Imagine my delight when I was introduced to Celeste Wong of Celeste Watch Company and we had a common dream. After several years of research and development, we have together come up with these elegant offerings. I am very excited about this, I hope you are too.

This piece was a prototype while I was figuring out the special considerations for a watchdial. The number markers are not there but everyone knows where high noon is on a watchface right? Special pricing for prototype pieces.
