Ready-to-Wear & Custom Builds
In addition to custom projects, I frequently have completed bronze watches available for immediate purchase.
These ready-to-wear pieces can often ship within 1–2 business days and are ideal for buyers who want a unique bronze watch without waiting for a custom build.
Inventory changes regularly, so please contact me for photos of currently available watches.
If you don’t see exactly what you’re looking for, I can also create a custom watch tailored to your preferences.

Why Bronze?
Bronze is one of the most fascinating materials used in modern watchmaking.
Unlike stainless steel, bronze develops a natural patina over time. Exposure to air, moisture, skin chemistry, and everyday wear gradually changes the appearance of the metal.
No two bronze watches age exactly the same.
Many collectors enjoy the fact that their watch evolves over time and develops a look unique to its owner. The watch truly becomes your own.

⸻
Dial Options
There are several ways to approach your build:
I Can Provide a Dial
I maintain an inventory of various dials and components. Available inventory changes regularly.
I Can Source a Dial
If you’re looking for something specific, I can often source components to match your vision.
You Can Provide a Dial
If you already own a dial you’d like incorporated into a build, I can evaluate compatibility and determine whether it will work with the selected case and movement.
Please message me for photos of current inventory and available options.
⸻
Important Information About Customer-Supplied Dials
Not every dial will fit every case or movement.
Factors that must be considered include:
* Dial diameter
* Movement compatibility
* Date window alignment
* Hand compatibility
* Case dimensions
Generally speaking, no-date dials offer the greatest flexibility, while date configurations require additional alignment considerations.
If you’re unsure whether a dial will work, simply send photos and measurements and I’ll be happy to help determine compatibility.

Additional Customization Options
Beyond case, movement, dial, and strap selection, many additional customization options are available depending on the project.
Available options may include:
* Custom hand sets
* Alternative rotors
* Sapphire exhibition casebacks
* Solid casebacks
* Engraved casebacks (when available)
* Various bezel styles
* Multiple crystal profiles, including domed and vintage-style crystals
* Alternative lume colors and vintage-inspired finishes
If you have a specific vision in mind, feel free to send photos or examples and I will help determine the best components to achieve the look you’re after.
