Tea Party (Update)

The first model of the Wonderland Series is now available for sale via my Etsy store. In the first Tea Party post, I described a little about my brand 10/6 (ten six) and introduced the design of the Tea Party model, minus the logo. Well, now it is complete and here are the pictures and details.

Also, I have created a new area of the website to keep my watch designs and builds organized: Ten Six Watches. Do also take a look at the Glass Series.

The Description
Tea Party is the beginning of the Wonderland series. A classical design, reminiscent of pocket watches with Roman numerals and a fancy hand style. It makes me think of a formal tea party with guests decked out in dark tones in an under-lit room. Perhaps it is a style of watch The Mad Hatter would wear?

The Seagull ST3621 or Swiss ETA6498 can be selected for this watch, but in my opinion the Seagull ST3621 provides a more visually appealing look for the reverse. The ST3621 is lower cost, and the metal has a darker tone and engraving which suits the black case version. I particularly like the arc pattern machined into the bridge along with the star at center and the wave toward the edge.

Along with the two movements possible, three different cases are possible: Black PVD (pictured), brushed stainless steel, and polished stainless steel.

If you are interested in purchasing this build-to-order watch, you should contact me directly first to discuss case and movement selection.

Disclaimer: The dial says “Swiss Made,” because the dial comes from Switzerland, but it is not “Swiss Made” as a watch, though it can be purchased with a Swiss movement. The watch pictured is the prototype build.

Buyers should be comfortable with a hand wound movement (manual wind) and reading an analog face. I will provide any additional information about the watch and movement as necessary. The watch is sold as is. Any legit watchmaker or shop should be able to do normal maintenance on the watch if necessary, but I can also perform maintenance or repair if desired (at cost).
