- 3. We love working with artists to produce our watches. Our watches were designed with the artwork they would showcase in mind. Our minimalist rectangular case frames the dial, higher hands allow for varying use of texture, and soft muted straps highlight the often vibrant and always detailed dials. Our goal is to establish a meaningful medium that links artist and buyer. The following pages contain our current line-up of products, prices, and artists we are currently collaborating with. Each artist we work with has had to spend countless hours refining, and adapting their style to meet the strict specifications needed for the finely crafted timepiece. We currently offer 2 variations of products: Print and Commissioned watches. Print: Each print watch is limited in number and based from an original, hand-painted work. The original work is photographed and printed using only the highest quality of matte, archival paper to ensure the work doesnt fade or discolor. Commission: Each of our artists are available to create a completely custom design based on your request. After choosing an artist, several drafts / renditions are reviewed before the final result. The process is a partnership between the artist and the commisioner through the entire lifespan of the creation.
- 4. Tiana BirrellStyle # : FW15-001 Style # : FW15-002 Style # : FW15-003 America is a melting pot of race, culture, ideas and styles. I am personally immersed in this heterogeneity. When relating my ancestry to others, I often explain that I am 1/32 Iroquois and that one of my forebearers was a tribal chief. And yet, what I rarely share is that my knowledge of this distant heritage ends there. My artwork is a manifestation of recent attempts to understand this past and explore my inclination towards Native American culture. I use transparent layers and pixelated images of native rugs to create remixes of already existing imagery. By re-appropriating these patterns, I explore the difficulty of finding a cultures purity in todays global generation. About the Artist:
- 5. Ellie NewellStyle # : FW15-003 Style # : FW15-004 Ellie Hansen Newell creates abstracted imagery that is fundamen- tally tied to her exploration of her ancestry. Having been raised in Japan, Ellie began to foster an interest in art as drawing was a common part of Japanese youth culture. As Ellie moved through college she began to discover the relevance of ancestral ties evident in her creative process. As part of that process Ellie recycles found materials, a tradition she discovered was common to her Samurai great grandfather. Her process also bases itself in responding and expanding upon previous mark making by bringing back materi- al that she sees potential and value in. This links to her interest in her heritage by its recognition of the impact of the past on the present and future. Currently Newell resides in Provo, Utah with her husband Nick, where she is double majoring in Art Education along with a BFA in Studio Arts at Brigham Young University. About the Artist:
- 7. Stephanie C. KellyStyle # : FW15-003 Style # : FW15-004 I consider myself a painter and I paint with thread. The process of transforming string into art struck me as something visually stimulating with complex simplicity. Engaging both tradition- al and innovative techniques in employing formal qualities with density, texture and pattern. The embroidery floss is my palette and the needle is my paintbrush. I like to think I can reclaim the word craft which contains the idea of an unusual frame of knowledge and skill passed on from generation to generation. About the Artist:
- 8. Skye DowellStyle # : FW15-005 Style # : FW15-006 Skyes versatile style is shown through her hand-painted, hand- stitched dials. Recently graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Houston, Skye works predominately in the medium of painting, but occasionally uses fiber for added texture and interest. She uses handmade mulberry paper, thread, and watercolor paints for her dials. About the Artist:
- 9. Larkin McIntyreStyle # : FW15-007 Style # : FW15-008 I am inspired by the abstract expressionist greats of the 40s and 50s and choose to use my hands to apply paint instead of a brush. Working on a horizontal surface from all sides, I feel closer to my art and more easily able to mix vivid color combinations along with creating contrasting movement. Uninterested in painting known objects, I prefer to create abstract images that arouse emotions unique to the individual viewer. About the Artist:
- 11. Ruatoto HenryStyle # : FW15-009 Style # : FW15-010 Born and raised on the small island of Rarotonga, I was intrigued at how traditional art reflected the life of the island. I trained myself in sketch artistry and let my sketches take on the form and symmetry of the traditional art I had grown to love. What started as a self-taught hobby, pulling from what I had known, has become a full-time passion. My art is a new creation, blending my Rarotongan heritage with the traditional designs of the Maori or Moko. About the Artist:

He currently works out of CAPTAIN CAPTAIN Studios in beautiful downtown Salt Lake City. About the Artist:
- 13. Leslie DukeStyle # : FW15-013 As an artist I am continually fascinated with color, particularly with its ability to prompt an emotional response from its audience. My work explores colors emotive capacity, focussing more on the overall atmosphere created by the color palette of each piece, rather than the actual subject matter depicted. This approach is meant to create a unique visual experience, one that facilitates an inner dialogue by quietly probing the subconscious. About the Artist:
- 15. Helen AhpornsiriStyle # : FW15-009 Style # : FW15-010 Helen Ahpornsiri creates herbarium collages using fern grown in her garden, as well as foraged from all around the UK. Using traditional pressing methods, it is the idea of preserving life by the means of making something new, that inspires the work. About the Artist:
- 16. ClaudymStyle # : FW15-013 Based in Milan, Italy, Claudym got her artistic beginnings at the prestigious Liceo Artistico di Brera. Focusing mainly in miniatures and detailed sketching, she invokes emotion by recreating pop culture icons. I love the possibilities that can be created in miniature work - the invitation to pause and examine a different universe than our own; About the Artist:
- 17. ThonisStyle # : FW15-014 Im an absolute watch and art lover. For me both are objects to get lost in the details and story. My work is often modern and abstract. I like to use vibrant colors that convey emotion and catch your attention. Like watchmakers, I spend the greatest attention to details, and to the quality of materials used in my work. All of my work is made in the lovely city of Amsterdam. About the Artist:
- 18. Katie ToothStyle # : FW15-015 Based in Australia, Katie Tooth creates bold-colored, abstract work, with geometric raised texture. About the Artist:
- 19. Erin BerrettStyle # : FW15-016 The paradox of the term still life inspires me. Theres a fundamental tension between the still and the life, isnt there? Thats what I try to capture when I paint. To me, objects are never completely motionless, or emotionless for that matter. They tremble. They vibrate. And those vibrations are produced not only by the construction of the object, but the external forces exerted on it --- the angle of the light, for instance, and the perspective of the viewer. Whats a good painting to me? Its hard to know, but Ill tell you this: when the object comes alive, and the environment, the viewer and I all participate to make that happen - thats success to me. For each piece, Erin uses acrylic gesso (3 layers, sanded fine), oil paint, liquin medium, Gamsol and Soluvar. About the Artist:
