ROOTED IN 1929. BUILT FOR WHAT’S NEXT.
THE STORY
Origins in 1929.
Returning nearly
a century later.
AVIGO traces its name to an extraordinary period when American watchmaking, aviation and engineering were helping redefine what was possible.
Today, AVIGO begins again—not as a reproduction of the past, but as a continuation of its spirit.
We are developing a new generation of mechanical watches inspired by aviation, exploration, precision engineering and the belief that some American stories deserve another chapter.

THE RETURN
We aren’t simply launching a watch.
We’re rebuilding a name.
The first modern AVIGO watches are being developed now.
From early concepts and technical drawings to CAD engineering, prototypes, materials, movements and testing, we intend to document the process of bringing AVIGO back.
Some ideas will become watches. Others won’t.
That’s part of the story.
FOLLOW THE BUILD. HELP SHAPE WHAT COMES NEXT.
THE WATCHES
Designed for the next chapter.
The modern AVIGO collection is currently in development.
Our first prototypes draw from the worlds of aviation, mechanical watchmaking and classic instrument design while creating a distinctly modern AVIGO identity.
Rather than hide the development process, we’re opening part of it to the people who believe in what AVIGO can become.
CONCEPTS • PROTOTYPES • ENGINEERING • TESTING
THE WORKSHOP
Watch a watch company being built.
Most people discover a watch only after it reaches the display case.
AVIGO is inviting you in earlier.
Follow selected design studies, prototype development, engineering decisions and manufacturing milestones as we work toward the first new generation of AVIGO watches.
Members of the AVIGO 1929 Society will occasionally be invited to vote, provide feedback and help us evaluate concepts under consideration.
OUR AMERICAN MANUFACTURING MISSION
Bring it home.
Modern watchmaking is a global craft. Our first generation will draw upon specialized manufacturers, suppliers and watchmaking expertise from around the world.
We are proud of the craftsmanship that goes into every AVIGO.
But our ambition goes further.
AVIGO’s long-term mission is to progressively develop the suppliers, tooling, skills, engineering and watchmaking capabilities necessary to manufacture an AVIGO mechanical watch entirely in the United States.
Not simply assembled here.
MADE HERE.
We know that won’t happen overnight. We intend to document the journey as we work toward it.
GLOBAL CRAFTSMANSHIP. AMERICAN AMBITION.
THE NEXT FRONTIER
From the age of aviation
to the age of space.
AVIGO’s heritage traces to an era when humanity was pushing farther into the sky.
Nearly a century later, we’re looking farther.
As the modern AVIGO takes shape, we are developing an ambitious long-term mission: pursue opportunities for an AVIGO watch to accompany human spaceflight—with the ultimate dream of one day reaching the Moon, Mars or beyond.
It begins with a watch.
Where it ends remains to be seen.
FOLLOW THE AVIGO SPACE MISSION.
