Expert Care for Every Watch Style & Collection

We specialize in repairing popular Jacob Karr collections. Learn more about the history of these collections:

The Jacob Karr American Chronometer was inspired by Karr’s ambition to create a highly accurate American-made pocket timepiece using the precision principles of marine chronometers. Working in Washington, D.C., during the 19th century, Karr adapted chronometer-style escapement technology for a portable watch, seeking to bring the accuracy associated with navigation chronometers into a pocket-sized American design.

We know that your Jacob Karr watch is important to you and understand that the sentimental value more often than not outweighs the monetary value. Our expert watchmakers strive to make sure your watch can be worn for many years to come. 

Jacob Karr’s experimental pocket watches grew from his efforts to improve chronometer timekeeping and develop an American-made alternative to established European designs. Rather than creating a conventional production watch, Karr experimented with chronometer escapements and movement construction, using these rare pieces to test ideas aimed at achieving greater accuracy and reliability in a portable timepiece.

We know that your Jacob Karr watch is important to you and understand that the sentimental value more often than not outweighs the monetary value. Our expert watchmakers strive to make sure your watch can be worn for many years to come. 

The Jacob Karr Fusee pocket watch was inspired by traditional marine chronometers, which used a fusee to deliver more consistent power from the mainspring and improve timekeeping. Karr adapted this proven precision technology to a pocket-sized American chronometer, combining established chronometer principles with his own efforts to create an exceptionally accurate portable watch.

We know that your Jacob Karr watch is important to you and understand that the sentimental value more often than not outweighs the monetary value. Our expert watchmakers strive to make sure your watch can be worn for many years to come. 

The Jacob Karr Hunting-Case pocket watch combined Karr’s pursuit of chronometer-level accuracy with the practical protection of a traditional hunting case. The hinged cover helped shield the dial and crystal during everyday carry, making it a natural choice for housing one of Karr’s precision American chronometers while reflecting the popular pocket-watch style of the 19th century.

We know that your Jacob Karr watch is important to you and understand that the sentimental value more often than not outweighs the monetary value. Our expert watchmakers strive to make sure your watch can be worn for many years to come. 

The Jacob Karr Pivoted-Detent pocket watch grew from Karr’s experiments with bringing chronometer-level precision into a portable watch. The pivoted-detent escapement was rooted in marine chronometer technology, prized for reducing interference with the balance, and Karr explored adapting the principle to pocket watches as part of his effort to improve American precision timekeeping.

We know that your Jacob Karr watch is important to you and understand that the sentimental value more often than not outweighs the monetary value. Our expert watchmakers strive to make sure your watch can be worn for many years to come.

HISTORY OF JACOB KARR

The Legacy of Jacob Karr: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation

Jacob Karr was an American watchmaker working in Washington, D.C., during the 19th century who sought to create highly accurate pocket chronometers in the United States. He experimented with advanced escapements and patented improvements to chronometer technology, producing a small number of watches, including examples marked “American Chronometer.”

Unlike Waltham and Elgin, Karr never became a large-scale manufacturer, making his surviving watches exceptionally rare. His legacy rests on his pursuit of precision and innovation during an important era of American watchmaking. Today, Jacob Karr pocket watches are prized by collectors as rare pieces of American horological history.
