Our Journey
Every watch has a story. This is ours.
Germaine J Thomas was founded on a simple idea: that a timepiece could be both a work of art and a symbol of sustainability. Based in Morgantown, WV, we are a small team of artisans dedicated to handcrafting beautiful wooden watches that connect our customers to the natural world and the value of true craftsmanship.
A Passion Carved from Wood and Time
My story began in a small workshop, fueled by a lifelong passion for woodworking and a deep fascination with horology. I saw a disconnect: beautiful watches often felt industrialized, while natural materials rarely found their way into refined timepieces. I wanted to bridge that gap, to create something real, something you could hold and feel its story. A wooden watch isn't just about telling time; it's about being connected to the material, to the craft, and to the time it took to make.
Our commitment extends beyond the product. We are deeply rooted in our community here in Morgantown, WV, embracing American craftsmanship and ethical production at every step. This isn't just a business; it's a dedication to beauty, nature, and enduring quality.
