The Ellum was designed to channel your inner Don Draper. Inspired by timepieces of the 50s and 60s, the Ellum is the quintessential dress watch that comes in only at 9mm thick. Every detail was considered including the beautiful linen dial that was often seen in mid-century dress watches. The star of the show is the Sellita SW210 Swiss manual wind movement that comes fully decorated. The striped finishing and blue screws are fully displayed to appreciate fine Swiss craftsmanship. The Epsom leather strap provides a luxury wearing experience. The Ellum is assembled and regulated in the USA.

The maker
Jack Mason
Jack Mason's pitch is domestic manufacturing as the differentiator: designed in Dallas, Texas and built in the United States by their team of expert watchmakers, with an explicit "designed, not sourced" stance — no off-the-shelf parts. The brand frames itself as reviving a lineage of American watchmaking (Hamilton, Elgin, Waltham) that mostly disappeared after the Great Depression, positioning quality control and local servicing as the practical payoff of building domestically
