    $5,300.00 for a 2893-2....

    Rolex or this?

    And... All Sales are Final; I thought this only applied to Custom Made Watches, such as one of a kind, special orders...etc...

    The Bozeman Watch Company ships watches via FedEx and they go out overnight and are fully insured.

    Ship: FedEx

    (We have jeweler’s rates and FULLY INSURE the watches we send out, but it is TRUE that we can’t ship to PO Boxes)

    Shipping & Handling Shipping will be added to your order.

    Thank you for your order. All sales are final. Total $5,300.00

    By continuing to checkout, you authorize the Bozeman Watch Company to charge my credit card the exact amount of applicable shipping charge. The Bozeman Watch Company will include shipping and credit card receipts.

    Bizarre candlestick hands on that one. Otherwise, it looks a bit like the bastard love child of a Hamilton and an Oris.

    I learn new things every day about watches...

    Watches classed like Ships.

    American Made watch movements, submitted for COSC?

    30 individual ratings from COSC?

    I thought Observatory Status was the highest????


    Our Story...

    The Bozeman Watch Company is one of the few companies designing exclusive timepieces in the United States, where, today, such precision design and manufacture is essentially non-existent. When Christopher Wardle set out to design and manufacture the "Montana Class Watch Collection", he knew his original American marvels necessitated the finest movements available coupled with meticulous manufacturing techniques to attain a watch collection of unique and rare proportion, and so the BWC set their sights on brining the standards of Old World watch making excellence together with the innovative spirit of America.

    Over many months of meetings, vision became design as words were transformed into intricately worked sketches and the inaugural timepieces of the "Montana Class Watch Collection" – the SmokeJumper Chronograph, the Sidewinder and Schofield, and complimentary men’s and women’s Gallatin – began to take shape. Armed with a design portfolio and an overwhelming enthusiasm for the new venture, Mr. Wardle traveled to Germany and Switzerland, literally showing up on doorsteps to interview prospective componentry suppliers.

    Persistence paid dividends as relationships born of mutual respect began to develop and the many moving parts began to work in tandem. The sketches soon became prototypes and the first watch design a real, tangible product; the SmokeJumper Chronograph. Endorsed by the Montana-based National Smokejumper Association, the very limited line launched the opening of the store in downtown Bozeman, Montana in December, 2005.


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "The Bozeman Watch Company Commitment"

    The Bozeman Watch Company is committed to manufacturing the most accurate and rare collection of automatic-mechanical timepieces available today. With models produced in collector's runs of no more than 100 individual pieces, each of the "Montana Class Watch Collection" is limited to only the most discerning clientele worldwide. Each watch model of the "Montana Class Watch Collection" is a certified Swiss chronometer - the highest level of distinction a mechanical timepiece can attain for accuracy in timekeeping, and the most coveted distinction a timepiece can ever earn.

    Pre-assembly, each movement undergoes 15 days of continous testing, regulation and calibration by an independant, third-party control agency known as the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in the Valle' de Joux, Switzerland.

    This process includes almost thirty individual ratings that are derived from a series of continous tests at a number of temperatures and angles

    The certification process is only undertaken by and awarded to 3% of the entire Swiss mechanical movement market, and in the American market next to 0, a proportion that "underscores the exceptional nature of a chronometer.

    To earn chronometer certification, a movement must not only be made from the highest quality components, but also be the object of special care on part of the finest watchmakers and timers during assembly."(courtesy Wikipedia)

    The pricing reminds me of watches sold as "Made In The USA" but actually from Million Smart Enterprises.

    There's plenty of fish in the pond for this kind of money. I'm surprised to see some models advertised as "Sold Out". :?

    Made in the USA as in concept only.

    I emailed the owner of the company, asked him specific questions, and then asked him how he got started. All I received was this…and I quote…“Lotsa trips to Switzerland…

    His information was elusive and secretive like he was talking about the “Holy Grail”…
