Via William Gibson's blog - these watches are gorgeous. From the interview in Chief Mag:
"(Question) So did your watches start out as unique as they are now, or have you built up to this level of weird?
(Response) In the beginning, they were pretty simple, a strange drawing maybe, but that's about it. But at the flea market, a one-armed man came up to me. And he said to me, well, with only my left arm, I can't put on a watch. Wow, I thought, he's right...I wonder if I could make a watch like that? So I made - and you can see one upstairs in the showcase - I made a watch that you put your wrist in it and it shuts around your wrist.
And then from there I kept having more ideas, more 'gimmick' ideas, and it was very interesting to me, so I kept doing it...like for example, I thought it would be good if you could use a watch on your thumb, here instead of here, on an angle close to the base of your thumb instead of flat on your wrist, so if your sleeve comes down, you can still see the time, or riding a bike, it would be easy to see. Even if you have your arm way out above you for some reason, you can still see the time.
So at first, these sort of off-the-wall ideas were based on functionality? A watch for a one-armed man, a watch you can see easily while riding a bike"
