About me
I am a retired watch enthusiast specializing in the restoration and conversion of historic American pocket watch movements. Since 2010, my work has focused on preserving originality while giving forgotten family heirlooms a second life as wearable wristwatches. Each project is approached with patience, respect for history, and a commitment to quality over quantity.
Why convert a family pocket watch?
Many families own pocket watches inherited from fathers or grandfathers — watches that once marked important moments of everyday life. Over time, these heirlooms often end up stored in drawers, no longer used, slowly forgotten.
A careful conversion allows the original mechanical movement to be worn again. Instead of remaining a silent object, the watch becomes part of daily life — a personal connection to family history that can be seen, felt, and experienced.
When done correctly, a conversion does not erase the past. It preserves the heart of the watch while adapting it to modern use. The result is not just a wristwatch, but a living heirloom — one that carries memories forward instead of leaving them behind.
