Sourcing & Build
Needs ConfirmationSourcing Notes: Independent watch studio founded by collector Tim Hermes and based in North Carolina, USA. Each watch is hand-assembled in NC from components sourced through Asian OEM partners. Lineup leans heavily on Japanese automatic movements (Seiko NH35 across most divers, Seiko NH34 for GMT models, Miyota 9015 for thinner builds) plus Miyota quartz chronograph calibers. Cases are predominantly 316L stainless with sapphire crystals; lume is Super-LumiNova. Specific case/dial subcontractors are not publicly disclosed.

US-based company that ships domestically, no tariff issues mentioned
No import duty on domestically assembled watches. Brands like TSAO Baltimore, Nodus, Vaer, and Vortic ship tariff-free to US buyers.
Tariffs are assessed based on where the watch is assembled, not where individual components originate. A watch with a Japanese movement assembled in the US incurs no import duty.
