He restores watches for the world's finest museums and crafts a few handmade, hand carved watches each year. The Limited Edition Towson Virtuoso is one such timepiece-a benchmade mechanical marvel that has the most exquisite engraved movement, showcased in a clean, elegant design that defies dating. George and his partner Hartwig Balke's work for Towson defines art-the melding of creativity, skill and imagination to create something of esthetic importance.
The Towson Virtuoso displays a guilloche face hand hammered to a shimmering silver finish. The small sweep second hand complication wheel is a sign to any collector that this is a watch of rare distinction. Turn the watch over, and the exhibition sapphire crystal further reveals a level of craftsmanship that many thought died out 100 years ago. The hand-wound movement is meticulously wrought in gold, rhodium brass and steel. The 17 impressively sized rubies and skeletonized bridges are beyond stunning. Exceptional in both form and function, the Virtuoso is handcrafted in America with a genuine alligator leather band and stainless steel deployment clasp.
