14k White Gold Watch

Fully restored. One of a kind. Bastion Blue dial. Gorgeous. 

Is this watchmaking blasphemy?

With gold near an all-time high, when vintage American watches fall into the wrong hands—
a jeweler, or even a retailer—they don’t get restored.

They get melted.

We’re buying vintage American timepieces before they disappear forever.
We fully restore the movements: cleaned, rebuilt, and regulated beyond factory spec.

Then we change the look. Completely.

We sand the dials back to raw brass and refinish them in bold, unexpected colors.
We pair them with equally bold, top-tier leather straps.

New crystals.
Polished cases.
Refinished hands and markers.

It’s an extraordinary amount of work re-imagining forgotten American masterpieces into something new, modern, wearable, and alive again.

Some purists will hate it.

So, we’ll ask you:
Are we committing blasphemy?
Or preventing it?
