(Las Vegas, NV) – Abingdon Co., the pioneering watch brand crafting tool-grade timepieces for women with a penchant for adventure, is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its inaugural brick-and-mortar showroom in downtown Las Vegas at 353 E. Bonneville Avenue, Suite 171, Las Vegas, NV, 89101 along with a school for watch technicians and a local assembly facility marking the future of watchmaking in Las Vegas.
About the New Flagship Space
Abingdon Co.’s Las Vegas showroom is unlike any traditional watch boutique. Situated just down the street from its corporate offices, the space is designed for appointments-first shopping experiences and flexible use as an event venue and mini tradeshow hub. The showroom is helmed by founder and avid pilot Abingdon Mullin, who personally oversees customer experience and community engagement.
“People ask why Las Vegas. My answer is simple: Las Vegas is the brand,” says founder Abingdon Mullin. “This is a city built on imagination, audacity, and work ethic. It rewards people who show up, think differently, and build something out of nothing. That’s exactly what we do at Abingdon Co.”
At the Grand Opening on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, Abingdon Mullin was joined by Mayor Berkley, friends from the media, neighbors in the Arts District, family, supporters, and the incredible customers, better known as Crew Members.
“Seeing all of you here today feels both exhilarating and very, very moving,” Abingdon Mullin remarked at the opening of the ribbon cutting ceremony with Mayor Berkley.
A Brand by Women, for Women Who Do More
Since 2007, Abingdon Co. has carved a unique niche—creating high-performance watches tailored for women in aviation, diving, motorsports, tactical fields, and equestrian life. The brand’s guiding philosophy: listen closely to the needs of women who live boldly and design products that meet them where they are. No more will women be an afterthought when it comes to professional-grade tool watches.
“Our watches have crossed oceans, flown in flight decks, gone underwater, climbed mountains, hiked deserts, competed in races, run marathons, survived boardrooms, and lived everyday life on your wrists,” shares Abingdon Mullin.
Vision Beyond the Grand Opening
Looking forward, Abingdon Co.’s new space is more than a showroom. It’s a permanent home for American watchmaking in Las Vegas.
“Today is a milestone for the company, but it’s also a launchpad for the city,” says Abingdon Mullin.
First Abingdon Co. will create a school for watch technicians in Las Vegas to address the national shortage of trained watchmakers. This school will give people a chance to learn a skilled trade that blends engineering, mechanics, and art. It will create careers, not just jobs. And it will help keep mechanical watchmaking alive in the United States.
Next Abingdon Co. is developing a local assembly facility in Las Vegas so watches can be built by human hands, piece by piece, in this community.
Lastly, Abingdon Co.’s long-term goal is to manufacture watches from start to finish in Las Vegas. Not overseas. Not partially. All of it. Here in Las Vegas.
“This city is capable of more than entertainment and tourism,” says Abingdon Mullin. “Las Vegas can build things. Las Vegas can manufacture. Las Vegas can train the next generation of watch technicians, engineers, and craftspeople. And Abingdon Co. is going to be part of that future.”
In addition, Abingdon Co. will be hosting monthly public classes where anyone can learn: – how a mechanical watch works
- how to take one apart
- how to care for it
- and why watches matter even in a digital world
“When you understand the inner workings—the gears, springs, and tolerances—you realize a watch isn’t just something you wear. It’s engineering on your wrist. It’s art powered by physics. It’s human thinking made mechanical. And I want more people—especially our youth—to see that and say, ‘That’s something I can do,’” says Abingdon Mullin.
About Abingdon Co.
When Abingdon Mullin became a pilot in 2006, she went looking for an aviator’s watch that could handle the realities of flying—pressure changes, vibration, timing functions, materials that hold up—but most importantly, a pilot’s watch that could fit her small wrist. And everywhere she looked, the answer was the same: No one makes pilot watches for women. It’s not a big enough market.
Abingdon didn’t agree, and she wasn’t alone.
She got together with a group of female pilots—real women, working in real flight decks—and together they made a list of everything a watch needed to function in their world. The first watch wasn’t born from theory or marketing. It was born from necessity. From lived experience. And from the belief that women deserve tools designed for them. That was the beginning of Abingdon Co. Not as a fashion brand, not as a vanity project, but as a maker of professional-grade instruments for women who do more.
Over the years, Abingdon Co. has grown from aviation to diving, racing, outdoor, engineering, entrepreneurship, motherhood—because women don’t fit in one lane. We never have.
