thanks for your business! Get an awesome watch, pay with sats, no need to deal with a customer “service” department. #watchstr

Just finished this today. Had a watch that didnt get much wrist time and needed a battery, took it apart, sanded, repainted and engraved the dial, reassembled it with a new battery, voila. #watchstr #artstr

Today: Finished this Left-Side Crown watch with an aluminum dial I got cut to order from Devine Machine Co! Added the finish to the dial and engraved it, removed the date wheel, then added painted hour and minute hands. No seconds. Paired with a 22mm BluShark leather strap.

#Watchstr

Another edit to the dial of my Boldr with the NH35, now it’s a right-hand watch. #watchstr

Watch nerd alert!! Took apart one of my watches with a NH35 movement in it. Took off the dial, sanded it, put a finish on it, but I engraved markers on it using the dial feet , which sit at approx 2:30 as the 12 o’clock. Reassembled the watch, now Ive got a watch that I can read at an angle, because I need both hands on the wheel to operate the paddle shifters on my Lambo. #watchstr #plebchain

Took apart another watch and customized the dial, now its all mine. #proofofwork #watchstr

Took apart one of my Eco Drives to see how it worked today - it turns out the dial is actually a translucent plastic that sits over the solar cell. Always so neat to find out how things work. #watchstr

Good Morning everyone!

Today I’ll be working on a new watch for a friend, who ordered two additional watches after I delivered the first one I did for him!

Yesterday, I used the template I made to do a digital mockup of what the design would look like.

I made this illustration of a lizard with the Aztec calendar on its frills for him 2 years ago.

200k sats and I can make one for you with YOUR idea on the dial!

This is a good friend’s watch, handed down to her by her father.

It had stopped working, even with a battery change.

It needed a new movement.

My friend Steve, who owns his own watch building/servicing company, was able to order a new movement, got the watch working, and even buffed the case so it looked good as new.

He is the only employee of his company, and can service modern and vintage watches of any kind.

He also builds custom Seiko mods from the ground up, if you’re interested in an automatic watch. He has several examples on his website.

I’m not a dev, but this is my version of building something unexpected and cool.

Started with a Casio Duro.

Removed the dial so all branding is gone.

Added a 33mm blank dial from another skeletonized watch since it had a large center opening (originally to see an automatic movement) that would work to expose the entire date wheel and tiny holes that line up with 1,2,4,5,7,8,10,11.

The current date is whatever is at 3 o’clock.

Replaced the hands.

Replaced the chapter ring. I like having it ever-so-slightly off center.

Put the caseback back on.

Voila. Now i have the quartz equivalent of a skeletonized watch. No branding, no apps, no connectivity, no wifi, just the time and date.

Screwdown crown, 200m water resistant, unidirectional 120-click bezel, stainless steel case, 22mm lugs.

As soon as i find someone to cut some metal dials for me I’m gonna make more random watches like this. They’ll be 150k sats. DM me if you work with metal. #watchstr #artstr #grownostr #plebchain

Dial engraved by hand, just to see what I could do with a carbide bit manually. Looks good in the light. Still on the lookout for someone to cut some blank 33mm dials for me, and I’m 100% certain there’s some folks on Nostr with the equipment to do it, just a matter of time! #watchstr #plebchain

I know someone here knows someone who can help.

The engraver I was using sold his business and I wanted to reach out to the Nostr community to see if I can get this done and pay with sats.

I’m looking to have a couple blank circles cut out to be used for watch dials that I can engrave by hand.

The material has to be extremely thin, .5mm or less, and I have used .2mm thick aluminum previously. The aluminum usually comes in small sheets and is anodized or treated somehow with different colors.

The details: 33mm outside diameter circle 2.2mm diameter hole in center for the watch hands. That’s it, couldn’t be easier.

I can provide the vector and pdf file. Here’s a jpg of it. Web of Trust, it’s time to shine!

#proofofwork for another variation on the #nostrwatch
This one is a #minimalist variant.

Hand finished the dial, included the second hand as well as the date wheel. Removed the hour markers on the dial.

Leather strap shown is mine. I will help pair your bespoke watch with a great strap of your choosing as part of the individual service with this option.

This blank slate could make a great background for a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork, a logo, et cetera.

I can make a vector version of just about anything you can think of, work with you to develop your idea to perfection, and have it laser engraved onto a dial like this. This one was finished at 914852.

Sats only.

WATCH ANNOUNCEMENT! Since I began my journey in Nostr, I have met an amazing group of people, a number of them in person. I have been planning for this moment for a long time.

Small businesses and entrepreneurs are not only encouraged by the Nostr community, but I know more than a few that thrive in the Bitcoin-backed economy that has developed organically here.

They bring not only their enthusiasm but genuine and verifiable knowledge of their craft. The appreciation that is rewarded them comes not just from likes and follows, but by actual support of their businesses with Bitcoin.

I am thankful to the wonderful folks who have encouraged me as I’ve posted to #artstr and have supported me by paying with sats. This financial support has allowed me to bring this project to life.

Now, I am excited to present to you the Nostr watch.

With simplicity and functionality in mind, I began with the timeless classic Casio dive watch model I wanted since I was a kid.

This was THE watch to have in the 1990s, when my friends and I rode our bikes to the arcade to play Mortal Kombat with our friends. When James Bond still wore a Rolex.

This was a time before cell phones, before social media, before AI-generated music. Your watch told you the time, not how many calories you burned on your way to the neighborhood cookout.

This watch has no alarms, no digital display, and no excess complications which could distract you from living your real life. There is no heart rate monitor on this watch, no WiFi or Bluetooth connectivity, no software to update, no reminder to stand up if you’re sitting down.

Want the time? Look at this watch.
Want more? Go look at a phone.

I designed the dial, which features Bitcoin logos at every hour, the Nostr ostrich at twelve o’clock, the word NOSTR at three o’clock, and NOTES and OTHER STUFF TRANSMITTED BY RELAYS at six o’clock.

A friend of mine engraves the dials for me, and I assemble the watch myself. It has a 44mm stainless steel case, is water resistant to 200 meters, has a screw-down locking crown, a 120-click unidirectional rotating bezel, and a screwdown caseback.

Lug width is 22mm, which can accommodate a variety of straps. The watch comes with a standard 22mm silicone strap, which can be easily changed.

I lightly sand the caseback and engrave the block height when it was completed. Then I package it up with a handwritten note signed by me and send it to you.

The battery will last a couple years, after which it’s easy to get changed. There are no proprietary parts. You can change the battery yourself with one tool if you want.

The watch is 200k sats plus shipping. I also offer a bespoke watch dial design service where I create custom dial artwork to your specifications and have the artwork engraved. In this case, your watch artwork will be used only for your watch.

This one-on-one design collaboration between myself and the customer is available for an additional 200k sats.

Thank you, Nostr, for helping me to realize this dream that I have had since I began my interest in watches.

Picked up a LeSablier Aviateur VQ at Watches & Whiskey this past weekend. The AVQ is a simple two-hand time-only quartz watch with a 24-hour dial and sapphire crystal. The minute hand makes a complete rotation around the dial every 60 minutes; the hour hand runs at 1/2 speed and thus tells the time in a 24-hour format. Super affordable as well! They have several other automatic models that are really worth serious attention - price-wise, they’re fantastic, great movements as well. The finishing on their watches is AWESOME.
