Barry Kaplan

Barry B. Kaplan is an author, entrepreneur, advisor, and designer whose work sits at the intersection of technology, craftsmanship, business, and luxury.

Over a career spanning more than three decades, he has founded and scaled businesses, held senior executive and operational roles across multiple industries, and helped guide a pioneering neural-interface technology company through its successful NASDAQ IPO. His experience has ranged from product development and systems design to strategy, operations, consumer markets, and the business of luxury.

Kaplan is the author of Horology, an exploration of the history, mechanics, design, and culture of the wristwatch. His writing reflects the same curiosity that has shaped his career: an interest in how extraordinary objects are conceived, engineered, made, valued, and ultimately become meaningful to the people who own them.

He lives in northern New Jersey.
