Other auxiliary parts, i.e. the gaskets, o-rings, bracelets, crystals, and inserts, are sourced from suppliers in Asia. The movement is Swiss (Sellita). We do our best to fabricate the main parts here. But there are just certain things like the gaskets, and crystals which we just don’t make here.

After the completion of each watch, it goes through a series of final tests including water resistance test, cosmetic QC, and a final timing accuracy and power reserve test on a winder, by ourselves before shipping. Although the watch is a hybrid in the strictest sense in terms of country of origin, We are very proud of the fact that not only the watches are assembled here, many of the main parts are also machined here, hence “Hand Built in America”.

We run a very lean operation (no shop/storefront or additional personnel) so we can focus the majority of the cost on production. The downside is that since I also have to handle customer service and emails, customers may not receive immediate replies. I spend the majority of my day at the workbench (13 plus hours) and only come to the computer desk after I finish my work at the workbench or when I take a break from building watches. On the other hand, the very person who sold the watches is the one who built the watches. We take pride in the fact this company is owned and operated by watchmakers/machinists.
