The hands and crowns are 14k gold while the strap (on this specific piece) is hand-made and decorated. This model is from the 1930 collection and comes in a sterling silver case with mother-of-pearl dial. Unlike brands like RGM, Montana isnвЂ™t trying to focus on movements, but rather the more decorative elements of watches such as the case, dial, and strap. American designed watches with US art and Swiss movements. Montana Watch Company is a brand still new to me, though I have a lot of respect for the niche product they offer. This feels like a fancy cowboy watch, and it is. Here in Los Angeles you donвЂ™t get a whole lot of stuff that feels distinctly вЂњstarts and stripes.вЂќ Wearing this hand-engraved in America Montana Watch Company timepiece is clearly an exotic choice. It is out there, and I am no expert on where to find it. So what of our craft and creativity? Where is the art of Americana. Items such as that feel increasingly rare. When at a store seeing something вЂњmade in America,вЂќ it makes me stop and think, and feel grateful. These are probably among the most rare items and are highly collectible вЂ“ just look at the auction market for antique American made furniture.

Especially when something is an American made high-end functional craft. I think the term has even higher value today that it ever has. So what does вЂњMade in AmericaвЂќ still mean? I guess the US is still good at making food. The Japanese and Germans started to steal much of the show, and more recently the Chinese have swooped in to replace the majority of manufacturing when it comes to the most basic, non-perishable good. During the 1970s and 1980s the automotive industry unfortunately damaged the reputation of US manufacturing beyond repair. A combination of factors including high labor costs and globalization have resulted in the US manufacturing ideal to be withered away significantly. Different being the key term, especially here in the US. The world is now different for better or for worse.

People in America always wanted stuff that was made here, and unless a good was highly specialized, we would look to foreign-made goods with skepticism. Since the industrial revolution the US has time and time again affirmed itself as the prime innovator of high technology, manufacturing efficiency, and innovation. вЂњAmerican madeвЂќ was once a source of pride and indication of quality and value.

After my bank transfer, in 2 days I have received my great watch, absolutely new as in the description and very happy about this purchase :-) I can highly recommend the Timepiece Bank! La prima volta che ho comprato un orologio cosi costoso in internet, ma nonostante le mie perocupazioni, andato tutto benissimo! Dopo il pagamento tramite banca, in due giorni ho ricevuto il mio orologio Omega Seamaster, tutto era come la descrizione sul sito, nuovo, mai indossato e sono contentissima di questo aquisto :-) Vorrei ringraziare David Cypers di Timepiece Bank, e` una persona cordiale e disponibile, mi ha risposto subito a tutte le mie e-mail, anche di sera tardi.вЂњAmerican made,вЂќ the term certainly doesnвЂ™t mean what it used to. It was my first experience to buy so expensive thing like this online, but despite my worrying, everything worked out perfect :) The description was perfectly correct, I would like to thank Mr.David Cypers from Timepiece Bank, he was very helpful and replied very fast - even in the evening late. I bought an Omega Seamaster Watch at the Timepiece Bank. Great shopping experience for high class watch! Un servizio pereftto, serieta e grande scelta di orologi alto livello!
