*Folks often ask what influences my design process, in addition to horological references. Having a personal background in fine art, product design, and graphics (and being an Art/Creative Director for two decades), my inspiration palette is eclectic and layered to say the least. However a cohesive "Creative Sandbox" clearly exists. ⁠⠀

I'm currently going through my archive of collages, sketches, mood boards, and creative nuggets—all culled from a large scrapbook covering more than 20 years of work (1997-present). It's been an invigorating experience to reengage with content and ideas that still inform my cross-disciplinary work. ⁠⠀

Currently prepping a unique "Monobander" Edition for its new owner in New York. I've got to admit that I'll really miss this one. I almost kept it for my own wrist! ⁠
⁠
Each watch has its own presence and story that remains embedded with the piece—a quality that makes an art object, heirloom (or timepiece) truly special. ⁠

The dramatic patina of this Intaglio "Super 60" di

The dramatic patina of this Intaglio "Super 60" dial is one of our favorites. The steel gray coloring is the result of a custom patina solution, followed by an engraving process to reveal the rich copper substrate. The outcome is a dial that feels both old and fresh, with its own unique story to tell. ⁠
