RGM will mark its 30th year making watches next year in 2022. Overall those years we have made a lot of custom watches for our clients, but we never had a client order a pocket watch until the last few years. Then in the span of two years, we made 3 custom pocket watches each with our in-house 801 movement. We love working on new projects and creating watches for our clients, and working closely with them to achieve their vision while using our experience to make the best watch we can for them.
Custom is not a cost savings way to buy a watch, but it is and can be a very special way to mark a time in your life or create the watch you have dreamed of. For those who choose to go down this road, it can be a very special opportunity to have a unique watch that will last for generations and can be handed down through your family.
I have always loved pocket watches and I wondered for years why no one ever ordered one. Even if no one ever orders one again it’s nice to have worked on these special projects and created these lasting treasures.
