Who We Are

Established in 1979 and revitalized in 2020, Waldan Watches is a family-owned American watch brand. With over 40 years of rich heritage, Waldan is celebrated as one of the premier American heritage watch brands. Our story is deeply rooted in the remarkable journey of our original founder, Oscar Waldan, a Holocaust survivor who learned the art of watchmaking during World War II. 

For nearly three decades, Oscar Waldan designed and manufactured Swiss-made timepieces for esteemed brands such as Tiffany & Co., Tourneau, H. Stern, and Neiman Marcus. His commitment to sourcing the finest components resulted in timeless watches crafted in precious metals, often featuring intricate mechanical complications. These creations bore the discreet hallmark of “Waldan Creations” on their inner case backs, symbolizing unparalleled quality and craftsmanship.

Today, under the leadership of Oscar’s son, Andrew Waldan, we honor our heritage while embracing a new era of American watchmaking. Andrew transitioned from Swiss production to American watchmaking to revitalizing the American watchmaking industry. Our focus is on creating high-quality, value-driven timepieces that resonate with modern collectors and enthusiasts.

At Waldan, our dedication to excellence remains steadfast. Each watch and movement is meticulously hand-assembled in the United States, powered by the first American-made movements commercially available in decades. Our Heritage collection exemplifies this commitment, featuring innovative all-metal quartz movements that are uniquely serviceable, along with premium elements like scratch-resistant sapphire crystals with anti-reflective coating - features typically unseen at this price point.

While we incorporate a blend of domestic and select foreign components due to current industry capabilities, we are devoted to supporting the resurgence of American watchmaking. As the industry evolves, we aim to progressively increase the use of domestically produced parts. 

This evolution positions Waldan to modernize and adapt while staying true to the design principles and quality craftsmanship that define our brand. We invite you to join us in celebrating a legacy of resilience and timeless elegance as we rewrite the American watch story.
