About Us
JBALDWIN WATCH CO. Philadelphia.
Our watches are designed/fabricated/assembled in Philadelphia at our studio in Port Richmond. We take great pride in moving from a 'custom made' little watch company to a retromodern artisinal watchmaker for the masses little watch company. We want everyone to own one of our affordable and sublimely crafted watches. American crafted with brilliant Swiss and Japanese movements. Most people say to me our watch is the most expensive watch they own. We are not expensive we are fair. If our name was Omega. . .Quality. I'm not bragging. I'm just sayin. One day.
We try very hard to think outside the watch box and inside the watch case. The passion we bring is contagious throughout our studio.
John Kenney
Watchmaker
I am a watchmaker. I am a computer dude, cruciverbalist, and I collect thermionic valves (yes! vacuum tubes). I have a passion for life and grand times. I am a bon vivant. I marvel at anything and everything built by man, and enjoy the company of people who think and create. I turned a passion for watches into a profession of watchmaking. I have dreams/desires/designs to create 'that' special movement. I absolutely respect and
admire those who came before: Louis F. Clement Breguet, Georges Augusta Leschot, Yoshikazu Akahane, Charles LeCoultre.
Cody Harris Heller
Horological Instruments Artificer
Cody comes from a strong background as a jeweler and jewelry designer, so I asked him if he was comfortable in combining both his artistry and jeweler skills with my watchmaking skills. He leapt at the opportunity and I leapt to meet and embrace him. Once again, I recently asked Cody if he would like to breakout and create some
wonderful, artisanal, and affordable timepieces for 'everyone'. Again, he leapt at the opportunity.
• This brings us to where we are today – after the insane 2020-2022 years we start anew – as a fledgling little watch company in Philadelphia. Cody will continue to design the face of our watches and I will continue to design the face of our watch company.
