Exciting new watch design projects going into production soon...
Heinrich
HEINRICH watches is based in southwest Germany within the state of Baden-Württemberg.
Wolfgang and myself wanted to not only create the famously practical German made quality dive tool watch,
but also add that design chic and elegance that's matches the iconic Swiss made watches,
while also drawing inspiration from those beautiful 70's divers, which we are both fans of.
I think we have achieved this with this new watch collection, it is going to look fabulous!
This is the watch I've always wanted to create, Wolfgang gave me that opportunity.
This watch will become a must have watch in any watch collectors collection.
Heinrich Taucher 2 on Kickstarter soon!
Watch this now in prototype stage and being reviewed. Watch this space for more information..

Tauncher 2 Prototype - Model has very large wrist size so watch looks smaller than actual will be on regular sized wrist

Hadley Rille
Hadley Rille Limited is based in United Sate of America.
The watch collection will Swiss made.
This design concept was a chance for me to design a new watch that could become as iconic as the Rolex Submariner design.
This was another watch design I'd always wanted to make, and if the production watch comes out as I hope it could well become a future iconic watch design that every watch collector will want in their watch collection.
Watch design will be revealed late 2022 once collection is in production.

DOXA SUB 300 T-GRAPH
10 Year Anniversary Edition [2011]
The SUB 300 T-GRAPH Anniversary model’s design was based on one of my original design ideas I created in 2005
for a new SUB I wanted DOXA to make. The released edition in 2011 was altered slightly from my original designs,
with different bezel layout, slightly different sub dials and different second hand.

Evolution of the DOXA SUB
|
In late 2006 Greg was asked by DOXA to come up with a new design for what was then going to be the "Conquistador", DOXA's flag ship watch. The SUB 5000T was launched in 2007 and became DOXA's most successful SUB selling all 5000 limited edition in only a few years.
The Seaconqueror is probably the most sort after SUB on the second hand market today. They rarely come up for sale. |

Seatime PRODIVER
To make sure they got this watch just right they went to Greg Bottle, a renowned dive watch designer who is not only a watch enthusiast, but who is also a diver with many years of experience.
The challenge was not only to create a watch that performed under extreme conditions and fulfilled divers needs, but also to create a beautiful watch that could be worn everyday and would be treasured by it’s owner.
Stowa like to think they achieved this with their new seatime PRODIVER series.

AQUASTAR
CONCEPTUAL DESIGN IDEAS
The Aquastar Benthos is a watch I've always want to remake.
The concept of how it functions makes it a great dive tool.
These design ideas are my homage to a new concept design version, one of which I'd love to see built.
