Links & Resources

We keep a deliberately short list of websites we genuinely recommend — the pages we send to clients and friends when we want to point at something well made. If a site isn't here, it hasn't earned the right to be here yet.

Stores & Client Sites

A Watch Boutique We Keep Coming Back To

We've pointed more clients at this one than at any other store: a Geneva-style boutique in richard mille super clone pieces, with spec sheets, macro dial photography and sizing notes that actually help you decide. The catalogue reads like a collector's index — calm, detailed, honest.

The UMI Line, Up Close

For anyone who wants to study dial craft on screen, the UMI replica range is the deep-dive we recommend. Dial textures, movement detail and case finishes photographed close enough to hold up at phone-screen size — the kind of product content that sells without shouting.

Pages We Study

When we brief a team on catalogue layout, one page keeps surfacing in our references: the RM 67-02 catalogue page for its spec-to-image rhythm. It's a good reminder that a product page can do the selling on its own — no pop-ups, no pressure, just the watch, the specs and the story.

Names We Keep in Mind

Not every reference is a link. Swiss typography grids, the picture books of Satoshi Kitamura, and a few Central Valley photographers keep ending up on our mood boards — usually long before they become a client project.

Spot Something Worth Adding?

This list moves slowly on purpose. If you've found a small site with genuinely good craft, say hello — we read everything that comes in.
