Rose gold, full set, sundust dial with Roman numerals: the loudest watch I own, and I like it that way. It never sees a business meeting. It comes out for Las Vegas, Wimbledon, and Miami, and nowhere else. When the occasion is meant to be too much, this is the watch for it.
Nothing here is listed for sale. If a piece speaks to you, it is a conversation.
How it found me
I was living in the Park Cities in Texas, building a hotel business, traveling six days a week and averaging eighteen-hour days. I didn't have time to see my family, time to spend money, or time to take care of myself. Near the end of that run I was in New York for meetings and stopped by Gaby's office, one of my favorite dealers in the infamous diamond district on W. 47th, up on an elevated floor behind several vault doors. I wanted something that made up for lost time, fit the flash-the-cash Uptown Dallas lifestyle, and marked one of the hardest years of my career.
