20th Anniversary "Caliber 20"

January 21, 2013

Our Third in-house movement "Caliber 20" is our first with a Motor Barrel.  Top grade American railroad watches from the past had a "Motor Barrel" , models like the Illinois Bunn Special , Hamilton 950 , and others from great American Watch Brands.

The "Motor Barrel" is an American invention and was used only on the highest grade models. The benefit of the design is that is reduces friction and wear in the mainspring barrel bearing surfaces, thus transmitting power more efficiently.

It was a natural choice to incorporate the "Motor Barrel" in our new in-house movement.

Pennsylvania Tourbillon

Tourbillon gallery

RGM Watch Pennsylvania Tourbillon

Here at RGM we are continuing to uphold the finest traditions of American horology by creating the Pennsylvania Tourbillon, our flagship mechanical movement made here in Lancaster County Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Tourbillon is signified by the state's symbol, a keystone, surrounding a capital T, which adorns the first serially produced American Tourbillon watches ever made.

The Pennsylvania Tourbillon is the fist serially produced Tourbillon in North America.  It is also a hand made watch with one of the largest Tourbillon cages for a watch that is 43.5 mm in diameter.  From it's Wolf's Tooth winding wheels, to its hand made Tourbillon cage it is a pure example of true watchmaking at its best.
