Lonely Wrist: All Things Watches & Horology

Abingdon's Journey from Pilot to Pioneering Watchmaker


Listen Later

As we lift off with Abingdon from the Abingdon Watch Company, her story of ascending from an aspiring pilot to a trailblazing entrepreneur at 22 is nothing short of inspiring. Her commitment to designing watches that marry luxury with functionality speaks to the heart of adventurers and professionals alike. Our conversation takes us through the skies of ingenuity where each watch in her collection offers a narrative of both history and innovation, like the flight computer-equipped Amelia or the ADIS alphabet-laden Catherine.

Imagine a watch that not only tells time but becomes an essential tool in your daily life. That's the reality Abingdon has created for her clientele,  Abingdon Crew Members—a community where passion for precision meets the thrill of the adventure. In this episode, we explore the microbrand revolution that Abingdon Watch Company epitomizes, crafting watches with unparalleled utility, such as a strap that doubles as a ruler or timepieces with interchangeable straps for divers. Their dedication to exceptional service, like complimentary battery changes, solidifies their reputation in an industry ripe for change.

Finally, we chart the course of Abindon's future aspirations, where innovation meets empowerment, and every watch is a badge of honor for the wearer's journey. The Abington Foundation's efforts to elevate women in STEM fields echo throughout our discussion, just as their watches echo the spirit of their diverse and daring crew. We're reminded that every tick of the hand is a second filled with potential and every story shared strengthens our connection. Join us on this horological expedition where history is made, one wrist at a time.
