Downtown Relief Fund A Resounding Success!

For Immediate Release

The Bozeman Watch Company is proud to announce that we were able to raise nearly $6000 on behalf of the Downtown Relief Fund. Our clients and friends really came together to help make our response so powerful, and we're honored and humbled by the show of support.

BWC CEO Christopher F Wardle will present Bozeman's Human Resources Development Council with a check for our contribution at a small event later in the month. The Bozeman Watch Company would also like to thank Bozeman's own Murdoch's Ranch & Home Supply for agreeing to match our contribution, bringing the total raised by the two companies to $12,000!

In a small town like Bozeman, neighbors look out for one another and we also look out for our town, and when on Thursday, March 5th, the 200 block of our historic downtown Main Street suffered a catastrophic explosion, the Bozeman Watch Company sprang into action. The explosion, which destroyed three Main Street businesses completely, caused serious damage to another three, and the community lost a valuable member to the tragedy.

An explosion of this nature would have long-lasting effects to a community such as ours in the best of times; as is, the rebuilding effort, both physically and emotionally, will take far longer today. With this donation from the Bozeman Watch Company and Murdoch's, two businesses are doing what they can to contribute to that effort.

The Bozeman Watch Company is one of the few companies in the United States designing, engineering and manufacturing mechanical watches today. Our commitment is to create the most accurate and rare collection of fine automatic timepieces available. These timepieces are rugged, refined and rare and models of no more than 200 individually-numbered pieces are produced of any one design. With utilization of some of the finest Swiss and German component suppliers, our venture mixes both the creativity of youth and the experience of many generations. BWC watches are as much a stable and enjoyable investment as a reflection in refined personal taste.

The Bozeman Watch Company is the only American manufacturer which sends each of its mechanical movements to Geneva for official chronometer certification by the COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres). With the only Geneva certified American collection on the market, the Bozeman Watch Company's timepieces meet the highest accuracy standards in the mechanical watch making industry.

In today's economy, The Bozeman Watch Company is the only manufacturer known to have increased its technical staff and to employ WOSTEP educated and degreed watch production staff here on U.S. soil. Thanks to increased demand, the Bozeman Watch Company has expanded its technical space and equipment in its Bozeman facility.

We are proud to serve our clientele, and honored they compliment our work with their purchase. We look forward to continuing the adventure of being America's premier watch manufacturer.

Production for 2009 is increasing and releases will include the Smokejumper GMT, the SnowMaster Retrograde, SnowMaster Telemetric, the Herradura and the Hellcat.

With adventurous yet classy designs, American innovation and Old World precision manufacturing, The Bozeman Watch Company is truly the only one of its kind.
