Happy 4th of July! Another wonderful shot by @wait

Happy 4th of July! Another wonderful shot by @waitlisted . This one nicely shows all the work we do on the case and the depth of the dial.

Explaining this dial is a challenge. Luckily a great picture is worth a thousand words. This black zirconium dial is made by engine turning individual layers of Infinity Weave, then precisely trimming the layers and fitting them back together ; a near perfect seemless alignment. It is something that I do not believe has been done before, and adds an optical illusion when meshed with engine turning. Also highlighted here is our super organic hour hand, strongly contrasting the square formalism of the engine turning. Enjoy! Photo credits to the amazing @waitlisted

The first production Resurgence delivered. Dark zirconium dial paired with rose gold. This watch features many upgrades over our first prototype. The most obvious is the new crown and 3 dimensional seconds hand. Thank you @waitlisted for the incredible picture. There are many more to share with you from him! Most importantly, thank you to our whole team who put in two years of work to produce this final product.

Recent white gold wedding ring we made. Sometimes

Recent white gold wedding ring we made. Sometimes people ask why we started making rings. There are a few answers but the major one is to create something simple and elegant. Making a watch from scratch is extemly complex with hundreds of parts and each of those parts with numerous steps. With a ring we just engine turn and its done :)
@brianlearnswatchmaking our awesome machinist is also an awesome photographer. Thanks for the great pictures.

I would like to proudly announce a very special Resurgence limited edition with @ericmwind. This is the first LE in the Resurgence series and we will make 10 with this very special, vintage inspired dial, designed by Eric and myself! These will be produced in sequence with our other Resurgence orders.

US Made Jewels and Hairspring wire. It took years

US Made Jewels and Hairspring wire. It took years to find suppliers in the US for this. I’d like to openly share those for anyone else that would like to be independent of the Swiss/Chinese. Fort Wayne Metals in Indiana drew us this wire. The spool is 28,000 feet and I hope soon we can spend the time to coil and heat treat. The Jewels came from Microlap in North Dakota. The company has an incredible history and we are their first customer for watch jewels in half a century. They were started by Bulova and the Defense department in the 1950s to make Jewels for US stockpile. @nmanousos wrote a great story on them for @hodinkee feel free to ask any questions in the comments.

I hated the original Resurgence dial…This dial, ho

The J.N. Shapiro Resurgence features a multi-layer

The J.N. Shapiro Resurgence features a multi-layered dial in customizable colors. It comprises separately engine-turned sectors that showcase multiple patterns, including barleycorn and our distinctive Infinity weave. Each layer is a different piece of metal, engine-turned separately, and painstakingly milled for perfect alignment. It is process and technique completely new in the horological world and requires our hand operating engine-turning machines to work in concert with our 21st century CNC machines.

The subdial is decorated with a miniaturized moiré pattern usually reserved for the complete dial. This required a custom rosette for our Rose engine machine and countless hours of experimentation.

Every numeral is individually machined and black polished.

Presenting “The Resurgence.” The first production

Presenting “The Resurgence.” The first production mechanical wristwatch since 1969 able to uphold America’s incredibly high standard for “Made in the USA.” The movement, case and dial are designed, fabricated, finished, and assembled entirely within our workshop(excluding jewels and springs). This was a dream that began nearly 12 years ago, and was made a reality through perserverance, incredible teamwork, a loyal clientelle, and generous mentors. Video from @atommoore
