In 2006, yet another of Kobold’s celebrity acquaintances — he has cultivated quite a few — called him for a favor. Conservative radio and TV pundit Glenn Beck had the idea to raise money for victims of the September 11 terror attacks and asked Kobold if he would supply a watch to sell for the fundraising effort. Fortunately, Kobold had the perfect project waiting in the wings. “I had registered the name ‘Spirit of America’ many years ago,” he says. “I asked [Beck] if he’d like a whole line of watches with that name instead of just one. He jumped at it. I decided then that I couldn’t just put out a Swiss-made watch, call it Spirit of America and sell it for a 9/11 charity. It’s too gimmicky. So that was the first Kobold watch assembled entirely in the United States — which was a big deal, because we had just started our in-house repair facilities here in Pittsburgh.” That first Spirit of America model was a limited series, sold basically at cost; Kobold claims he neither made nor wanted any profit on it. Several early models worn by celebrities were auctioned off, with proceeds donated to the United Services Organization of New York City. Still, Kobold didn’t believe there would be a demand for more. “I never thought it would become a huge seller because it’s not a typical Kobold watch, in the sense that it doesn’t have a particular function,” he says. “It doesn’t even have a seconds hand. But it was a huge success. That’s when I realized the ‘Swiss Made’ on the dial isn’t always necessary. I’ve wanted to make an American-made watch for a while, but I thought the market wasn’t ready for it. I was wrong. So I decided to accelerate the progress we were already making.” That progress, which I witnessed at the Kobold facilities in a still-industrial corner of Pittsburgh’s Robinson Township, now includes the construction of the watch case, whose pieces are now 100 percent made in the U.S.A., including the crown, crown tubes, lug bars and screws. The stainless steel used in the case construction is made from raw materials mined in Western Pennsylvania. The domed sapphire crystal is grown, cut and polished here as well.
