The James McCabe site presents the name as part of a historical watchmaking family. Its about page says James McCabe was born in 1748 in Ireland and was part of the McCabe watchmaking dynasty. A brand blog post says he moved to Belfast, apprenticed under his brother, and set up his own business in London in 1775 at Bells Building, Fleet Street. The same post says James McCabe and his descendants continued producing timepieces for more than a century.
The site attributes several historical claims to the earlier House of McCabe. The blog says the family produced more than 50,000 watches, 7,000 clocks, and 500 marine chronometers over a 100 year history. It also names Lord Horatio Nelson and George Washington as owners of McCabe timepieces, and says Washington purchased a McCabe pocket watch in Philadelphia in 1793.
For the modern brand, the site describes the range as vintage inspired timepieces made in stainless steel, with leather and other strap materials, and with Japanese automatic or quartz movements. Collections shown on the site have included Baja, Baja Chrono, Baja Diver Automatic, Baja GMT, Belfast, Bobber Automatic, Brat, Colcham Chronograph, Grande Heritage, Heritage, Heritage Automatic, Legacy Diver, London, London Automatic, Martin GMT, Rally Automatic, Scrambler, Scrambler Chronograph, Sturgis Calendar, and Two Forty Five Limited Edition.
