My main hobby for the last 10 years or so has been watchmaking. I was a full-time professional for a few years, although I never intended for that to be the case. It just sort of took on a life of its own, but I’ve since reverted mostly back to just hobby building for a number of reasons.

Here are a few I either built from the ground up, restored, or heavily modified for myself or customers.

and this last one has been an ongoing personal project that’s the most special to me. It’s a mid-60’s Rolex Submariner which is the watch worn (and shown onscreen) by Connery as James Bond in Goldfinger. Even sourced this period cloth strap to match his from the film, which was not easy. These are incredibly rare and parts are mindblowingly expensive when you can find them. Still, I’ve managed to get it back into this current running state over the course of about 5 years. I’m debating on whether or not to call this finished since I do like that it still has some aged patina.

Bond’s:

I am a bassist, which takes up a lot of my time. I also listen to and write music. My favorite genres are Progressive rock, jazz and baroque. I also do a little film-writing and directing, but it’s only once in a while.

I wish I liked wearing watches…some of them look so cool.

Besides yoyoing, I enjoy Xbox-playing, bike riding, lake-swimming, smoke-toking, video-making, film-critiquing, joke-cracking, snowball-throwing, woodcutting, clip editing, and photo meddling.
