A PIECE OF AMERICAN HISTORY

At the heart of Patriot 1776 is a seconds subdial crafted from an authentic Revolutionary War musket ball fragment. Recovered from a historic battlefield, each fragment is laboratory-tested and certified for authenticity and provenance.

WHERE HISTORY MEETS THE DIAL

The seconds subdial brings the story of Patriot 1776 into focus: crafted from an authentic Revolutionary War musket ball fragment, it carries the memory of America’s founding with every passing second.

At the Origins of a Nation

Patriot 1776 honors the thirteen original colonies that shaped American independence. Twelve appear on the dial with their abbreviations and founding dates, framed by flag-inspired stripes and stars. Pennsylvania is reserved for the caseback, honoring Philadelphia’s Independence Hall and July 4, 1776.

PENNSYLVANIA, WHERE INDEPENDENCE WAS DECLARED

Pennsylvania is honored on the caseback as the home of Philadelphia’s Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was adopted on July 4, 1776. Reserved from the twelve colonies shown on the dial, it becomes a symbolic tribute to the birthplace of a nation.

THE DECLARATION THAT SHAPED A NATION

In 1776, thirteen colonies gave voice to a defining idea: freedom, representation, and self-government. The Declaration of Independence marked the birth of the United States and a turning point beyond its borders. Patriot 1776 pays tribute to that founding moment and the ideals that still shape the American story.
