I am a watch enthusiast and maker that likes to share my thoughts and projects. As for credentials, I have a doctorate in computing, not horology. Member NAWCC. Watch on YouTube!
I am currently not taking orders for custom watch builds and will be focusing on making custom holders and watch designs I choose to create. I welcome general inquiries related to watches and watchmaking.
I get numerous emails about custom watch builds and this form (currently disabled) is intended to streamline the process, while weeding out less serious inquiries. For starters, if you want a custom watch, expect that asking a watchmaker to build you a custom one-off watch costs a premium.
Final cost depends on the components chosen for the watch and the dial-work, but minimal cost is likely to be around $500 and upward for fairly standard builds, while builds with custom dial making are usually around $1,000 and upward.
The average time-frame for a custom build is 6-9 months. Could be shorter, could be longer, but be assured I maintain communication and provide regular updates.
Based on your request details, I will communicate what is possible and estimated cost. If we end up on the same page and move forward I would create a graphical design if necessary and go from there.
