OUR MISSION

THE ROAD TO

MADE IN AMERICA

THREE GENERATIONS. ONE DESTINATION.

America was once one of the world’s great watchmaking nations.

AVIGO’s mission is to help build that capability again—generation by generation.

Our journey begins with American design, an American movement, globally sourced components and final assembly in the United States. From there, our goal is to progressively bring more of the movement and watch itself onto American soil.

THE AVIGO ROADMAP

THREE GENERATIONS. ONE DESTINATION.

Each generation is intended to move AVIGO closer to a larger goal: restoring meaningful American watchmaking capability and ultimately earning the right to make a Made in USA claim.

GENERATION I — ASSEMBLED IN AMERICA

Designed in the United States. Built around an American movement. Components sourced globally, with final watch assembly planned in the United States.

GENERATION II — THE AMERICAN MOVEMENT

Our goal is to progressively bring movement-component manufacturing home and produce more of the mechanical movement in the United States.

GENERATION III — MADE IN AMERICA

Our destination is to manufacture the movement and qualifying watch components in the United States and meet the applicable standards necessary to legitimately carry a Made in USA claim.
GENERATION I

DESIGNED HERE.
ASSEMBLED HERE.

The first generation establishes AVIGO’s American foundation.

Our plan is to design the watch in the United States, use an American movement, source the remaining components from qualified suppliers around the world, and complete final watch assembly in the United States.

It is a practical first step: begin with the best capabilities available today while creating a path toward producing more of the watch at home.

GENERATION II

BUILDING THE AMERICAN MOVEMENT

The second generation is about increasing what we can make here.

Our goal is to begin bringing movement-component production into the United States and progressively expand the number of components manufactured domestically.

American manufacturing is not a slogan for AVIGO. It is a capability that must be built—supplier by supplier, component by component and generation by generation.

GENERATION III

THE DESTINATION:
MADE IN AMERICA

Generation III represents the destination of the AVIGO roadmap.

Our objective is to manufacture the movement and qualifying watch components in the United States and perform final assembly here—building the domestic manufacturing capability necessary to pursue a legitimate Made in USA claim.

We will not use Made in USA simply because it sounds good. Our goal is to build the company, manufacturing network and product that earn the right to say it.

WHY IT MATTERS

MORE THAN WHERE A WATCH IS ASSEMBLED

Bringing watchmaking back to America means rebuilding knowledge, skills, suppliers and opportunities that can last beyond a single watch or collection.

AMERICAN WATCHMAKING

Develop the capability to manufacture and assemble increasingly more of an AVIGO watch in the United States.

SKILLED CRAFT

Support the watchmakers, machinists, engineers and craftspeople required to build a domestic watchmaking ecosystem.

AMERICAN SUPPLIERS

Build relationships with American manufacturers capable of producing increasingly sophisticated watch components.

THE NEXT GENERATION

Help create a reason for the next generation to learn and preserve the skills of mechanical watchmaking.
OUR COMMITMENT

WE DON’T WANT TO PUT
“MADE IN USA” ON A WATCH.

WE WANT TO BUILD THE COMPANY
THAT EARNS THE RIGHT TO PUT IT THERE.

FOLLOW THE JOURNEY

A LEGACY RESTORED.
A FUTURE BUILT IN AMERICA.

AVIGO’s three-generation roadmap is a long-term mission. As the company grows, we intend to document the progress—the suppliers, watchmakers, manufacturing milestones and people helping move American watchmaking forward.
