E.F. Bowman Watches by RGM
Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
EFB Model 501-PA
RGM Watch Co. reintroduces E.F. Bowman watches as part of its high-grade watch offerings. Linking past and present
(USA, Mount Joy, PA) August 2026 –
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.
The first watch is Model 501-PA, constructed using timeless techniques that were used in fine mechanical watches of the past, like the original E. F. Bowman pocket watches of the late 1800s. The 1920s Patek Philippe pocket watch pictured below, which Patek Philippe originally made for Ezra F. Bowman & Sons, inspired the unique enamel dial and blued steel hands of the new Model 501-PA wristwatch.
