Founded in 2021 by former Hodinkee editor Cara Barrett, Parchie is a New York-based watch brand dedicated to making time-telling fun for children. Named after Barrett’s childhood imaginary friend, the brand was born from a desire to create well-designed, analog timepieces that appeal to both kids and watch-enthusiast parents. Drawing heavily on Barrett’s horological background, Parchie’s aesthetic is inspired by classic vintage dive watches, distilled into playful, easy-to-read formats.
