Fabulous post, Brotherman!
Proud that RGM is in my home state (really a commonwealth) of Pennsylvania! And I will immediately check out 5280 in my current home state, which I never heard of until reading your informative post! Thanks for the great post.
Watchmaking in the United States of America
American Watchmaking is thriving across the spectrum, from tool watches all the way to haute horology and everything in between. Therefore going to share the ones I feel are at the Top of their Game 😊 Roland G.Murphy Roland G. Murphy is the founder of RGM...
It's interesting that the Cornell piece is also signed RGM.
Thank you for putting this informative post together. I learned of a few makers I was unaware of. I've always been a fan of RGM, and find it cool they are in Lancaster, PA, former home of Hamilton.
What a wonderful deep dive!
I’ve always been fond of RGM. Have considered a pilot style watch from them ten years ago or so. I’ve just always been led in different directions, however, there are some nice pieces in their catalog.
Wow, you are so diligent.
Great applaud to you, Iron Brother, for bringing to us so much research information on horology.
Wow, thank you for that encyclopedic compilation, Salman 🙏😃
I've been enjoying your other reports, too. SAmerica, Australia, SKorea... So many brands and pieces that I would likely not have otherwise come across . Here, I really like the dial of the first model photographed under Cornell Watch Co. and the back sid...

I got a Weiss when he first got going after reading bout him in WatchTime ...

Great overview, Salman!
The Audubon-inspired RGM Glossy Iris appeals to me very much. Best, Emmanuel credit: Sjx ...
Fantastic post, thanks
some of these RGM are really attractive. Might want to ad Devon? I always found these intriguing. Best Andreas
You're Welcome 😊, WoW Devon, it's been a hot minute, they had a belt drive system if I remember correctly....

Here was a short-lived bit of fun before the drama started...
For those that remember Kobold, there was the attempt to start the Spirit of America series in Titanium. Michael was the darling of James Gandolfini for a bit, before getting into trouble with some airport firearms violations, then the whole drama with ov...
Blast from the past.
Kobold had a decent cross over appeal / cross over fan base among Paneristi in the 2000s. Have not heard that name in many years.
The original SOA used the 6597 manual
I looked up the current models and they use a base ETA automatic. My Kobold leather strap had the keeper deteriorate, which is likely my fault for not applying any leather preservative. I have an aftermarket strap on it now with a Panerai style buckle, an...
