So id you are looking for a watch from US watchmakers, do look at the RGM collection.

History of the RGM watches Brand

Unlike many modern watch brands, the founder of the brand and creator for the designs is alive. Like the company is stating on their website he is also willing to personally educate and inform consumers about his creations.
As loved by the most watch collectors, the RGM watches are only produced in extremely small series of 18k yellow or rose gold, platinum, and stainless steel. The cases for the watches are even hand-finished cases and contain elements like engine-turned (guilloche) dials and blued-steel hands. Most of the components used in the RGM watches are still Swiss made. But there are RGM models that feature original American components. Since the models are very limited, each model contains its own unique number and is signed. This makes the watches even more popular on the watch collectors around the world.
