Black & White
Not usually one to order parts for a watch until I had imagined and settled on what I wanted to create But I had done exactly that. I just thought the case was curious enough to order it, but then had forgotten all about it. I didn’t even purchase I dial or decide on what…
Ostero-horology!?
I love learning about the history behind horology and the varied methodology and styles used to produce a timepiece, for me, however, the skeleton movements arouse the most curiosity.

Adding a splash of colour!
The black dial of a Seiko divers watches, although a classic, with the brightly luminous phosphorescent circles and a triangle with the chrome borders, confirms its Sieko identity…It begs to be changed. Especially so when stored amongst other Seiko diver watches. Every morning, competing for wrist time, an old favourite doesn’t command attention like the…
