Horology outlet aBlogtoWatch has concluded its two-part franchise matching series by pairing the remaining 16 NFL teams with specific wristwatches, linking mechanical designs to team history, colorways, and regional trivia.
Historical milestones anchored several prominent selections across the list. The Arizona Cardinals were matched with the purple-hued Atelier Wen Perception Millesime Mù to commemorate Violet Bidwill, who made history in 1947 as the NFL’s first female team owner. For the San Francisco 49ers, the publication highlighted a 1949 Rolex Oyster Perpetual ref. 5030, connecting the reference year and yellow-gold aesthetic to California’s 1849 Gold Rush prospectors. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Browns were paired with Jacob & Co.’s self-celebratory “God of Time” watch to evoke team co-founder and namesake Paul Brown.
Regional ties and distinct visual motifs informed other roster decisions. Hometown independent watchmaker Tsao Baltimore provided a purple dive watch for the Baltimore Ravens, while the Tennessee Titans were assigned the marble-crafted Giuliano Mazzuoli Carrara as a tribute to Nashville’s full-scale Parthenon replica. Additional pairings incorporated local municipal lore, such as a quartz Certina GMT highlighting Buffalo’s early adoption of electric street lighting, and a tri-color Casio G-Shock MT-G channeling the traditional Mardi Gras palette of New Orleans.
