E. F. Bowman Watches by RGM
Here at RGM Watch Co., we have reintroduced the historic E.F. Bowman watches as part of our high-grade watch offerings. Linking past and present.
E.F. Bowman has a long history here in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania; in fact, RGM’s Roland Murphy attended the Bowman Technical School in the early 1980’s. It’s a natural fit for RGM to revive the historic name on watches created in Pennsylvania once again.
