All-New Community Features at the Core of The 1916 Company App

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The 1916 Company, global leader in collectible watches and jewelry, announces the roll out of its redesigned mobile app, unveiling a collector-focused experience designed to bring its worldwide community closer through conversation, connection, and collecting.

The 1916 Company app has evolved into a dynamic hub for discovery and dialogue. In addition to daily editorial, video content, collection management tools, and seamless access to new and pre-owned timepieces, the latest version introduces an all-new community tab, created to deepen engagement and foster relationships across a global network of collectors. Within this dedicated space, users can share and comment on wrist shots, showcase their collections, discuss the industry news of the day, or seek advice from the community on purchase decisions – without the distractions often found in broader social communities.

"At The 1916 Company, we believe that watch collecting is about much more than what's on your wrist; it's about how our passion for watches connects us," shared John Shmerler, CEO of The 1916 Company. "The relaunch of our app brings that belief to life, creating a new space where knowledge is shared, habits are tracked, and conversations unfold in real time."
