Bozeman Watch Company
The Bozeman Watch Company of Bozeman, Montana, is an American company that designs and engineers its own timepieces and has its mechanical components certified by the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC) certified timepieces.
==History==
From the 1850s to the 1950s, America was the predominant manufacturing center for quality and affordable mechanical watches. After WWII, Switzerland advanced its position in the industry ahead of the USA with gauge making experience and machinery which was used for military vehicles. Christopher F. Wardle, originally a native of Michigan and a collector of mechanical timepieces, discovered during his exploits that American watch companies, were all but extinct in the industry. This fact led him to write a business plan in 1994, whereby American innovation could be reintroduced to the watch making industry. In 2001 Wardle sought out an industrial designer to help put his vision and original watch designs to paper. Having been a collector of many American brands and having the desire to keep the models reminiscent of the mid 20th century styles, Wardle started to clinch concepts into designs and after several years of hard work in 2005, introduced the first timepiece, the Smokejumper Chronograph. Incredibly, the Missoula-based National Smokejumper Association (www.smokejumpers.com) endorsed Bozeman Watch Company's Smokejumper Chronograph as the official watch of the wild fire fighter's organization. In 2005, the company opened its first exclusive showroom in Bozeman Montana, USA. In 2008, the company expanded its Michigan design staff and started expanding its ability to create original engineering data, tooling and suppliers to ramp up its model lineup for its expanded showroom plans. In 2010, the Bozeman Watch Company opened another dealer in Whitefish Montana.
The Bozeman Watch Company creates data, tooling and original parts for each new watch model. Staying away from standard production parts, the company takes up to 3 years to design and take to market any of its watch models.
Where many watch makers buy out of catalogs, BWC uses tiny parts that are made for their company exclusively". “In 2005 the company opened its first showroom in downtown Bozeman.” It has recently expanded their showrooms to Whitefish, Mt and as of July 2011 Jackson Hole, WY.
