For most enthusiasts in the world of watches, even the smallest scratch on a timepiece can become a significant eyesore— diminishing both the aesthetic appeal and value of something deeply cherished. Moreover, the constant annoyance of having to remove watches while working only adds to the inconvenience. Recognizing these challenges, 19th&, a brand founded by passionate watch enthusiasts Mitch Shulman and David Mostovoy, has introduced an innovative solution: WatchPads. These smartly crafted pads are designed to protect your valuable accessories while adding a touch of sophistication to your workspace.
Founded by Shulman and Mostovoy at the intersection of 19th Avenue and Anza Street in San Francisco, the company from its start is the story of a shared vision meeting innovation. With a mutual love for watches and a keen eye for detail, the founders set out to create products that seamlessly integrate into the lives of business professionals and watch aficionados alike, in-turn meeting a need in the market with a product then-soon to be created in the WatchPad.
The return to the office has rekindled in many the love for wearing watches and jewelry more generally. However, this shift brings back the challenge of protecting these accessories from the hard surfaces of laptops and desks. Scratches on watches and laptops, the discomfort of metal scraping against surfaces, and the inconvenience of removing and wearing back accessories are common issues faced by many. WatchPads by 19th& offer a solution that addresses all these concerns.
At 19th&, the mission is to blend functionality with style, creating products that cater to the dynamic needs of modern professionals. The commitment to quality is evident in every WatchPad. By continually improving and innovating, 19th& aims to provide seamless day-to-day wear of watches through its products, making life easier and more comfortable for enthusiasts.
Crafted from high-quality Ultrasuede and premium adhesives, each WatchPad is handmade in the United States, ensuring exceptional craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail. By choosing WatchPads, you’re not only protecting your valuables but also supporting American jobs and partaking in a tradition of quality American craftsmanship.
