Product Description
The 42mm diameter, 13mm thick stainless steel case was cut from a block of metal in Colorado with you in mind. We inlayed the case-back to make it very comfortable and stonewashed the case so it shows less wear. We added heavy knurling to the crown to make it easy to wind, and yes, it's a screw-down crown to increase the water resistance! The GCT features an automatic movement with 42 hours of power reserve though, so you won't have to wind it often, but you might want to since it feels so smooth...

Mission
Our mission is to preserve and enhance the legacy of manufacturing excellence in America. We believe that this legacy is highly relevant in the world of watch manufacturing because our goal is to marry form and function in a way that makes something beautiful that will last forever. American made pocket watches were of such a high quality and decoration that they evolved into more than just a way to tell time. They became traditional heirlooms to be inherited by future generations as a wedding gift or a coming of age treasure. Each piece tells a lively tale of what U.S. manufacturing meant in the past using an intricate language of decorated bridges, plates, gears, and springs. Today, we are restoring these pieces to their former glory and making them relevant again using the best of modern technology.
American Made
We feel proud and blessed to live in the country, state, and city that we do. However, our motivation to build everything in the United States, and to deal locally whenever possible, is derived from a different source of inspiration. We believe that the close relationships, face-to-face interaction, and tight quality control we achieve while dealing domestically produces a truly superior product. Because of this, we are very transparent about where our components are made as we continue to build our in-house capabilities.
