In the mountain passes of the Crowsnest, Alberta rum is moving south across the border into a dry United States — and the men moving it are running on railroad time. Three decades earlier, a conductor's watch stopped for four minutes on an Ohio rail line, eleven people died, and the American watch industry was changed forever. By the Prohibition years, those precision instruments were everywhere — including on the chains of the men who knew when the next southbound freight crossed the border, and looked the other way.Join Ironhorse Timepieces for an evening that brings that world back to life, through stories of Alberta's rum running era in the early 20th century and the story of the railroad pocket watch — why it existed, what it took to make it, and why the same precision timekeeping standards governed both the conductors and the contraband.The evening includes a guided tasting of three of Romero's award-winning rums, two signature prohibition-era cocktails, and light snacks. Ironhorse timepieces from the era will be on display throughout, each carrying its own story from the period.History. Craft. A measure of something excellent in the glass. Seating is intimate and limited.This is a live, in-person gathering where history meets style—perfect for watch lovers and history buffs alike.

Each movement is restored and regulated by Ironhorse's master watchmakers in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland — the watchmaking capital of the world — before being housed in a custom-machined case in the wearer's choice of case materials and finish, fitted with a sapphire crystal front and rear, and paired with a hand-stitched cow or exotic leather strap.The result is a watch that is genuinely one of a kind. Not limited edition. Not inspired by the past. The past itself, made wearable.Only one of each of our watches exists.Ironhorse was founded on the belief that the golden age of American watchmaking — the years when Waltham, Elgin, Hamilton, and Illinois led the world in precision — deserves to be worn, not preserved under glass, or thrown in a drawer or safe, never to be seen.The movements we carry - each of which is an absolute masterpiece - both from a quality perspective as well as aesthetically - were made by craftspeople whose names are unknown, for men and women whose names are equally lost. We give them a second life on the wrists of people who understand that the most meaningful objects are the ones with a story already written into them.Wear the one thing that was never replaceable -Time- the only luxury that cannot be bought back.Based in Calgary. Restored in Switzerland. Worn everywhere.www.ironhorsewatches.com" } ] } ] ```
