Crown & Carry is a new one-man shop out of Holmen, Wisconsin, now stocking its shelves. One side will be my own watch collection — inspected, honestly described, and sold one piece at a time. The other is everyday carry gear — hand-picked pieces, added as each one passes my own quality check.
Welcome to Crown & Carry, a small, newly formed men's boutique based out of Holmen, Wisconsin. Born out of the personal collection of a lifelong enthusiast and collector of timepieces and EDC items, we offer restored vintage pieces, rugged field watches, durable smartwatches, everyday carry items, and much more — everything to improve the style and daily needs of the modern gentleman. Feel free to reach out about anything that sparks your interest, customization of a watch you already own, or just browse our ever-growing, ever-changing selection of timepieces and EDC items.

Nothing in this section yet — new pieces list every week.
These are my keepers — the pieces that stay in the box. They're here as examples of what can be sourced, not as listings: no prices, nothing to buy off this shelf.
Seen here are examples of luxury and exotic or vintage discontinued watches I am able to obtain certified through a third party dealer.
Feel free to contact if you are interested in adding a piece similar to your personal collection! Reach me at CrownandCarry17@gmail.com or (608) 399-4186.
Looking for something that isn't on the shelf? Tell me what you're after — a watch box sized to your collection, an EDC pen with exactly the tools you want, a watch hunted down for you, or a custom watch built your way.

Fill these in once — they ride along with whichever inquiry you send below.
Pick the main choices for your build and send them over — I'll spec the movement, case, and finishing options and price it out with you.
Your build summary will appear here, ready to send.
A box or roll that fits your collection — tell me the size, the look, and the budget.

Shoot each collection watch in window light — face, case back, clasp, flaws — and swap the photos and final asking prices into its listing.
Payments run through PayPal Goods & Services, so every buyer is covered. A Stripe checkout link per product is the upgrade when volume picks up.
