A casual observer, first time owner, collector, or aficionado all understand the lure and fascination of a mechanical watch. Michael Grady. Founder and owner of AVerit
as. From the time Mr. Grady was a young boy, he was interested in fine watches. A grandfather’s fascination soon turned to an equal allure for the young man. Intense mechanical interest lead to a career in mechanical Engineering. From the design of mechanisms to manufacturing, he continued the journey. Owning a company engaged in the manufacture of complex mechanical components for the optical industry gave Mr. Grady further insight to extremely complex components. Working with many components that have tolerances that could change with the touch of your hand. His manufacturing company was already engaged in machining complex components with extremely tight tolerances. Combining his personal watch making with his manufacturing capabilities seemed only natural.. Why not create time pieces that reflect his personal design tastes with his fine attention to detail. These attributes coupled with his extreme "customer focused" business philosophy gave birth to AVeritas. Yes, a name with two capital letters. Just as the mechanical time piece was once forgotten, The forgotten language of Latin was used in naming the company. The word AVeritas is an invention of Mr. Grady’s as well. “Veritas” means truth in Latin. The “A” stands for “Accuratus" which is Latin for "Accurate" or “Precise”
