The creation of 1776 Atelier is a tribute to the spirit of American ingenuity and passion for fine watchmaking. Founded by dedicated watch collectors with a profound appreciation for the artistry and craftsmanship of horology, 1776 Atelier embodies the belief that greatness in watchmaking transcends geographical boundaries. Just as 1776 symbolizes America’s bold declaration of independence from Great Britain, our brand represents a declaration of excellence in the world of luxury watches. While we honor traditional, time-honored watchmaking techniques, our commitment to creating extraordinary timepieces is rooted in American soil.  Beyond in-house design and assembly, we are proud to be one of the few American Watchmakers offering our own manufacture movements. Caliber 621.1788 and caliber 430.1803 are constructed using >70% American-made parts with our own proprietary bridges and plates. Gears are transformed in house. Every component from setting levers, main spring barrels  to Jewel sinks are meticulously finished. Some undergo snailing while others are treated to satiné circulare depending on the finish that best suits our unique designs.   Every-single-component is touched in some way or form. No off the shelf-parts are leveraged. The entire movement is finished regulated right here in Texas. We employ traditional hand-finishing techniques that enable us to offer exquisitely finished mechanical masterpieces at values unheard of in the industry. 1776 Atelier stands as a testament to American skill and vision, proving that horological brilliance is not confined to any single nation but can flourish anywhere talent and passion unite.
