I don't expect this will be a favorite of many on this forum, but I did want to share.

I've been mildly curious about a few independent watch projects over the last couple years, but when I saw this one I was immediately drawn to it. I love the design elements, and I'm a big fan of the Midas, which this draws inspiration from, and also really appreciate stone dials. Both the Midas and lapis Day-Dates are out of my price range for a while, and so when I saw this I gut-checked and asked myself, "am I just chasing something new being hyped up, or do I really enjoy this?"

Well, I answered my own gut-check in the affirmative. I love the creativity of this project, and everything it draws inspiration from. So I set a calendar reminder for when they were being released, then that morning I dropped the kiddo off at daycare, popped into a coffee shop and fired up the laptop just in time to smash "add to cart." I'm not much of an impulse-buyer and usually research something for months (or longer) but it felt good to pull the trigger on this.

Here's a few pics from the office today, just after opening...
