America's Finest Watchmaking for Modern Collectors
Towson Watch Company has pioneered the microbrand industry with signature models like the CHOPTANK. Now, we're excited to introduce its smaller sibling—the TALBOT—a nod to our past and a step into the future.
The TALBOT is the first Towson Watch designed with female collectors in mind, yet it also caters to men who appreciate more refined, elegant timepieces. This model was designed to make a lasting impression, merging Towson's old-school manufacturing techniques with distinguished brand identity. In marrying the excitement of pop art with fashion—known for its vibrant, eye-catching visuals—the TALBOT makes an unmistakable statement. It’s a celebration of our heritage and an invitation to collectors old and new to experience the craftsmanship and storytelling that define Towson Watch Company.
Drawing its name from Lady Grace Talbot and the storied history of Talbot County, located on the Choptank River in Maryland's Chesapeake Bay, the model carries a legacy of artistry and storytelling. Its distinctive design reinterprets the classic rectangular watch, offering a fresh yet enduring expression of handmade luxury.
The rectangular watch has long been an alternative expression of sophistication and elegance. Traditionally, it is a timepiece designed to complement formal attire, subtly revealing itself beneath the cuff at just the right moments, embodying a sense of understated luxury. Its refined silhouette sets it apart from the more common round watches, making it a timeless, yet tasteful, icon in the world of horology.
In recent decades, the rectangular watch has evolved, extending beyond its classical associations with formal dress to embrace modern trends. Even in the world of smartwatches, the rectangular form has found a place, bringing a blend of functionality, style and casual wearability to everyday life.
As fashion and cultural norms have shifted towards more relaxed styles, the rectangular watch has also adapted, taking on new aesthetic functions. Once the exclusive domain of formal occasions, it now embodies versatility, balancing modernity with tradition. Its presence in contemporary collections signifies not just a nod to the past, but a redefinition of how elegance can be worn today.
A LASTING INVESTMENT in the TWC Brand for your personal collection.
Born from the celebrated lineage of the CHOPTANK, the TALBOT reinterprets a classic TWC design for a new generation.
