There I was, quite happily building this piece.  My talented wife had hand painted a beautiful dial.  I knew this needed a plain and understated case and strap to allow the dial to be the star.

I finished, I was proud.  Enter eldest child just on his way home from work.  What followed was a short discussion about how nice the piece looked and how much he liked it.  Before I knew it h'e was wearing it and there was no getting it off him.  He left and took it with him and that was the best thing that could have happened.  This really is what it's all about.  People falling in love with their watch and that's exactly what happened here. 

He loves it, I'm happy.
