An inside look the all-American watch company preserving Pennsylvania's watchmaking history
RGM Watch Co. of Mount Joy, Pennsylvania, is one of the last all-American watchmakers around. Unlike most American watch companies, RGM hand-makes its movement parts in-house. The complex interior gears are mesmerizing, and assembling them requires patience and a steady hand. We explore the major steps of the watchmaking process, including carving gears, assembling the movement pieces, and attaching the guilloché watch face.
