ABOUT COLLINS WATCH

COLLINS WATCH COMPANY was established by Jimmy Collins in early 2016. Having a background in the arts and a career as a Hollywood commercial director, Jimmy decided to take a chance and pursue his life-long passion for design. After launching a successful line of American-made eyewear, Jimmy set his sights on the more elusive challenge of designing a watch. A bona fide watch fanatic, he was more than eager to bring his horological ideas to life.

Launched in mid-2017, Collins’ first watch, BRONSON, charmed the “microbrand” watch world with its unique music-inspired design and substantial feature set. A chronograph version soon followed and sold fast, leading Jimmy to his next design. With its Swiss movement and refined finishes, HYPERION officially dipped the company’s toes into the world of—dare-it-be-said—luxury watches. After another successful launch and a nation-wide tour with appearances at prominent watch shows, like Windup Watch Fair, Jimmy decided to take a plunge into the world of dive watches, announcing SONAR. With its balanced design, 300-meter water resistance, and highly tuned Swiss automatic movement, SONAR will set sail in early 2020.

Based in Los Angeles, Collins Watch Company proudly assembles, tests, and tunes all its watches in the United States. The company guarantees every product it makes and is committed first-and-foremost to its customers.

Jimmy Collins

Though his family’s medical business offered the promise of a nice, predictable career, Jimmy was keen to follow the more unpredictable path of the artist. He pursued music as a percussionist during his early years and graduated from the Juilliard School's pre-College program in 2002. He then enrolled at Harvard University, where he began studies in the visual arts, including filmmaking and design. Graduating in 2007, he was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship which took him to South Africa where he pursued a project involving music education and documentary filmmaking in the impoverished and historically segregated townships of Johannesburg. After a further year of travel and volunteer work, Jimmy settled in Los Angeles where he established Man At Large, a video production company devoted to the telling of powerful stories. During this time, he also built a music and video studio, called Bronson Island. Fascinated by the process of designing and building the studio, Jimmy began tinkering... What else could he make? This eventually led him into the world of product design and the formation of Collins Watch Company, a company devoted to sophisticated design, quality manufacturing, and the spirit of adventure.
