In the world of modern horology, new brands are constantly entering the market, and many of these companies cause instant stirs in the market. While keeping up with the trends is exciting, one can never lose sight of timekeeping’s past, and one brand is committed to keeping it alive. That watch company is James McCabe, a brand dedicated to keeping to the custom of traditional artisan watchmaking.
James McCabe was inspired by the legendary watchmaker James McCabe. In 1775, the Irish immigrant opened a shop on Fleet Street in London and began making and selling watches. His watchmaking house, the House of McCabe produced more than 50,000 watches and 7,000 clocks while in operation, and James McCabe’s designs were worn by Lord Horatio Nelson, George Washington and many other prominent men of the period.
