Lincoln's River Collection
A watch inspired by Young Abe's adventures on the Sangamon River in 1831
Sangamon Watch Company
Sangamon Watches was started in America’s Heartland by two international business travelers who often purchased luxury watches with little meaning behind them. The founders were motivated to combine high-quality watches for men and women with inspirational stories and at affordable prices. Every Sangamon watch is hand assembled in limited quantities and based on a special inspirational story.
Behind The Name
Sangamon Watch Company is named after the Sangamon River, which runs from Central Illinois and feeds into the Mississippi River. The river was loved by Abraham Lincoln, whose family settled along the river when he was a young man. The Sangamon region was also home to one of the finest watchmakers in the United States - the Illinois Watch Company. At its peak, it had over 1200 employees and produced over 43,000 watch movements each year.
Our employees work in the long shadow of President Lincoln feeling inspired by our region’s rich history. Our name, Sangamon, is proud to honor this tradition of excellence.
