Bozeman Watch Co. Supports Main Street USA

Filed under: Timepieces / Watches, Charity

A tragedy (both real and symbolic) recently occurred in Bozeman Montana on March 5th. A natural gas explosion on Main Street destroyed about four businesses and rocked the lives of many people in this small American town. Although this incident was very real, the news could easily be read as a metaphor on the collapse of "Main Street" America and the close of small businesses during these hard economic times. Still, caring companies do exist vetted in the prolongment of independent American businesses.

In what can only be called an American peculiarity, Bozeman Montana is also home to one of America's few independent watch makers, the Bozeman Watch Company. In an attempt to assist its place of business and residence, the Bozeman Watch Company will pledge $500 for each watch it sells until April 15th, 2009 (tax day). That is a big chunk of profit from each watch, showing that the company is serious about helping its town. The money will be dedicated to the memorial fund that will eventually be associated with the tragic event. Bozeman Watch Company has an impressive line of luxury watches each with a distinct American personality. The pictured watch is the men's Gallatin model. All watches feature Swiss movements and many are certified Chronometers.
