Brand Directory: Oak & Oscar

In 2015, Chase Fancher founded Oak & Oscar after leaving the real estate industry to pursue a more fulfilling project. Based in Chicago, he has assembled a team of like-minded individuals who are passionate about crafting high-quality timepieces, each with its own unique story.

It is uncommon for a young independent micro-brand to have its own watchmaker, but Chase has hired Nathan Bobinchak, who holds a certification from the Swiss American Watchmakers Training Alliance at the Lititz Watch Technicum in Pennsylvania. Nathan has been a bench watchmaker and a watchmaking instructor for the Horological Society of New York, utilizing his skills to their fullest potential.
