 How many watches were produced by American watch companies? When looking at the total output of American watch manufacturers, a natural distinction can be made between companies producing higher-quality jeweled pocket watches and those producing lower-quality "dollar-style" (or otherwise minimally-jeweled) watches. Over 500 million low-cost watches were produced by companies like Ingersoll, Ingraham, New Haven and Ansonia, accounting for a large percentage of total US production. We are more concerned with the production of higher-quality, jeweled pocket watches of at least seven jewels; the type that might be considered collectible today. Obviously, a rare watch tends to be more valuable than a common watch, so an understanding of which companies made more or fewer watches is worthwhile information for any watch collector. The passage of years and incompleteness of factory records means that it is probably impossible to create a completely accurate accounting of American wa

 As you might have heard, most of the pocket watches produced at the end of XIX beginning of the XX centuries originally had their cases made of precious metals. Then, during the war, many antique pocket watch movements had become orphaned from their original cases. As the result, these movements remained uncased, and we found vigor in restoring and preserving the beautiful pieces in a functional way. By reverse-engineering antique parts, we were able to create a wristwatch case that housed the pocket watch movements in the same way as the original pocket watch case. To make these historical quality time machines wearable again, we create a modern wristwatch case individually for each movemen We produce two different types of cases that gently hold the movements: cast cases and chiseled cases. We also have some ready-to-wear stainless steel cases. The stainless steel cases usually have the bezel redesigned to make them look unique. Most of our cases are made with the exhibition back co

Even during lockdown last year, creativity and entrepreneurship found its way to the surface on Boka Bay’s shores. Michael Neundlinger, founder of Nirvana Yachting, a charter company based out of Porto Montenegro, approached local artist Jana Farkas with the challenging task of painting his unique brand logo on the 18x4m sail of Selena. The larger-than-life project meant that Jana had to pull together a team to help and invited young artists, engineers and architects from the Boka region in order to create the branded, hand-painted sail in a show of impressive marine artistry. Aleksandra Stajović, an architect from Budva, had no prior painting experience but was delighted to be involved from the beginning: “I had never done anything comparable, nor did I have any idea whether I could work a paintbrush, especially on such a large scale. I used AutoCad and PhotoShop to transpose the logo onto the sail and worked on a few prototypes. It was demanding at times, requiring constant improvisa

Porto Montenegro is a destination like no other – a waterfront sanctuary steeped in maritime heritage and lasting charm. Established as a naval base in the 19th Century, our shores were the place where ships and submarines were repaired and ceremoniously relaunched.

Marko joined the Porto Montenegro team as a summer intern whilst he was still a student in 2012. Now a technician responsible for the surveillance system throughout our village at the water’s edge, Marko is carrying on the Krivokapic tradition w
