All are hand crafted, some using swiss ETA movements, some using Japenese auto movements, and some using quartz movements. Their pieces range from $600-$1500. They've recently been featured in Maxim, Playboy, and various other publications. I just got the M7 Tungsten from them which I love. I find myself grabbing my M7 before some of my bigger brand name pieces. It really is a looker. They have many to choose from, and many come with two straps, and in some cases, a bracelet. Here are some pictures they sent me of the final product before they shipped it out to me. |
I knew the owner of this company before he made his first watch. His real selling feature is the lume he is using. To me he is a great guy, but his designs are from other makers. Panerai (who he started out modding) and Anonimo.
Here is an Anonimo:
