The Towson Watch Company was founded at the beginning of the new millennium, in 2000, by two gentlemen whose passion is working with mechanical time pieces. After 40 years of experience repairing high grade watches, repeaters, chronographs and making his own turbillion watches, George Thomas, a master watchmaker met his partner Hartwig Balke, a graduate in mechanical engineering and talented watchmaker, by chance. In an Irish Pub in Annapolis, after sailors' small talk, Thomas and Balke soon discovered their common love for high grade mechanical watches.

Watches made by Towson Watch Company are not mass-produced, they are made in limited series according to customer's individual wishes. Towson Watch Co. timepieces appeal to watch connoisseurs, collectors, successful people in sports, arts or professionals like engineers, aircraft pilots, astronauts.
