Ross McBride was born in the Northeastern United States in 1962. He earned his bachelor’s degree in graphic design from the California Institute of the Arts, and upon graduation in 1985, moved promptly to Tokyo where he has lived ever since. In 2006, designer Ross McBride created Normal Timepieces as a venue to express his own aesthetic, and thoughts on design. Raised in the United States, and living his entire adult life in Japan, Ross has been greatly influenced by pioneering mid-century American design, as well as the Japanese sense of minimalism, and craftsmanship. Ross believes that the products we choose for ourselves, particularly the ones we carry with your brand. Our products are created for those who appreciate such subtlety, and have a quiet confidence in their own design sensibilities.
