First (non Omega rip off) concept render under new brand!

So I've been experimenting for years, trying to find my own design language - at one point I had an entirely different development project under a sep...

Some experimental renders

So there's an ongoing project I've been hesitant to share with others in the watch community because it's very important to me.  I've figured out what...

Will MoonSwatch owners "belong" in the club?

First off, I'm biased.  This is to me the most exciting watch release in my lifetime.  Anyone that has ever walked into an Omega boutique as a young p...

Oh my dear god that feature needs to make a comeback starting yesterday!  How old is she?

10/10 God Tier lug design

commented on Make more "Little Langes", Lange! ·

Lange certainly has put itself in a pickle when it comes to design.  They're obligated to carry the forms that are rooted in their heritage, but this whole "wearing a dinner plate" trend has demanded sizes that don't support the visual signatures.  It works in small seconds models, but not in most.  You have to figure as well that Lange would be even more sensitive to trends than others might be, as the average Lange customer is buying their last watch, which must be perfect in every way.

YEAAAAHHH there we go!  Outstanding and beautiful watch.  I can't imagine what a faff it must be to source a crystal for it.  Does it get a lot of wrist time?

Well of course, that's the plan!  It's one thing to ask people to show me their vintage pieces, but it's even better if they think it's their own idea! MUAHAHAHA!! 😜

I mean you could make the argument that it makes sense to present the viewer with as close to an upright image as possible... I guess.  What a whacky find!

commented on 1969-1973 Shanghai #3 HaiShi/Sea Lion brand ·

The logo on the dial, and the whole package for that matter, just wonderful.  That's a beautiful watch, even the movement is pretty in it's unique utilitarian way.  What a cool post!
