Bamford London Expands to US with Collective Horology
Bamford London has entered the United States market by appointing Collective Horology in Ventura, California as its first authorized retailer. The partnership marks a major milestone for the British brand, known for its bold, British‑designed watches that house Swiss movements and a playful aesthetic. Collective Horology, founded in 2018 by Asher Rapkin and Gabe Reilly, brings a strong reputation in independent watchmaking, having collaborated with notable brands such as IWC, URWERK, Zenith, H. Moser & Cie., and Oris, and operates both a boutique and an online store for U.S. customers. The expansion is supported by Bamford’s global distribution partner ChronoTime, which holds the official distribution rights worldwide. Customers in the United States can now purchase Bamford London watches directly through Collective Horology’s Ventura boutique or its online platform, extending the brand’s reach beyond its Mayfair headquarters and solidifying its presence in the American independent watch market.
