting quality evaluator. Only the most perfect work leaves our workshop bearing the Sussex signature of approval.

OUR STORY: Handed Down from Generation to Generation

Dutchman Nicolaas Johannes van Putten arrived in Australia in 1960 with business ambitions and a talent for watchmaking. Nick turned his hand to jewellery, developing a precision process to create earrings, which he exported worldwide. In the 1990s he diversified into tap making, employing 25 staff.

Today Sussex is in the capable and caring hands of Nick’s family. For the new Sussex generation customisation and the expression of individual tastes are exciting motivators for continued innovation. Yet while they have an eye to the future, they uphold Nick’s legacy of quality and precision.
