Martin


The Martin M-130 China Clipper flew across the Pacific for the very first time in 1935, forever opening the skies to commercial flight. The aircraft was built by Glenn L. Martin Corporation in Baltimore, MD.

Each watch below is built around the cockpit instruments of mid-century American aviation.

Mission


In 1999, a NASA astronaut commissioned Hartwig Balke to make a watch for his STS-99 mission. Our chronometers helped prove the efficacy of automatic movements in outer-space. Ever since, the same 7750 calibers have been used in each of the Mission Chronographs below.


Special Editions

The CHOPTANK is a tonneau-shaped chronograph inspired by the screwpile lighthouses that once lined the Choptank River.

Full calendar, chronograph, and moonphase laid out symmetrically on a handmade silver dial. Blue galvanic sub-dials separate the complications for clarity.

Platinum hands and markers, single-fold deployment clasp. Built and finished in Maryland from components made in Pforzheim.

Towson Watch Company Founders


“I started life as a watchmaker in 1948. Hartwig started out as an engineer. We work together well because he essentially does the design and engineering work that I can’t do. But I’ve had a lot of experience doing restoration of antique watches for museums. These are 200 to 300 year-old timepieces. We have both ends of the technical spectrum covered, from current engineering to an understanding of watchmaking 500 years ago.”
