Roland G. Murphy is an American watchmaker based in one of the country's traditional watchmaking centers - Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Murphy was trained as a watchmaker in Switerland and made contacts there to allow him to produce watches with Swiss parts, but entirely American designs - his own. His company produces only a small number of watches each year as they are still 'hand made' in the style of the old Swiss firms. He remains well regarded for the high quality craftsmanship of his timepieces and the classical elegance of his designs.
