Ouch!

This is a pretty rare for a tough G-Shock, but I did manage to totally ruin the crystal of my DW-5600E while goofing around outside. It probably saved my wrist from getting broken :)

This is the working drawing that I was asked to create and provide to the brand owner and manufacturer so that they could take my design and translate into mechanical drawings and eventually a prototype. Can wait to see how it works out.

Boiling a Casio G-Shock Mudman

Well I have some spare time and a digital camera handy so I’m going to see if this crazy idea works. Note: If you do not have the correct tools for doing this I suggest you stop right here . The screws on the Mudman are very small (little buggers) and without the correct screwdrivers you stand the chance of badly stripping the heads.

Once the straps have been removed it makes it a little easier to handle the main body of the watch. The next step is to remove the four scre...

Worn & Wound Review

I thought I'd share the excellent review posted by Worn & Wound of my Prometheus Ocean Diver watch design. It is a very thorough review with some incredible photos. Full review here . Snippet from Worn & Wound Review "Turns out, not everything we lionize from our past holds up so well today. A few things, however, transcend their era and are worth returning to because their qualities aren't reliant upon the culture that bore them. I'd place the Ocean Diver in this category, while fully acknowledging the irony that its creation is intrinsically linked to watch collection culture of the late aughts. There is an indefinable quality about the Ocean Diver that sets it apart from its contemporaries, such as the Ocean 7 LM-2, early Christopher Ward divers, and Seiko's SKX watches. The internal bezel, the design of the hour markers, including the oversized numerals at 6, 9 and 12 o'clock, the porthole shaped case design and its bead blasted texture all add up t...
