The Beach Wagon is a custom watch that is inspired by the soulful curves of the clients @fender 1962 Jaguar guitar, the nostalgic charm of a β€œwoody wagon” and the playful shapes of mid-century design. The Beach Wagon captures the laid-back energy of endless summer days.

This timepiece features a striking geometric design that instantly captures the viewer’s attention. The brass bar is positioned off-center on the copper case, which is individually crafted with an aged finish. The dial itself boasts a unique verdigris pattern.

Still trying to make an effort here but still forgetting. Past Alex cleaned my studio so it was a nice surprise when I came to work today.

This piece came about from a joke but by the time it was finished it told its own story. I was lucky enough to have this featured in the @kinseyinstitute.bsky.social that same year. #metalart #metalsmith #metalsculpture #mantlepiece #brassballs #kinsey

Working in my β€œScribble Design Book” this morning. It’s where I doodle in pen, ask questions, and work things out. Pen scribbles help me see things that aren’t there, like staring at clouds.
