Our Story


Founded in 2023, Wren’s story actually began long before that. Founder Craig Karger began collecting watches when he was young. That led him to start Wrist Enthusiast as an Instagram account in 2015. A former practicing litigation attorney based in New York City, Craig began Wrist Enthusiast to get more involved in the watch industry. In 2021, Wrist Enthusiast expanded to a blog, followed by YouTube account and Podcast in 2023.

Looking for a creative outlet (and to utilize the Wrist Enthusiast platform) Craig began working on Wren. Taking into account his experience reviewing watches, he released Wren’s first watch in 2024, the Diver One Aqua. A Swiss Made automatic watch, the Diver One features both vintage and modern aesthetics with a showstopper aqua dial. After almost a year in development, Wren (WRist ENthusiast) is finally available for sale.
