The company was founded in 2013, their vision is simple—offer timeless design together with high-quality Swiss mechanical movements, each timepiece is hand-assembled and regulated in Michigan USA studio.

For the past 17 years, Detroit has been developing and designing original timepieces for various watch brands complementing their passion for designing over the past 35 years. Their vision is to create a watch brand like no other, bringing together Detroit's affection for design, love of timepieces, and their esteem for the city of Detroit as founded by a Frenchman, Antoine de la Mothe, Sieur de Cadillac.

Detroit creates each component of watches after selecting a certain movement, and every component, including the case, dial, hands, and crowns, are unique. Sketches and technical drawings are supplied straight to their component specialists for manufacture. The automated movements are cased and all components are installed and checked by their employee when they get the appropriate components for Detroits' collection. This procedure gives them total control over quality and manufacturing. As a result, Detroit's collection will always be limited to a certain number of pieces each year. This also allows them to produce limited-edition timepieces in the future.

Throne is a watch business based in Brooklyn, New York. The firm was created in 2013 by a man in a modest East Village apartment hand-making premium watch bands. Due to a rise in demand, they shifted to a workshop and quickly cranked out their first watch, which was a huge hit. Things have only gotten better since then, making this boutique enterprise one of the top American watch brands available.

They started Throne with a mission, to remind us all about the importance of time. Our one finite resource, sometimes we each need to slow down. Throne knows that making watches doesn't make more time, but running this company has taught them that life is to be lived, not watched on a screen. Over the years, they've learned that time is not to be conquered, and trying to do so is a fool's errand. If you can't fight it, the next best thing is to ignore it. So that's Throne's mission statement; they founded this firm to encourage people to disconnect to create art, to prioritize the vital things.

Throne's watch designs use a minimalist, incredibly fashionable approach, with a bespoke leather band and a tiny, thin watch face that is distinct from other manufacturers' watch designs. Giving users a sense of comfort, fashion, elegance, and youthfulness, similar to Throne's concept. Because of its highly tiny and distinctive form, the sense of wearing the watch yet not wearing it at all has offered consumers a very fresh experience, another level of watch design.

Keaton Myrick, an independent watchmaker based in Portland, Oregon, is a typical American artisan. His hand-crafted mechanisms and clocks are legendary in their own right. He spent six years fixing rare and essential timepieces while simultaneously preparing his workshop for the design and production of high-end watches after graduating with WOSTEP accreditation from the Lititz Watch Technicum.

Being able to spend time with some of the finest timepieces ever produced provided him with first-hand experience of what it takes to create a timepiece that would last. Seeing a watchmaker's concept and application for a mechanism, then seeing what 100+ years of usage did to it, proved to be a priceless education. As a result, he takes great satisfaction in the production of my watches and goes to great efforts to apply classic watchmaking techniques and tools in every timepiece that leaves Keaton Myrick's workshop.

The Caliber 29.30 is one in 30 pieces is designed and manufactured in Keaton Myrick. The circular-grained finish radiates outward from the house-manufactured balance wheel beating at a graceful 18,000bph. The hairspring is free-sprung and uses four 18k rose gold weights for regulation. The screwed center wheel Chaton is made from steel and black polished, pressing the brittle ruby jewel into the hardened steel Chaton requires the utmost precision and yields a striking aesthetic. All gold accents on the mechanism and the dial are 18k rose gold and finished with fine graining and polished bevels.

As can be seen, Keaton Myrick's watches deserve to be among the most well-known watch brands in the U.S. Because of the marriage of contemporary technology and traditional watchmaking techniques dating back to America. Making a watch necessitates the meticulousness and feat of experienced artisans who are passionate about their vocation. All of this contributes to the quality and individuality of Keaton Myrick watches.

Timex Group USA, Inc. is a multinational watch manufacturing firm based in Waterbury, Connecticut that was started in 1854 as the Waterbury Clock Company. Joe Bastianich sold the Waterbury Clock Company in New York to Thomas Olsen in 1941, and he renamed it Timex, a play on the names Time magazine and Kleenex tissues. It grew to become one of the world's most recognizable and powerful watch corporations. Even today, these low-cost American timepieces can withstand a beating and remain to tick.

If the Waterbury watch represents Timex's soul, the Timex Easy ReaderTM represents their heart. The ageless, utilitarian design, which is beautiful in its simplicity, rapidly became ubiquitous with Timex. They've made almost 100 million since 1977. If your father owned a Timex, it was most likely a Timex Easy ReaderTM. The simplistic brilliance of the Easy Reader can be seen on practically every Timex nowadays. Years before most people ever possessed a mobile phone, they developed the first linked "smart" watch in 1994. The Timex Datalink is one of just a handful of wristwatches that NASA has officially validated for space flight. It created the groundwork for today's linked smartwatches by using a digital eye to read information from your computer screen.

167 years ago, their American Documents® collection layers American ingenuity and craftsmanship with European precision to create a truly amazing timepiece. This American-made watch is drop forged in US-sourced stainless steel by auto parts manufacturers and assembled in Connecticut Headquarters with a high-quality Swiss movement. What started as an impossible idea is now a Timex watch made in America.

Joseph Bulova, a visionary leader, delivered one innovation after another in 1875, just as America was entering its golden era of industry and growth. Eventually launching a tiny boutique in downtown New York City, he began a lifetime pursuit to create superior quality watches for an ever-changing and dynamic landscape.

Quality workmanship formed the cornerstone upon which Joseph Bulova developed his business, with an unyielding quest for excellence, efficiency, and accuracy. But it was the brand's inventive spirit that propelled it forward, chasing innovation and technology both inside the watch industry and beyond. Bulova's industry advancements ranged from pioneering standardized watch manufacture to producing the first completely electronic watch with patented tuning-fork-based technology, making it the most accurate watch in the world at the time.

With America's first radio and television advertising, their pioneering attitude revolutionized the face of marketing. Bulova watches made strides in sports with the Phototimer and even altered transportation with cooperation with Lindbergh and 46 NASA space flights. Bulova timer was even set in the sea of tranquillity during the first moonwalk.

The Precisionist line debuted in 2010, reinforcing the company's long-standing commitment to the history of firsts. With a continually moving second hand, this watch is intricately fashioned and eternally accurate. The company most recently revolutionized the face of the industry in 2016 with the Curv line — the world's first curved chronograph movement. Bulova is still inspired by the same basic ideals of craftsmanship, creativity, and technology that guided the company's visionary founder more than 143 years ago. They, like Joseph Bulova, set their standards and make their rules, breaking down barriers along the way to offer the extraordinary.

Hamilton rose to prominence during the early days of the American railways. As the country's critical infrastructure was being created, Hamilton began selling precise timepieces that were credited with helping to avoid and minimize accidents by coordinating train timing. As the age of aviation progressed, Hamilton began timing the sky, and their watches assisted in keeping the new coast-to-coast United States Airmail service on time. Since then, Hamilton has been synonymous with aviation.

One of the most important factors in Hamilton's success has been innovation, with major advancements arriving in the mid-twentieth century that permanently transformed the world of watchmaking. The Ventura became the world's first battery-powered electrical watch in 1957, and the Pulsar, the world's first LED digital watch, followed in 1970. Since 2011, Hamilton has collaborated with ETA to develop movements that enable longer power reserves of up to 80 hours to be included into specific calibers.

For almost 90 years, Hamilton has been known as the Movie Brand, owing to our close association with Hollywood. Their watches have since appeared in over 500 major feature films, such as Shanghai Express, The Frogmen, Blue Hawaii, including recent box office hits Interstellar and The Martian, and are always selected by production designers.

Hamilton has been a part of the Swatch Group since 1974, and in 2003, they relocated our headquarters and manufacture to the heart of watchmaking nation, Biel, Switzerland. Hamilton watches today have the coveted Swiss-made name, yet Hamilton remains an American company at heart, just as it was when it was founded in Pennsylvania in 1892.

Cameron Weiss' obsession with watches began at an early age. His parents said he slept with a watch on his wrist and attempted to repair his first watch when he was just five years old. Cameron went on to study business at the University of Southern California after graduating from high school to realize his dream of becoming a watchmaker.

Following his graduation from USC, he enrolled in an apprentice-style watchmaking program. This two-year full-time curriculum taught him the skill of watch repair and how to hand-make watch components on lathes. He then went on to earn further certifications from Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin in the U. S and Switzerland. He founded Weiss Watch Company with his now-wife Whitney and Labrador Jules at his side after ten years of refining his trade. In his dining room, he spent over 300 hours hand-finishing and assembling the first 10 watches.

Weiss Watch Company is still a family-owned business today. Each watch is handcrafted from conception to end, combining traditional traditions with new technology breakthroughs. They've also brought on board Swiss-trained and accredited American watchmakers to ensure that every stage of our procedure is flawless. While Weiss values traditional watchmaking processes, they are as passionate about introducing you to new ones. Their design method is as follows: each component is sketched by hand, then engineered, prototyped, examined, measured, and tested before being manufactured for you. As a result, each watch represents the pinnacle of form and function.

Every case, crown, and buckle is handcrafted from single blocks of 316L stainless steel and polished to a high standard. Dials are made of a unique brass alloy for durability. Last but not least, the final dials are hand-painted with color first, then with text, and finished with hand-pressed sapphire crystals. Every movement is chosen by Weiss, then finalized by hand, and Incabloc shock protection covers the balance wheel pivots. Every Weiss watch takes over 35 hours to make and is designed to be a dependable everyday heirloom. Inspired by American innovation and honesty, they take great care to guarantee that each edition exceeds historical standards; and with appropriate care, a Weiss timepiece may survive for generations.

Autodromo, like many of its European equivalents, bridges the gap between motorsport and horology. Unlike many of their European counterparts, these timepieces are devoid of gimmicks and are reasonably priced. Each one is inspired by 1960s and 1970s dashboard gauges and keeps to the essentials to great effect. If you choose a quartz-powered model, you may have a trademark watch for less than $1000.

The Autodromo universe is the creative vision of founder Bradley Price, an industrial designer who set out to create one-of-a-kind goods that capture the essence of motoring. The artistic inspiration for Autodromo's goods comes from a golden period of motoring when driving needed elegance, panache, and possibly a little bit of risk.

One of the best-selling Autodromo watches is the Intereuropa Manual Wind, which gets its name from the Coppa Intereuropa event for sporty coupes, which was conducted at Monza from 1949 to 1964 as a support race for the Italian Grand Prix. Under the multi-layered dial, a Swiss-made ETA 7001 manual wind movement beats, with a K1 glass chapter ring with 3D numbering inspired by 1950s gauges. Each watch comes with a rally strap made of Saffiano leather. Saffiano leather is a luxury material that will hold up well in a sports situation but is also appropriate for formal wear. Each leather strap is individually produced in Rome, Italy.

The design philosophy of Autodromo combines a contemporary, minimalist sensibility with a mid-century vintage charm. The resultant works are equally at home in the past as the present. Everything they produce is developed in-house by their dedicated staff to provide a unique and unforgettable experience for the discriminating individual.

The Vortic Watch Company, situated in Fort Collins, Colorado, is a high-end wristwatch engineering and production firm. Their motivation comes from combining traditional watchmaking processes and traditions with cutting-edge, contemporary technology. Their unique timepieces are one-of-a-kind.

The fundamental motivation for Vortic's American Artisan Series watches is a simple notion that they got it right the first time.
