Hugh writes haiku poems based upon movies he's seen and then makes artwork to go with the haikus. We thought it would be interesting to meld our two mediums and this is one of the watches we have come up with. Basically Hugh creates the design for the watch and I take care of the engineering and fabrication of it.
Hugh's haiku for this piece is:

This watch has been handcrafted in sterling silver and sports an oxidized sterling silver bezel. The dial has been oxidized and the recessed pattern has been filled luminous compound. The text and design on the crystal has been laser engraved into it.
For all my watches, I handcraft the case, caseback, dial and sometimes the crown and it is fully assembled by me. The movement or mechanism of the watch is a high quality Swiss made part.

I may or may not have this item in stock. If it is not in stock it usually takes 4 - 6 weeks for production, so if you need it quickly, please convo me first to see if it's available.
Please note that all of my sterling silver watches come with rhodium plating on them to prevent tarnishing. A requirement for rhodium plating is to have nickel plated on the item before it is rhodium plated. If you are allergic to nickel, don't worry! Palladium can be substituted for nickel in the plating process or all plating can be omitted. If you would like to purchase one of my watches and change what type of plating it has, please make a note for me during the checkout process. Thanks!
I use Canada Post Xpresspost for my shipping method and include an appropriate level of insurance coverage for your watch for sterling silver watches.
For most of my stainless steel watches I use Canada Post Expedited Parcel service and it comes with an appropriate level of coverage for your watch. If you would like an upgraded method of shipment or insurance coverage, please let me know before checkout as a nominal charge may apply.
Please note that my shipping charges may be slightly higher than some sellers, but I want to make sure that your watch purchase is fully insured and arrives in a timely manner that is traceable. Thanks for understanding.
