MONTANA WATCH COMPANY HISTORYMontana Watch Company founder Jeffrey Nashan beganhis career in the field of vintage timepiece restoration.

Jeffrey was i ntrigued by t he combination of engineering,craftsmanship, and artistry utilized in horology and soonbegan to focus on the works of early American watchmanufactures. Inspired by these pioneers and wanting tocarry on their tradition, he created the Montana WatchCompany. His first wristwatch was the Model 1915, awire-lugged timepiece paying homage to the transition oftimepieces from the waistcoat to the wrist, which happenedaround the turn of the 20th century. The 100 piece limitededition of the Model 1915 was so well received that itquickly sold out, inspiring Jeffrey to create an entire line ofwatches which today consists of nine different models.

As a part-time rancher, equestrian and collector of vintage

rearms Jeffrey was inspired to work with master artisansto integrate the fine arts of hand engraving and leathertooling with his watchmaking. This rewarding journey hasresulted in truly unique custom designed watches with aloyal clientele for whom Jeffrey continues to create neheirloom timepieces.
