New projects, your input requested!
It’s been an 18 month marathon but with the LRRP due to ship in the next few months we are close to completing the build out of the core of our watch collection. After keeping my head down and buried in my work for so long I think this a good time to come up for some fresh air and explore some limited edition projects that will capture the spirit of what drew us to collect watches in the first place. What I would really like to do is to set aside as much as possible the realities of a business and produce some watches that can be done for their own sake. After being approached by JohnF and Crusader from WUS I am currently involved in an A-11 homage that I hope will get off the ground. Toward that end I would like to get started by getting your input on one project in process and two proposed projects.
1) Tornek-Rayville: This is a project that I have been working on for a number of years and is more personal than business. I don’t expect to sell more than a handful per year but I wanted to revive the company mark given its one of only a handful of American watch companies that made dive watches for the US military. I registered the mark with the US Patent and Trademark Office (#78967903). The dial and my registration are in the final stage and I wanted to get collector’s feedback as to the final layout. If you would like to learn more about this watch below is a link to a history that was researched by Billy and I about a year ago.
Assuming enough interest the next two projects will be organized as a collaboration between myself and the collector’s community where we will work together on the final design and I will execute the production. If necessary I will set up a forum for the purpose of developing these projects. Given the limited production run of these projects we will be free to consider a number of options not normally available.
2) Proto-Seamaster 300 reference CK
3) “Bond” Submariner reference 6200/6538/5510
With your help I would like to take a gauge of the potential interest in these projects. My thanks to the community for your continuing support.
