An update to the A5 Reserve MoP Mosaic Sunburst prototypes was made. A little pop of color for the seconds hand in each of the new dials. A little bit of blue and a little bit of gold!

Today, I’m talking ghost dates on watches, not to be confused with getting ghosted on a date. My no date watches feature the NH38 or Miyota 9039, so no ghosts here!

The A5 Reserve MoP Mosaic Sunburst comes in blue, too! It seemed to be a favorite among watch fair attendees over the summer. These watches are powered by the NH38 and come in a 36mm case. For details, exclusive pricing, and early access, check out the link in bio.

The A5 Reserve MoP Mosaic Sunburst is coming soon! Powered by the reliable NH38 and featuring a stunning new dial, the upcoming Reserve is an eye catcher! Hand assembled in Chicago as always. Link in bio for details, early access, and exclusive pricing

This weekend, I’ll be in NYC for all of the watch festivities. I won’t have a sponsored table or anything because I am low on inventory and didn’t think I’d have anything new and exciting to show off. I’m still coming to hang and will be bringing some old favorites and some upcoming models, so be sure to say hi!

The A3 Omen II was a big reason why I ran out of parts this year. Powered by the Miyota 9039, it uses two materials: Aventurine and Mother of Pearl, the Stars and the Galaxy.

The A3 Meteorite was no slouch either, selling out of pre-orders over the summer. This is my take on something a little different with Meteorite. This uses different acid etching techniques in each of the two sectors. Hoping to have these delivered end of month.

The A5 Reserve Mosaic MoP Sunburst is what’s coming next. People have been excited about this one since I debuted the prototypes at Windup Watch Fair Chicago. It drops at the end of the month. See the link in my bio for more.

And this is the blue version, the colorway that seemed to draw eyes to the table over the summer. Coming soon!

10/13/2026

The MoP Mosaic Sunburst version of the A5 Reserve drops later this month! It’s a nice little 36mm watch with 43mm lug to lug. It uses stainless steel, a sapphire crystal, and is powered by a reliable NH38. All hand assembled here in Chicago as usual.

Before diving head first into starting a microbrand, you’ve gotta make sure you answer one very important question. “Why would someone buy my microbrand watch?“

10/08/2026

While the A5 Reserve Snowflake is now available, the MoP Mosaic Sunburst version is coming soon! I just got a shipment notification for the dials, so expect a release date soon! For early access and exclusive pricing, check out the link in my bio
