Schools

Schools need to raise money. I'm designing our program to help raise millions more each year. The fast program will just change the face of an existing watch, while the football example (see below) will take two years to develop. Let's start with a quick win and get some money coming in and some very happy donors, then we can go from there. Contact me to kick some ideas around.

This watch starts from Franck Muller's Vanguard in steel. We pave the dial edge to edge with diamonds and set the Stanford S in rubies.

We will work with you to create whatever case and strap/bracelet combinations you think your donors would like most.

This watch starts from the Rolex Submariner without a date. We pave the dial with white diamonds and set the Stanford S in rubies, and emeralds fill the Submariner's hour markers. The case, bezel, bracelet, and movement stay as Rolex makes them. Again, this is just a concept, not an actual watch.

This watch starts from Louis Moinet's Tempograph Spirit in titanium, whose seconds hand sweeps across 20 seconds and jumps back. We add the Technion logo in white on the black plate at one o'clock. The movement stays as Louis Moinet builds it.

Rutgers football watch

Rutgers football

Dial
A football field in green, with goalposts and a scoreboard
Game
A button beside the crown kicks a field goal, and a disc under the goalposts stops on good or no good
Scoreboard
Counters keep each side's points, with the Rutgers R in rubies and diamonds over the home score
Strap
Scarlet

No watch kicks a field goal today, so this watch needs a new movement. We would design and build a proprietary movement once and fit it to every school in the series, and each school gets its own field, colors, and monogram on the dial. The first school waits for the movement, and every school after it waits only for its dial. We can only do this if we can meet a minimum order, which depends on price. This project would take roughly two years to production. Customers can customize the face as desired.
