Wow it's been kind of ugly over here since the last post. I was supposed to go on vacation, but due to a head cold that just would not go away, I had to cancel my trip to the mountains of Colorado. (Most of you don't know this, but I am completely deaf in my right ear as a result of an ear infection I had about 9 years ago...so I am ultra-paranoid about getting colds, flu, and flying while sick).
So I pretty much stayed inside and tried to recover. We don't get sick very often here in Hawaii, but when we do, it's a doozy.
So I took antibiotics and got better until I had a bad reaction to the antibiotics and got worse...yeah it was one of those kind of illnesses.
But now, finally I am feeling better. 100% I dare to say.
While I was down we had some fun stuff happen - we got the titanium case prototype of the new Damascus steel watch we're doing. Here's a couple shots to give you a feel for the cool "concave" bezel. We designed a somewhat thicker bezel on a Damascus steel watch so that you can really see the "grain" in this unique metal. The case is 45mm.
Also the killer new Lunar Wahine watches came in. These are now in stores and are getting a great reception. Who says women (or guys with smaller wrists) don't want a watch they can beat on? What, women don't want function? Pfft.
Here's the Rose-Ti version sitting on a coconut down South Shore Kauai. Even though it looks all pretty, the Ti-carbonitride PVD coating we use for this particular model is the same stuff they use to coat drill bits in the tool industry.
And hey, for anyone over on Oahu, I'll be coming over to Ben Bridge Timeworks next week to hang out, talk story, show off the new women's watches. I'll be there on Thursday Sept 4th from 6-7:30 at the Timeworks store in Ala Moana..if you're in Honolulu, please come on down and say hi. I'm going to have plenty of show and tell as well..the case for the Ti-Benthic, the case for the new Damascus (in Ti, not Damascus yet..), I should have samples of the new 22mm steel bracelets we'll be releasing soon, and who knows what else.
Oh yippee..I have to dress up.
In other news, we're getting this blog up and happening. I see volcano and nature photographer Brad Lewis has accepted our invitation to blog, and we'll be seeing new bloggers added over the next few months. I'm excited to see this all coming together!
