Mitch and Andrew Greenblatt founded XERIC Watches to bring complex, mechanical timepieces like the XERISCOPE collection to a broad cross-section of watch enthusiasts who dream of an affordable Mechanical. Together, the brothers have carefully curated the exceptional collection at Watches.com, which since 1999 has been a singular source for unique modern watches from around the world. XERIC Watches
represents a natural progression of the business: from Curators to Creators of designs that reflect their experience, knowledge and passion for the truly unusual. For years, we combed the globe to bring the world’s most interesting watches to our customers at Watchismo.com. Our work identified a glaring gap in the watch market – the need for a very cool & affordable, mechanical watch – at a time when we were eager to act on our longstanding dream to create something that had not been done by anyone else. Together with the Watchismo Labs workshop, we designed the first line of XERIC timepieces. How did we finally make mechanical an affordable reality? We are a slim company, and don’t have a lot of red tape and added costs. Yet we do have a great deal of experience with watches that informed the design of a piece that would look as exceptional today as it will in a hundred years. Finally, we found a way to produce this creation at an artisanal scale… and hope to keep it that way because our customers care to have the most unusual watch in the room.
