@hackmartian Thanks so much for this David.
It's given me huge boost, putting into words the feelings I have and struggle to articulate.
I'm strict on myself designing only watches that are spun from stories or thoughts that resonate positivity for me. I figure that discipline keeps me honest and will prevent me from ever turning out something compromised; ie. Conceived with one eye on turning a buck.
Years in advertising photography had me always searching to preserve some crumbs of honesty in my work, a frustrating pursuit, but gave me the motivation to really do my best. Not setting out to seduce or deceive, rather to present the best testament possible of the subject in hand.
I don't believe my watches will be worn as a badge.
I hope rather that they accompany the wearer on their journey, a positive amulet, gently reminding of the possibilities in each passing day, hour, moment.
Ah, thank you, I'd very much look forward to that.
I read that you are a doctor. A while back I received a lovely email, out of the blue, from a Doctor in California. She told me she uses my story to help other stroke patients look at their new lives in a positive light.
I was very touched, we chatted and I asked her could I name a design after her as she had a beautiful and unusual name, Tamika.
This is the watch. The three flowers are Tamika, her partner and their son.
It's brushed brass, treated with Silver oxide before the graveur to give a champagne effect.
Thank you Tom, indeed this area is stunning. I first visited in 2020 and thought I'd arrived in some enormous James Bond film set.
So when my watchmaker training was finished we decided to stay on and establish the business here.
