The Earhart Project Watch was the foundation of a fundraising campaign that we designed for an international aviation organization that was involved in the search for Amelia Earhart’s missing Lockheed Electra aircraft.

This watch contains a dial made of black pearl from Pinctada Margaritifera oysters harvested in the Nikumaroro area.

Back in 1977, deep in the Chott El Gharsa Tunisian desert, a group of filmmakers gathered to shoot a movie called Star Wars. When finished, they left behind the "Lars Homestead Igloo" which over the years fell into disrepair due to the harsh Tunisian desert climate.

Back in 1977, deep in the Chott El Gharsa Tunisian desert, a group of filmmakers gathered to shoot a movie called Star Wars. When finished, they left behind the "Lars Homestead Igloo" which over the years fell into disrepair due to the harsh Tunisian desert climate. In 2012, a group of Star Wars fans raised money to repair the igloo and we designed a "Tatooine Sand Watch" to help with this effort. These watches were very popular and we sold several thousand of them.

With some 19,217 American casualties occurring within 36 days, the island of Iwo Jima, was the site of the fiercest fighting during World War II. Honoring the fighting spirit of the Marine Corps, we designed a fundraiser based on a special wristwatch that displays genuine Iwo Jima black volcanic sand under the dial. It was this porous sand that presented great challenges to the brave Marines that landed at Iwo Jima on Feb 19, 1945.

A few years ago we designed GemDust, a series of watches for Princess Cruise Lines. These beautiful watches encapsulate the semi-precious gemstone tailings ("GemDust") that comes from jewelry production from around the world. The intention was that GemDust watches would be a private brand sold exclusively on Princess cruise ships through their on-board jewelry stores. The project was put on hold due to Covid and other delaying factors.

After the success of our Stars Wars fundraising watches, we were approached by the Hollywood agent representing actor Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca). He wondered if we could make a watch for his Mayhew Foundation. We designed several watches for him but, unfortunately, the project was put on hold due to Peter's declining health. (Peter Mayhew died April 30th, 2019.)

Steampunk is a genre of science fiction that takes place in a fictional world where steam power is still widely used. It is characterized by a blend of Victorian-era aesthetics and futuristic technology, often featuring steam-powered machinery, clockwork mechanisms, and retro-futuristic inventions.

Considered the greatest music festival of all time, artists such as Joan Baez; Janis Joplin; Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young; The Who; Joe Cocker, and the Grateful Dead, all played on the same 8,000 sq. ft. plywood platform.
