The Bay Pilot’s unique nautical character has utilitarian intentions, as it was designed for the seasoned harbor experts of the Chesapeake Bay, responsible for guiding large ships into safe passage. The instrument’s wide and luminous display provides clear readability in all light conditions, while the high-grade 42mm stainless steel case, water proof to 5 ATM, ensures everlasting durability. We have also implemented a large crown for easy adjustment. The Bay Pilot is powered by a manual 17 jewel manual-wound Unitas/ETA Cal. 6498 movement that can be viewed through the sapphire crystal exhibitionist case-back. The rare Unitas/ETA movement pays tribute to early innovations in American watchmaking , as its former version was a breakthrough work of horological technology in the USA a century ago. Production limited to 100 pieces.

The Towson Driver is a limited production heritage piece that takes a look back at early 20th century American timepieces designed for usage on the road. The off-centered dial allows for a clearer read when the hand is placed in the proper automobile steering position. This timepiece is yet another that was produced in collaboration with Jochen Benzinger, the master guilloche artist out of Germany and longtime friend of TWC founder, Hartwig Balke. The outer dial is made of solid sterling silver, with applied black indices atop of the elegant brushed finish. The inner dial is uniquely skeletonized, exhibiting a dynamic layout of hand-guilloche outer-dials that overlap with one another, forming a sense of single-plane sculptural abstraction. The skeletonized dial also features rose gold elements, adding a formal elegance to the timepiece. Last but least, a lone second hand, painted in red, completes the complex aesthetic with a bold statement of contrasting tone. This piece is no longer available as only 20 of them were made between 2006-2010. Produced in either solid white gold or rose gold.

This edition of the Towson Classic was made in a limited production of ten pieces. Featuring a 42mm stainless steel case, hand-guilloche sterling silver dial, and a 17j high-grade Swiss movement. Every component of this watch was handcrafted from start to finish, including the movement, which was taken apart and put back together with artistic custom parts made by TWC watchmakers. The traditional dial contrasts with the highly detailed movement that is glittered in sold gold embellishments, which can be admired by the sapphire crystal exhibitionist case back. This detailing was done in collaboration with Jochen Benzinger, the master dial maker and long-time TWC collaborator out of Germany.

An outstanding Full-Skeleton made back in 2019, with a limited production of 20 pieces. Each dial piece features masterful hand-guilloche, producing a dynamic, yet intricate visual on the face.

The plate was engine turned and rhodium plated while gold detailing was hand applied. Every TWC Skeleton has a different artwork on the movement, some of which are rose gold plated while others are white gold. The intricacies of each movement detailing also widely vary between pieces, as some feature more spacing while others are tightly packed with decorative elements.
