Damn, talk about a genuine WIS...Beats the shit out of the WeWood crap that ShopNBC's shilling these days. And I'm pretty sure that these watches cost quite a bit more, as well. Cool piece; thanks for posting, AJ... What a Face

Excellent woodworking! The accuracy is terrible, but the concept and backstory are so cool, I can overlook that.

Thanks for sharing.

Wow. What patience and craftsmanship to make those watches. Would love to see the precision knives and tools he has to use for those. Pretty cool.
