We Struck Black Gold
We at Jack Mason are passionate about creating thoughtfully designed watches. From the intricate mechanical gauges of race cars, planes and ships, to classic vintage style timepieces, each watch we create draws inspiration from iconic masterpieces. As an extension of our current watch collections, we are launching a series of limited edition watches to honor iconic events and figures in history that inspire each of us. Introducing the Jack Mason Limited Edition Series, each including 100 numbered and thoughtfully designed timepieces.
Texas Icons Series
The first series in our limited edition collection, Texas Icons, is intended to honor our roots by celebrating the events and figures in Texas history that are iconic in their industry. With each watch in this series, we conducted in-depth research to find the most relevant people, places, and things for both our brand and our fans. Original, influential, transformative, and memorable are words that we think best describe what it means to be iconic. We want to pay homage to these Texas Icons who have made an impact by not only designing a watch but also sharing their story and supporting their current charitable efforts.
Introducing: Spindletop Limited Edition Timepiece
For the rest of the world, the 20th century began on January 1, 1901. For Texas, it began when the Lucas Gusher blew at Spindletop, on January 10. The Spindletop Limited Edition Timepiece was created to celebrate the legacy of the iconic reserve that paved the way for the modern petroleum industry and changed our home state of Texas forever.
The first watch in our Texas Icons Series was created in collaboration with the Spindletop Gladys City Boomtown Museum.
"We are excited that Jack Mason is bringing Spindletop back to life in their release of the new Spindletop themed timepiece. It's a beautiful representation of the historical event that changed life and the economy in the U.S. forever, and we hope that it will be as popular as the first Lucas Gusher in 1901," said Spindletop Gladys City Boomtown Museum Director, Troy Gray.
Each element of the watch's design was inspired by the term Black Gold. It has a black case body and bracelet, and gold-plated markers and hands. The bezel, crown, and movement are also plated in gold, while the dial has a black texture to represent the oil-covered land in Beaumont when the gusher blew.
"Similar to many of our other automatic timepieces, the case back is exposed showcasing the gold-plated Miyota 820A movement, the edition number, and the date of the Spindletop oil boom," said Peter Cho, Jack Mason's Creative Director.
Each matte black and metallic gold box set includes an interchangeable leather strap, a hand-numbered edition card, and a contemporary 1900s style newspaper pamphlet that tells the story of the 1901 oil boom.
Don't miss out on your chance to own one of these limited edition timepieces. It is limited to 100 editions.

The Highwaymen Watch Evolves
Remember when Netflix called and asked us to make a watch for The Highwaymen? The custom-designed watch was a proud moment for us! After numerous requests to own the Netflix limited edition watch, we have some good news to share. You, too, can own something like it.
Introducing the 42mm Overland. Intended to be worn from the outdoors to the office and beyond, this watch fits almost every lifestyle. We have incorporated the classic design you like with a variety of color combinations to fit your personal style.
The Overland
The Overland is inspired by the simple, functional instruments that have served explorers and adventures for years. The Overland name is a reference to the act of traveling over or across land.
"I designed this watch with active people like myself in mind. It's a classic style timepiece that offers versatility and durability with materials such as sapphire crystal and 316L stainless steel, to take you from your outdoor adventures to your time in the office," said Peter Cho, Jack Mason Creative Director.
The textured dial, applied indices, and Italian leather strap allow you to take this watch in a more refined direction. While this 42mm watch is larger than our existing Field collection, it also has a sleek, minimalist design for people who are always on the move.
As Franker Hamer said in The Highwaymen, "People don't always know who they are until it's too late." Don't let your time for a new adventure with this inspired watch run out.
What's next for Jack Mason? Stay tuned.

Simply Timeless
Watches are typically purchased to celebrate major milestones or special occasions, and many are passed down from generation to generation. Whether it was gifted to you or you bought it for yourself, a watch reminds you of that particular time or special person in your life.
Our newest collection, the Heritage, is Jack Mason’s celebration of something old and the start of something new, all combined into one elegant collection that honors the most timeless and iconic watch silhouettes ever designed. Inspired by the beauty of classic vintage dress watches, our expert designers created this collection with clean lines and surface treatments, yet maintained a prevailing style that will always be admired.
“We believe in the historical significance of watchmaking, and our mission is to keep that tradition going by creating iconic timepieces that are accessible,” said Peter Cho, Jack Mason Creative Director.
The first watch in the Heritage collection is the Canton Day-Date. Available in both quartz and automatic, the Canton Day-Date incorporates beautiful vintage-inspired design and craftsmanship quality. This classic watch embodies a refined style with an enduring presence. It’s simply timeless.
“We had a fun time sketching out the idea for a day-date. The lines of the case flow quite seamlessly, which eliminated the need for any complex surfaces. We got back to watch basics, with the form knowing that the result would be magnificent with today’s finishing abilities,” said Cho.
A Jack Mason watch is classic and modern, timed but timeless, and beautiful yet enduring. You can celebrate your major milestone or special occasion with a timeless watch that fits your style and is sure to last.

Per-Suede-ed To Wear Suede
Are you looking to switch things up this season? Suede leather straps are here!
Wait, you said suede, and it's for spring? Yes! Although some consider it for fall or winter, incorporating elements of suede with accessories such as watches straps, shoes, and belts, can effortlessly elevate your warm-weather look. The new Jack Mason suede Overland watch is the perfect accessory to freshen things up this spring.
Not sure what the difference is between leather and suede? Commonly appreciated for its quality, appearance, and feel, suede is the soft and fuzzy underside of the hide. It's made by turning leather upside down, so it's face up. Its softness and flexibility make it a highly-desirable material.
It's time to jump on the spring suede bandwagon!
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
We elevated the Overland 38mm, our version of the classic camp watch, by adding a luxurious suede leather strap. The suede strap is fitted with quick release pins and is compatible with any Jack Mason 18mm strap. We also added fresh new colors on a sunray textured dial and applied markings that feature Swiss Super-Luminova® for high legibility. This 38mm Overland features a Miyota 1L45 movement encased in a 316L stainless steel case, assembled and tested for water-resistance of up to 100 meters.

Jack Mason and The Highwaymen
Have you seen The Highwaymen? We have too! Did you know Netflix asked Jack Mason to design a watch exclusively for the film's star-studded cast?
The widely talked about Netflix original film is the story of two Texas Rangers, played by Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson, who was challenged with taking down the infamous Bonnie and Clyde. As a Texas-based company, this was an exciting request for our team. Inspired by the enduring timepieces from the 1920s and 1930s, our designers went to work incorporating elements of the Texas landscape that reflected the theme and time of the movie.
"We chose to design a version of the camp watch because it has a classic look and takes inspiration from beautiful vintage watches. This case style also meshes well with the rugged environment surrounding Texas Rangers," said Colin Curry, Jack Mason's Senior Designer.
Featuring a gold-plated case, embossed lizard textured leather strap, and Swiss Super-LumiNova® markings for high legibility, this watch also has the Texas Rangers' star. The film's logo etched onto the case back to commemorate this fantastic film. Every person that sees this watch is amazed at how the Jack Mason team was able to pull together The Highwaymen theme into such an excellent timepiece.
The cast received their custom Jack Mason watches at the private party following The Highwaymen premier. The Jack Mason team jumped at the opportunity to participate in the film's South by Southwest experience on Rainey Street in Austin, Texas. The completely transformed basement of Bangers restaurant became a 1920s themed speakeasy. The attendees loved the watch design, and a few lucky winners got to go home with one of their own!
This is only scratching the service of what Jack Mason has in store this year. What's next? More to come on that...

Untouched Terrain
Journeying coast to coast through mountainous terrain and frigid temperatures, Jordan Rosen’s seventh trip to Iceland was an adventure to remember.
Jordan is a California based photographer who captures gorgeous images all over the world. He’s got a particular fondness for the Arctic. From off-road driving (Overlanding) to ski mountaineering, he enjoys the thrill of the outdoors that comes along with his job.
Jordan has always been a bit of an adventure seeker. After playing NCAA D1 Lacrosse at Hofstra University, he graduated college. He flipped his life upside down by dropping job offers and taking a trip to New Zealand with a small camera in hand and his heart on his sleeve.
“I took splendidly horrible photos, that, upon review, failed to help spark actual memories from my trip. I wanted to change that. I wanted to make images that helped me remember this trip, and if possible, that sparked the curiosity of my friends so that maybe they wanted to come with me next time,” said Jordan.
Even though Jordan left the lacrosse world behind, the athlete inside of him was quite restless. After college, he ventured into the world of triathlon and ski mountaineering.
Professional photography became an option when he had the opportunity to shoot photos of his friends who were competing in Triathlons and skiing professionally. He developed a portfolio and brands began to find him. Jordan’s photography focuses on landscapes and prominent wild places while showing human interactions with those landscapes. He takes gritty yet approachable images and identifies as a “mountain athlete with a camera” who is inspired by the fantastic athletes around him. He now shoots for some of the most elite outdoor brands in the world.
Intending to venture from north to south completely over-snow, in the dead of Icelandic winter, this dangerous trip required a lot of planning and preparation to become a viable reality. Jordan was accompanied by several of his friends, including Steve Lewis, a commercial arctic logistics expert, Palmi Baldursson, one of the world’s best arctic drivers, and Keree Smith, a fierce ski guide. “This combination of extremely experienced, talented people rarely leads to a bad time,” said Jordan.
In the wintertime, a lot of places in Iceland become even more remote as they are not accessible by road or even by helicopter since the weather is hard to predict. Arctic Trucks and man-powered skiing allows an adventurous thrill seeker to overcome this. “Steve frequently pushes my comfort level with trips and is candidly the whole reason this trip was able to happen safely,” said Jordan.
Jordan also looks to both Palmi and Keree to make an expedition like this possible. Palmi Baldursson is one of the best Arctic drivers in the world. He’s an Icelandic native and grew up in the Westfjords. Palmi spent three summers in Antarctica as a professional driver and mechanic. He was trusted to drive Prince Harry on a week-long expedition.
Keree is an expert ski guide who lives part-time in Alaska is confident in her abilities and herself. “Keree is fierce and can take charge of any testosterone-filled group in an instant. She isn’t a loud or commanding type of guide. She’s the calm, ‘stay with me if you want to live,’ type. She’s so calm that everyone becomes keenly aware she’s the best skier in the group…and we all pretty much grew up ski racing,” said Jordan.
The trip began as the group packed up all the food and gear that they would need for the journey across Iceland. From there, the four arctic-modified 70 Series 44-inch Land Cruisers began the drive up to the very northern edge of Iceland.“These large trucks are a part of Icelandic culture. They are one of the only ways to get around in the snow and ice,” said Jordan.
On the very start of their journey just outside of Reykjavik, one of the team’s trucks broke down on an icy road before even reaching off-road terrain. They had to tow the broken-down truck to a repair shop and consolidate everything into the remaining three trucks.
One truck short, they finally reached Siglufjordur, the small town where they’d start their journey south. The next morning, they set off, destined for a little hut where they would be spending their first three nights. Huts like these are scattered all across remote areas in Iceland, and they are usually closed during the winter months because no one can get to them, but during the summer, they can be popular places to stay.
To effectively drive over snow, the team drops the air pressure in their 44’’ tires to just 3 or 4 PSI to stay afloat on the snow with heavily laden trucks.
After a 9 hour drive over snow, roughly following Kjolur, a dirt road now buried under feet of snow that bisects Iceland, they reached their destination.
As they continued, they reached a small set of huts in the center of Iceland, near Kerlingarfjoll. “We took a few days to ski in this remote place and enjoyed the hot springs,” said Jordan. When you can’t drive, skiing is one of the only other modes of transportation in Iceland, but also poses dangers due to avalanches and frigid temperatures. Keree led the group through the severe conditions and ensured they would be safe while skiing these untouched areas of the country.
“The enormously high winds make the snowpack extremely hard to assess, and the way one aspect reads is almost no indication of another similar slope. We’re fortunate Keree is so accustomed to maritime snowpack here in Iceland, and not just Alaska,” Jordan said.
As the trip went on, the high humidity mixed with the blistering cold proved to be difficult on the equipment and cause some trouble for the team. The group had to stop multiple times along the trip to adjust the tire pressure, dig the truck out of deep snow, and chip ice out of the axels, springs, and driveshafts of the vehicles.
It takes a strong group of individuals to venture across Iceland in the wintertime. When digging trucks out of snow and prepping for the worst, you have to be able to adapt to any condition. This made the trip one that they will never forget.
The End.

The Power of the Sun
Introducing The Solar Watch
In honor of Earth Day, we are launching our first solar-powered watch. We felt Earth Day was the perfect time to debut our Solar Watch, not only because it is composed of recycled and sustainable materials, but because its unique features make it the ideal companion for any active outdoorsmen.
Inspiration and Design
As we were thinking of ways to evolve our field watch, we wanted to incorporate some of the tech-infused materials and sustainable trends advancing in the market. The biggest challenge was creating an environmentally friendly watch without sacrificing style and quality. Through challenging ourselves and our factory partners, we came up with innovative ways to incorporate eco-minded materials into each element of the watch. We chose the solar-powered movement not only for its lifespan and use of earth’s most available resource but also for its subtle encouragement to get outside and recharge it. In addition to cork, an accessible, sustainable resource, we used a recently developed recycled polyester upholstery to construct the interchangeable watch straps. For the watch case, we invested in a new tooling that allowed us to cast recycled stainless steel and use wastage from other case manufacturing.
Key Features
The 42mm stainless steel case is cast from recycled case blanks that would be otherwise unusable material, and it is tested for water resistance of up to 100 meters. The recycled polyester strap is made from used plastic bottles. The production process for this innovative material, developed by Kvadrat, is much more efficient than for virgin polyester. It uses less energy and chemicals, which minimizes CO2 emissions to make a genuine impact on the global environment. The Epson VS43 movement uses a solar cell that sits below a translucent black colored dial with Super-LumiNova® numbers and a day-date aperture. No need to replace the battery because it can run for six months on a fully charged solar panel.
The aluminum secondary crown controls a bi-directional compass bezel, which can be used for very basic orienteering.
Limited Box Set
For the box set, we partnered with Rite in the Rain to include one of their all-weather recyclable notebooks and pencils made from recycled newsprint. The box itself wrapped in recycled paper certified by the International Forest Stewardship Council, which contains greater than 60% recycled material. The set also includes an interchangeable Nato strap made from sustainable cork.
When purchasing the Solar Watch or Box Set, 5% will go to support Conservation International’s forest conservation efforts. They strive to protect tropical forests around the world, working directly with the communities that live in and depend on these forests. Together we will protect 50,000 trees.
You can purchase the watch for $325 or the box set for $375. Both are available for pre-order on jackmasonbrand.com and will ship out on Earth Day. There is a limited quantity available, so act fast.
