Rebirth of an American Legend
The South Bend Watch Company crafted over a million timepieces when watchmaking was at the heart of the American manufacturing industry. Today, we are building on this legacy with modern wristwatches inspired by the timeless pocket watches of the early 1900s.
The South Bend Wristwatch...
A modern wristwatch inspired by the iconic American timepieces of the early 1900s. Like its pocket watch predecessors, it features a hand-wound mechanical movement and a timeless dial with a small second hand at six-o'clock.

"The Watch with the Purple Ribbon"
South Bend watches were coveted for their accuracy and dependability, and were trusted by railroads to keep trains running safe and on time. These ticking machines were also a beauty to behold and immediately recognizable by the purple ribbon that adorned their packaging.
...from one of America's finest watchmakers.
The South Bend Watch Company was the gold standard in the golden age of American watchmaking, crafting a million timepieces from 1903-1929. We are proud to be reviving the brand to once again bring quality watch manufacturing back to the U.S.A.
