Sometimes it is easy to forget that there was a long tradition of quality watchmaking right here in the USA that persisted until only a few decades ago. The gents over at Analog/Shift have taken this to heart and turned a handful of antique American pocket watches into desk clocks, fitting each fully-restored watch with an individually carved hardwood stand. Sure, you might not want to throw a Waltham railroad watch into your pocket, but it's a handsome option for sitting next to your iMac.
