At RGM Watch Company in
Pennsylvania the main creative focus is on the making of luxury
timepieces that are meant to last a lifetime and then some.
RGM produces timeless classics
reminiscent of the old Swiss watchmaking tradition. Just as legendary
Swiss watchmakers personally sold their complicated movements and
expertise to fascinated watch connoisseurs, Roland Murphy, RGM's
American-born founder, is marketing his exclusive collection of
custom-designed, mechanical timepieces with high-quality complications
in the same fashion. Unlike many modern watch brands, the name behind
these masterpieces is alive, well, and willing to personally educate and
inform consumers about his creations.
Cherished by passionate watch collectors,
RGM watches are crafted in extremely small series of 18k yellow or rose
gold, platinum, and stainless steel. They feature hand-finished cases
and such elements as engine-turned (guilloche) dials and blued-steel
hands. In every case they are of the highest quality in their price
range. Most components are Swiss made although some models feature
American and Swiss made components. Every limited-edition watch is
individually numbered and signed.
RGM's reputation rests on its technical
prowess and aesthetic beauty rather than a famous name.
"You' re not likely to see the person
next to you on a airplane wearing an RGM," Mr. Murphy says. "It is an
exclusive timepiece for special collectors."
Mr. Murphy himself has a distinguished
background. He is a 1986 graduate of the famous WOSTEP program in
Switzerland, having previously studied watchmaking at Bowman school in
Lancaster, PA. His dream was to create his own high-quality complicated
watches. That dream began in the late 1980s when Mr. Murphy was working
in product development for a large Swiss watch company. He grew
disillusioned with big watch corporations churning out mediocre watches.
Tired of compromises, he ventured out on a solo quest to produce his own
high quality mechanical watch collection in the spirit of the finest
practitioners of the craft. Mr. Murphy's decision is the watch
collector's reward. The company christened with his initials, RGM,
introduced its first watch in 1993 to rave reviews. Today it is among
the most respected watch brands among serious watch connoisseurs.
