Founded in 1998 by master watchmakers Hartwig Balke and George Thomas, TWC quickly became synonymous with independent American horology. Notable for sending watches aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour and assisting the Smithsonian Institution, the brand exemplified the blend of tradition and innovation. Under Plank’s ownership, Towson maintained its handcrafted, old-school approach, continuing to produce exceptional timepieces while expanding its narrative reach.

The distinction between a genuine watchmaker's craft and the mass-produced, outsourced manufacturing process is crucial to grasp when initiating a collection. It is the human touch, expertise, and dedication of the watchmakers that define a mechanical timepiece today.
