A DEEP REWIND: The Founders of Towson Watch Company
Towson Watch Company was founded at the beginning of the new millennium in 2000 by two engineers with a passion for mechanical timepieces. After 40 years of experience repairing complicated, delicate and historic timepieces, our founding master horologist, George Thomas, met his partner, Hartwig Balke, a graduate in mechanical engineering and talented designer. In an Irish Pub in Annapolis after sailors’ small talk, Thomas and Balke soon discovered their common love for high grade mechanical watches.
