I know you didn't say American only but given the example in your post I assumed. I recently did a wide search for an all American made watch, and several are trying to move towards all American made but it is almost impossible. I think the closest are RGM which was the first American company to make an in-house movement in over 40 years but they are not cheap. Weiss is a great company, but he is still forced to source some of his movement parts from overseas.

If you want more affordable than those two companies Lum Tec is a small watch company run by Chris Weigand, he is just outside of Cleveland OH and he makes really solid military / Outdoor watches with amazing Lume and incredible design. They don't get lumped into these lists enough but they range in the $500 mark.

Here are some others that are U.S. based although they have to source a lot of their parts and may not fit "affordable".

Oak & Oscar (Chicago)

Vortic Watches

Shinola (Detroit)

Kobold Watch Co.

Nodus (L.A.)

J.N. Shapiro (L.A.)

Resco (Coronado CA)

MK II (PA)

Detroit Watch Company

We need to pull our resources and start our own company!! 🙂

BinLun Crazy-Horse strap. they are like $19 on Amazon, pretty unique, good quality for the money and a lot of colors to choose from.

You selling these ? I’m in ! 😁

Wife homage.... now that is the best idea I've heard in a while!!! LOL

Powerful story man. At the end of the day they are just watches and should be on the bottom of the priority list when hearing a story like yours. Thanks for sharing man.

I was there with you.. then said "eh, it can't hurt to check it out" It is sharp man.. these companies are doing something right. The bracelet on these are worth the $65 alone IMHO. The movement is my only concern on this one, how long it will last etc., it's a Dixmont-GuanGzhou movement, not very good, but man it is sharp looking. They make some quartz models that are homages as well that are solid. I have gone over to the dark side..

I don't believe the store only purchase model is the reason for supply and demand issues, it's a symptom of it and just saying i'm not a fan of it. You are right they didn't sell them online I was saying they set up the store in plans to do so. Over a year and 5 months later they still haven't, maybe it is all by design and production isn't a problem, as mentioned above by other posters, but it is either production issues, or keeping it exclusive, either way I wish they were more readily avail.
