Hi, From Sunny California.

I guess I should have posted here a while ago. But better late then never. So here goes.

Hi I’m Jon. I live in a small town in Northern California that is just over the border from Reno Nevada. I’m married to my sweet heart and we’ve got 6 young kids.

I’ve been heavily into watches for few years now. I initially got into watches in anticipation of a drafting project I knew was coming up. I thought, a few years ago, that I could do a watch movement as my design project. That was before I found out how complicated they were. Well, I was hooked anyway. I’ve bought lots of basket cases over the years and lots of junk. Along the way I also managed to pick up a couple of nice things.

I heard about this forum from an old podcast called Unwound. Shortly after that I joined. I wasn’t really active until I watched a bunch of the My Retro Watches videos on youtube.

Lastly, I’m also into 3D printing and CAD design. I’ve actually designed several of my own watch tools, and I’ve posted those in the tool section.

Anyway that’s me for now.

Thanks.

Welcome Jon! With 6 children in tow I’m just surprised that you get time to look at any watches!

As It works out, watches is are of the few things I can do. They’re small, you can carry them anywhere, and you can spend as little and as much time on them as you can spare.

Welcome! Even though I was probably here after you!

Eh, who’s counting. I haven’t been very active until the last few weeks. So it’s about the same.

And welcome to you too!

Thanks for the welcome. And God has blessed me. Six times at the very least. 😉
