Forward Watch Co.
Forward Watch Co. was founded on a few basic principles: make quality watches, keep costs as low as possible for the consumer, and practice brutal transparency.
As a completely self-funded venture, our goal isn't to chase quick profits and exit. Instead, we are dedicated to creating beautiful, daily-wear timepieces while providing an exceptional customer experience. Who knows... if we're lucky, we might just inspire others to pursue their own passions.
ALWAYS MOVE FORWARD
Our mission statement is simple:
Always Move Forward.
It’s a reminder we all need daily. Life has a way of throwing challenges and obstacles in our path, whether you’re at the top of your game or down on your luck. The hurdles never truly stop. That’s why every Forward watch features "Always Move Forward" etched into the case back—a physical reminder that hard times are temporary, and you will get past them if you just keep moving.
Texas, Our Texas
Each watch is designed and hand assembled in Houston, TX, combining purposeful design with hands-on assembly to ensure every piece meets our standards for durability, function, and reliability.
No matter where you are in the world, wearing a Forward Watch Co. timepiece ensures you always carry a piece of Texas with you.
From Me
If you’ve made it to this page… welcome! My name is Chase Mardis, and I am the founder of Forward Watch Co. It truly means a lot to me that you’ve taken the time to check out our timepieces.
Whether you’re planning your first order or already have a piece on your wrist, thank you for your support. I hope your experience with us has been incredible so far. Each of these watches means a great deal to me, as they are directly inspired by my own life experiences, interests, and lifestyle.
Please feel free to reach out if you ever have any questions or feedback. And if you’re ever around Houston, let me know! I’m always down to meet up, talk watches, discuss upcoming designs, or just grab a coffee (or beer).
