American Pilot Watch

Hartwig Balke, one of the founders of Towson Watch Company

Pilot watches were born in the cockpit—tools of pure utility. Oversized crowns, stark numerals, bold contrasts—each detail had a reason. But over time, the genre was polished to fit the luxury world: silver, black, and simplified. The raw aesthetic of flight instruments gave way to boardroom refinement.

At Towson Watch Company, we return to the source—not to reinvent, but to respect. Our American Pilot Watch collection brings back the color, clarity, and character that defined aviation’s golden age. There’s a quiet elegance in function-driven design—and a luxury that doesn’t need to announce itself.

Built in Maryland by real watchmakers, each piece in the collection speaks fluently in the language of utility. No nostalgia for its own sake—just a faithful continuation of what made the pilot watch iconic in the first place.

Martin M-130

Color Returns to the Cockpit

The Martin M-130 draws directly from the flight instruments of 1930s American aircraft—when colors weren’t decorative, they were directive. Red meant danger, blue meant climb, yellow meant fuel. These weren’t aesthetic decisions—they were survival cues. The M-130 brings that color language back, paired with cathedral hands, a matte black dial, and oversized numerals built for quick reads in turbulent skies.

This isn’t a stylized reinterpretation—it’s a tribute to the true visual language of flight. Designed to look how real pilot instruments once looked, and built to wear like a serious mechanical tool.

NORTH•er

A Mechanical Compass with a Second Timezone

The North.er is more than a pilot watch—it’s a navigational device. With a true GMT complication and 24-hour compass bezel, it allows you to track time across two zones while aligning yourself with geographic north using the sun. It’s a field instrument for the traveler, the flyer, the hiker—the one who moves across time and terrain with purpose.

Originally designed for long-distance flight and international travel, the GMT has become a practical luxury in our modern lives. The North.er makes that function mechanical, tactile, and personal—right on the wrist.

Bay Pilot

For Pilots of the Chesapeake

Baltimore’s harbor pilots—tasked with navigating ships through narrow, unpredictable waters—relied on precision, visibility, and trust in their tools. The Bay Pilot honors that legacy, applying classic pilot watch DNA to the maritime world. A clean, high-contrast dial. Sharp hands that command visibility. And a case that’s as comfortable on deck as in the cockpit.

This isn’t a loose reinterpretation—it’s a regional application of a time-tested form. The Bay Pilot shows how pilot watch principles endure, even where there are no wings involved.

Built for legibility, reliability, and mechanical purity—with no compromises, no gimmicks, and no apologies. This is the American Pilot Watch as it was meant to be. Made in Maryland. Made to be used.
