Yes! The top layer oxidizes to create a beautiful Patina which if you ever want to start the patina process over you can scrub it off w/ a toothbrush, baking soda, and lemon juice.

What is CuSn8 Bronze?
Our personal favorite bronze alloy comprised of Copper w/ 8% Tin. The color is more of a Rose-Gold color compared to other bronzes that are a more Yellow-Gold color. Patina over time is much more visually pleasing as shown in the Bronze M1 product page.

 

ABOUT ME

Philly bred, LA startup sharpened, Virginia (Virginia) HQ, German wife, with stints in London, Xenia, Austin, San Antonio, Kittredge, Tallahassee.

Inspiration

German Bauhaus and British Brutalist architecture styles. 

"German Love"

My wife is German, German Bauhaus is a major inspiration, and my manufacture is TÜV Rheinland German Certified as they work with major German Luxury brands.

Why I Got Started

I got started in watch repair - specifically restoring vintage watch movements - because it was fun. I had a 30% success rate in bringing dead movements back to life.

I got the bug to go to watchmaking school - but I kept my day job and used money I got from helping people build their brands - to build my own.

Other Brands I Admire

UniDesign’s case shape, E. Stohlman's mashup of old time design & new time fun colors, Richard Harvey’s mastery of AutoCad dimensional design, Lesablier’s adventure dial w/ white strap look, Haim’s use of Grade 2 Titanium on their Legacy Automatic coin bezel, Zenea’s play with limited edition bezels, Virage’s red/black combo, Dufrane’s Austin City Limit’s dial.

Goals

1 - Have fun. (When it's not - stop and come back when it is.)

2 - Be an active community member.
