The Homemade Watch Company was born from a family story about my Aunt Antonia, who, just one day after immigrating from Italy, began her 40+ year career in manufacturing at the Bulova Watch Company in Providence, Rhode Island. Her story—a testament to hard work and new beginnings—lit a fire in me.

As a lifelong watch enthusiast, I began to desire a unique yet down-to-earth timepiece born in my home state that echoed the values of my upbringing. When my search came up empty, I did what any artist would do: I designed one myself.

A crude sketch on crumpled scrap paper evolved into Homemade Rhode Island Watch, and its unexpected success launched the Homemade Watch Company—a part-time and self-funded passion project that aims to blend art, heritage, spirituality, and storytelling in unexpected ways.
