GMT Watch Design Under Development.

ETA 2893 movements are getting very hard to find, so this would be a very limited production watch. But the technical hurdles have been cleared, so this watch could be a reality early in 2014. The dial and hands are dive watch inspired while the addition of a GMT/24 hours hand and hour markers make this a great traveler's watch. Featuring easy to read hands and dial and lots of lume for easy night viewing. Stay tuned as this Ka La model develops...

Ka La Watch among Top 20 Unique Watches

Our Ka La watch was named as one of the "Top 20 Unique Watches" in the world by "Wear Your Lifestyle - Luxury Lifestyle Watch Magazine & Blog". Their post was back in May, but I just ran across it today. Watches on their list varied in price from $140 to $120,000, so it was quite a wide ranging list of watches with interesting designs. It was an honor to be in a list with Ulysee Nardin, Richard Mille, Christophe Claret, Bulgari, De Bethune, Chanel, ArtyA, Sarpaneva and others.

"Endless Summer" Limited Edition Watch Sets

http://individualdesign.com/ID/EndlessSummer.php

Between the balmy tropical weather and the relaxed island lifestyle, it feels like Summer never really ends in Hawai'i. In celebration of the 'Endless Summer' in our island home, we are pleased to offer two special packages designed to bring the aloha spirit to you year round.

Our Endless Summer packages are available in Silver & Blue and Black & Red editions. Each edition is limited to 10 sets only. Unlike our never ending tropical weather, these limited edition sets will be 'pau' (done/finished in Hawaiian) when these 20 sets are gone.

Each set consists of a Mark Carson designed Ka La watch by Individual Design, a total of 3 straps, a springbar tool (for changing straps), a bespoke handmade Hawaiian Koa Wood Rollerball Pen crafted by the Rainbow Pen Company to our specifications and finally a superb handmade Hawaiian Koa Wood Watch/Jewelry Box created by the master woodworkers at Dellera's Woorworks using our unique interior design. The koa wood pens feature color coordinated acylic accents which complement their respective companion Ka La watches.

These items (valued at over $1900) are offered together in these limited edtions sets for only $1250.

Beach photo shoot done

Yesterday we did the beach photo shoot near Chinaman's Hat (a scenic islet on the windward shore of Oahu). Now I just have to wait for the photos from Chaz of AfterSixMedia. Then I will get to work prepping them for the 'Endless Summer' special which will start September 1st.

Yeah, it was tough duty :-)

Sneak Peak - Endless Summer Special

Here are some quick shots of one of the Hawaiian Koa Wood jewelry/watch boxes that will be offered starting September 1st as our "Endless Summer" special. The bundle will include a Ka La Reference 10111 or 10122 watch, a total of three straps, a strap changing tool and a colored matched Hawaiian Koa Wood pen. The beach photo shoot of the watches is scheduled for tomorrow (Saturday, Aug 17th). More to come...

These magnificent koa boxes were created by Dellera's Woodworks.
The stunning koa pens are the creations of Rainbow Pen Company.
Both the pens and the boxes were created especially for Individual Design to our specifications. But check out these master craftsman's websites for other koa wood items.
