Meet Whitmore Watches
How did the business originate?
I’ve always been very into watches, but during the pandemic I did a lot of soul searching for what I loved. Watches were something I always wanted to do. I wanted to create something with a story, great design, made in the states and a perfect price tag.

What makes Whitmore unique?
We take inspirational events and people and try to match it into a watch. Each watch has a backstory you can relate to and appreciate. Those stories are based on amazing people who had a voice, worked hard and made a difference.
I design everything myself and they’re built in the USA.
