The Dial: Vitreous enamel is the star of the show—a delicate dance with fire, where powdered glass is fused to metal at extreme temperatures. The dial is the canvas and the soul of every Homemade watch—designed, laser-cut, and finished in-house—requiring four to six hours of meticulous craftsmanship each.
The Build: I curate every component and, when applicable, collaborate with manufacturers on design and finishes. Each piece is hand-built and regulated to ±10 seconds per day in my Rhode Island studio.
The Promise: From conception to completion, I maintain full control to ensure every timepiece is an expression I am proud to share and confidently back.

Parts and preassembled movements are sourced from reputable, trusted vendors based in the U.S., Asia, and Switzerland.

I'm a self-taught artist and watch builder. Although I am in the multi-year process of becoming a certified watchmaker, I am not yet certified, nor am I affiliated with a professional service center. I aim to create, connect, and share my passion—not to compete with any brand or mindset. Each watch is hand-built/assembled, featuring artisanal elements and may contain slight imperfections, or, as I see it, Homemade Flavor. Please conduct your due diligence before purchasing to ensure that my work meets your needs. Don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions.
