Menswear legend Todd Snyder debuts watches with epic American collab

Bringing watchmaking to America

Todd Snyder is the master of the man’s makeover. With ties to brands like Ralph Lauren, The Gap, and J. Crew, he had a long history in the industry before he founded his own brand in 2011. Never one to buy into the high fashion looks of the runway, he instead focuses on finding ways to make you and I look and feel better about ourselves simply by selling us the right chinos, the right body wash, and even the right scrambled eggs in the cafe of his flagship store near Madison Square Park in New York. With that history, he has countless collaborations with virtually every brand you can think of, and he has added another to his list with Weiss Watch Company, which looks to disrupt the Swiss watch industry by bringing watchmaking to the USA.

“I always seek to partner with the best of the best. Weiss Watch Company shares the same dedication to quality, craft, and timeless design that we champion in our menswear. Together, we’ve created a watch that not only embodies classic American craftsmanship but also speaks to modern style and utility. It’s a piece that’s made to last—both in durability and in style.” says Snyder.

Combining American classics

Cameron Weiss, founder of Weiss Watch Company, trained in classic Swiss watchmaking before bringing his skills back to the heartland where each of these sixty limited edition watches were designed and built by hand by artisans and masters of their craft. There are two possible colorways, Sand Storm and Forest Ranger.

“Collaborating with Todd Snyder has been an incredible journey, blending the heritage of independent American watchmaking with a modern, sartorial sensibility. Each timepiece we’ve created is a testament to the precision, craftsmanship, and timeless design that both of our brands stand for. We’re proud to offer a timepiece that’s not only functional but also embodies the spirit of American quality and style,” says Cameron Weiss.

Hermès Arceau Robe Légère

The new Hermès Arceau Robe Légère perfectly represents craftsmanship and art in a single timepiece. Everything, from the dial to the bezel, is a piece of art. One of the most eye-catching details is the horse on the dial.

Before it found its way to this magnificent watch, this piece of art was initially featured on a scarf designed by Théo de Gueltzl. Afterwards, skilled watchmakers imprinted it on the new Hermès Arceau Robe Légère watch.

Iconic watch brand Universal Genève is back
Universal Genève has been brought back to life by Breitling
Universal Geneve Compax

One of the biggest luxury watch brands, Universal Genève, returns to life after 20 years. While the brand is famous for its exquisite timepieces, it has been inactive in recent years, which is why you can be forgiven if you don't know much about it.

From 1894 to the present, the brand amassed a huge following, even though it eventually went under. Universal Genève was hugely affected by the 1989 quartz crisis, and it was acquired by Stelux Holdings in the ‘90s. Unfortunately, Stelux couldn’t revive the brand—things went silent in 2005.

The new Roger Dubuis watch: A timepiece that draws inspiration from knights
An artistic watch with knights on the dial
Roger Dubuis watch

While some watches are popular for their movements, the Roger Dubuis watch has made ripples in the industry with its stylish dial. Instead of featuring hour markers on the watch, this new timepiece from Roger Dubuis has small miniatures which are considered to be more artistic than hour markers.

The good thing about this watch is this—each miniature version differs from the next. One look at the dial is enough to give you some insight into the effort that’s been put into the watch. Apparently, every knight has a unique element, so the brand spent a lot of time on minor details.
