In the 90s working and learning with Bernard Gallet of the legendary Gallet Watch Co. —the world's oldest watch house. We produced a baseball line featuring Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb under the Legends in Time brand and produced a little over 1,200 beautiful timepieces. After operating a few jewelry stores, and having sold my Baseball card shop in Trenton in the late 1980s it was a natural evolution for me to join watches and baseball to create highly collectible watches. A US Patent was issued for my Baseball Pocket Watch with Gallet developing the cases per my specs using the famous Unitas 6498. Only 4 type A examples were made as prototypes of the Georgia Peach. Being a bit cost prohibitive we opted for the proven Ronda HPC cal#763 movements.
When I set out to build Legendary Man® home plate wrist watches, I wanted to combine that exact rigorous Swiss precision with raw American history. We don't just build watches. We incorporate custom-modifed movements to frame actual pieces of hallowed baseball ground.
Designed and individually hand-assembled right here in the USA by a watchmaker trained with the lineage of the historic Gallet Watch Co., every Legendary Man® timepiece is built to rigorous horological standards in very limited runs.
Because genuine stadium seat wood carries a historic thickness, standard off-the-shelf components simply wouldn't cut it. The custom, patented Home Plate-shaped case is specifically engineered to house a modified Swiss movement, marrying rugged American past-time artifacts with precision European engineering.
