J.N. Shapiro's $70,000 American-made watch aims to revolutionize the industry.

J.N. Shapiro Watches has debuted Resurgence, a new watch that is almost entirely made in the United States and starts at $70,000 in a steel case. The Inglewood-based company aims to make about 30 a year, and each watch will have “U.S. made” engraved on the movement. Resurgence is part of a process that spanned thousands of hours and began 12 years ago. Shapiro, whose previous offering, the Infinity Series, debuted in 2018, hopes his endeavor will inspire other horologists in the US to return to the traditional art of watchmaking.
