Well, spotting a gap in the market for attractive and stylish men’s watches, the Hudson River Watch Co. have passed their Kickstarter exam with flying colours and are now fully-fledged members of the watchmaking fraternity. And I for one, salute them. Because they have released a whole host of devilishly attractive men’s watches that come in at under $500 but, truth be told, wouldn’t look out of place sitting side by side next to some of the so-called luxury brands.
Conceived and followed through to fruition by New Yorker, Robert Willis, these eye-catching timepieces take their inspiration from various streets to be found in Manhattan and there’s no denying that they boast the sort of visual flair of a watch costing thrice the price. In conjunction with his designer wife, Willis has come up with some fantastically sartorial and elegant watches that, despite their lower price-tag, don’t compromise on quality.
Hudson River Watch Co. watches have a Swiss-made ETA movement as their beating heart, sapphire crystal glass casing and are water-resistant to 150ft. These exemplary watches are timeless and classically stylish and, safe to say, they’ve found a fan of their offerings in me. Take a look at a few of their best below:
