Inspired by Classic Jewish Delis

From Carnegie to Canter's to Manny's to Zingerman's, the Jewish deli is the mainstay of our culture. Like jazz and pizza, it's our gift to America and it's the last thing they still love about us.

The Microbrand

We wanted to commemorate the hallowed sanctuary of meat, smoked fish, and black and white cookies with a timepiece as perfect as the pastrami at Katz’s.

Glatt means smooth in Yiddish. It also means it follows a higher standard of quality. No word better encapsulates what we’re creating here with our microbrand.

These are automatic timepieces painstakingly crafted with premium materials and a whole lot of respect for both high horology and Semitic gastronomy.

Our Story

Glatt was founded by Iron Mike Gellman and Peter Hecht, entrepreneurs raised on knishes, kishke, tongue, and matzoh ball soup. We’re passionate about watches and delis. This is our love letter to both.
