It was a late February evening, and I was building a watch kit that I had as a present for my 30th birthday. I became fascinated with the intricate assembly process and felt a sense of pride after first wearing my completed watch. I progressed to building a replica Panerai from parts I sourced online. I felt that same sense of pride upon completion, I was getting hooked. 

I had the idea of designing my own watch, no kit, no replica parts. After weeks of internet research, I discovered a spectacular Damascus steel case like nothing I had seen before, its artistic wavy-like design catching my eye. I knew it had to be part of my design.
