Built to Endure

Shipwrecked Watch Company was born from my time at sea and my passion for watches. In 2012, I joined Military Sealift Command, where I had the opportunity to travel the world supporting the military’s global supply operations. A few years later, while pier-side in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, I wandered into a watch shop and purchased my first watch—sparking a passion that has stayed with me ever since. I later sailed as an Able-Bodied Seaman aboard the USNS Grasp T-ARS 51, a Naval Salvage Vessel, where I took part in missions across the globe, from the rough waters of the North Sea to the dangerous Gulf of Aden and Red Sea. The challenges, adventures, and experiences of life aboard a salvage vessel, combined with my growing love for watches, ultimately inspired me to create Shipwrecked Watch Company—a brand built around the spirit of adventure, resilience, and the people who live and work on the water.
