Honored: Dryden Named One of America's Top 25 Watch Brands by Teddy Baldassarre
I had one of those "wow" moments this week.
I was scrolling through my feed and saw that the team at Teddy Baldassarre—one of the biggest and most respected voices in the watch world—named Dryden Watch Co. as one of their "Top 25 American Watch Brands."
To be listed alongside so many other great American brands is a genuine honor. As a small, independent brand based in Kansas City, this kind of recognition means the world. A huge thank you to Teddy and his entire team for noticing our work.
When I first started Dryden, I brought my background as a photographer to the design table. That means I'm naturally obsessed with light, color, and texture, but also with function. The goal was always to create tough, reliable, and accessibly-priced watches that were ready for daily adventure. We've always focused on robust build quality, designs inspired by the American Heartland, and our core commitment to assembling every watch right here in the USA.
We were thrilled to see the article recognize that mission. They specifically highlighted our "attention to detail" and "use of quality materials," which is exactly what we aim for in every watch we make. To have a respected voice like Teddy's team notice that level of detail feels great.
But the truth is, we wouldn't be on this list without our community. Your support, your feedback, and your passion for what we do are what allow us to keep building. This is as much your honor as it is ours.
Thank you for being on this journey with us.
