Astor+Banks Chrono Review
Astor+Banks is a new boutique brand based out of Chicago that has really hit the ground running. I had the pleasure of getting brunch with the founders a couple of months ago, and I found their approach both honest and compelling. They’re not setting out to change the world one watch at a time, they’re not trying to convince you that other watches are inferior��they simply want to make good watches with great style at approachable prices. They also didn't jump in headfirst, hastily making something to get their brand out there. No, they've been careful and cautious, making sure that their watches, the components and the story all work.One particularly important element of their story is that the watches are all assembled in their offices in Chicago. The components, which are largely Asian made, come in, are inspected and put together by trained watch makers locally to ensure quality control. While this step isn't truly necessary, it's not like every watch assembled in China
