In 2016, my good friend Nick Quebbeman and I created Anchor Watch.

We sought to create a brand that we felt reflected on the Chicago experience.
Anchor Watch is defined as a detail of one or more sailors who keep watch on deck at night while a vessel is at anchor.

The namesake pays homage to both Chicago’s maritime history on the Great Lakes and the intrinsic values the people pride themselves on:

Loyalty, honesty, and grit.
