I had the pleasure of meeting @dcwatchguy at @redbarcrew global meet up and the @windupwatchfair in New York last year. Such a great guy. Thanks for the opportunity to paint your Royal Oak for your big birthday! We went for a little bit of a “Miami” theme with the background color palette. Let me know what you think! https://www.instagram.com/p/CrBR3gdr3zR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I had the absolute pleasure of painting another watch for @citizenwatchus. This go around was the fan favorite Promaster Dive Ecozilla. Such a fun piece with a ton of wrist presence and an Eco-Drive movement.

After trying on @jestacey’s aqualand at @windupwatchfair in Chicago last year, I knew one was going to end up on my wrist. It’s my first lume dial watch and boy does it just make you smile when you look down at it. @citizenwatchus really needs to get these available in the states! Now off to hunt down one of the two tone originals. #citizenwatchus #citizen #aqualand #citizenpromaster #citizenpromasteraqualand #citizenpromasterdiver #watchfam #thegreynato #hodinkee #divewatch #redbarcrew #wornandwound #windupwatchfair #lumedial #wristcheckwednesday #wristshot https://www.instagram.com/p/Cor_HxYL92s/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Honored to be featured in @watchesofespionage Holiday Gift Guide along with several friends and great products. They’ve been producing nonstop banger content this last year that is the perfect collision of several of my worlds. Give them a follow if you aren’t already.

What an amazing, and long, week in NYC for all the watch events. So many great people seen again, or met for the first time, and endless cool watches were handled. The best part though? Getting to hang with this guy and call him a friend. In the words of @jestacey “what a sweetheart” (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkJWYH_rifO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I had the privilege of painting the new @citizenwatchus Promaster Mechanical Diver “Fujitsubo” for their booth at @windupwatchfair put on by @wornandwound and then it will reside at Citizen’s headquarters in NYC. This watch was inspired by a barnacle covered 1977 Citizen Challenge Diver that was found on a beach in Australia in 1983…still ticking. Such a fun one to paint and thank you for the opportunity!

Very fitting on this #speedytuesday for my new watch reveal. 10 years ago my grandmother passed away and I was very fortunate to receive some inheritance. I wanted to have a keepsake to cherish and decided to buy my first “nice”(whatever that means) watch. I had always loved the Speedmaster, but I had a list of things I wanted in a watch; automatic movement, sapphire crystal, date…did I REALLY want a Speedmaster then Haha? Well, I settled on a Speedmaster reduced since that checked all my boxes. After a few years and accumulating some more watches that filled all those requirements, I started to second guess my original purchase of the reduced and wished I had gone with the more traditional Speedy. Fast forward to today, and I couldn’t be happier with this watch and will cherish it forever. Thanks, Grandmama. . . . . . . . . . . #omegaspeedmaster #itsnotamoonswatch #omega #omegaspeedmasterprofessional #moonwatch #hodinkee #wis #nwa #watchfam #3861speedmaster #nasa #redbarcrew (at The Moon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CidFU3WLoir/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

10 years ago today I made the absolute best decision of my life and asked @slhassel to go out with me. Spoiler alert…she said yes. I couldn’t ask for someone better to spend this life with. https://www.instagram.com/p/Chp8WclJyBm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

After throwing back a few pints and sipping on some Negronis while hopping between a few local watering holes one fall night in Jersey, @cole_pennington asked me to paint him a watch, my choice. Well, the choice was very easy. In some circles this reference might even be referred to as the “Cole Pennington”. This was a super fun one to paint and I experimented with some new elements, like the runs coming from the bezel and a completely lost edge at the 9 o’clock. Let me know what you think! . . . . . . . . . . #rolex #rolexgmt #rolexgmtmaster2 #rolexgmtpepsi #pepsi #pepsigmt #rolexpepsi #hodinkee #wis #redbarcrew #watchart #watchpainting #oilpainting #abstractexpressionism #artoftheday #watchoftheday (at HODINKEE HQ) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChSgh9hrmIQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A classic car themed watch painting for a car guy and the super cool @westsidecollectorcarstorage. I painted this @tagheuer Monaco for Matt Farah @thesmokingtire. The color palette for the background was inspired by the “city bus” interior of his Porsche Safari 911. Hope you enjoy! . . . . . . . . . . . #tagheuer #monaco #tagheuermonaco #stevemcqueen #mattfarah #westsidecollectorcarstorage #watchart #watchpainting #oilpainting #abstractexpressionism #heuer #watchcollecting #wis #redbarcrew (at Westside Collector Car Storage) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgUanr1rwjx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Thanks so much @ for the incredible watch roll! It’s truly appreciated, brother. Now I just need to get a German pilot’s watch to match it. . . . . . . . . . . . #watchroll #hodinkee #tudorpelagos #tudorpelagoslhd #omegaseamaster #omegaseamasterplanetocean #watchfam #redbarcrew https://www.instagram.com/p/CZH9OKtr6AX/?utm_medium=tumblr
