After 17 years on the job, Jerommie Smith had destroyed more watches than he could count. Cheap ones broke on duty. Expensive ones were too flashy for plainclothes work. None of them were built for what law enforcement actually demands. So he built one himself — right here in Winter Springs, Florida. Smith & Bradley was born from hundreds of conversations with fellow officers, a relentless standard for durability, and a conviction that the people who protect others deserve gear that actually holds up. Every watch we make carries that story.
