Respektiv Inked Collection
Inked watches are computer designed without many limits. Any design, any color of your choosing. If you want something in full color, and decay isn't your thing but you still want a handmade vibe, Inked is what you want. The design is printed and then laminated to a dial blank. This composite is then lacquered and sealed for years of protection. Using archival non-yellowing materials, these dials are made to last. The process results in an imperfect, rugged look with bright colors and a vintage feel. Inked watches are built around the Unitas 6498/7 movement from Unitas, ETA or Seagull. Choose either a reconditioned vintage movement or get a brand new one - the choice is yours.
Here is how it works. If you see something you like, you can always buy a unique stock watch. A few clicks and its on the way. If you want something different, start by clicking the "Contact Respektiv" tab to your left. We can change out a component on an existing watch or build from scratch. Leave your contact information and we will set a time for a short telephone call. If you can give me a little idea of what kind of project you want, leave that in the message. On that call, we will settle in on what we want to build and the budget. Case, dial, strap hands and movement can all be your choice. I'll send you a few renderings. Once approved, I'll get to building. Often times, I will have to source new parts. These parts are common in Europe and Asia but in the US, there just not the selection of components so there could be a ≈30 day lead time. I'll search world wide to get what we want. Once we settle on the design, I can get you a more accurate delivery estimate. If you are ever in Memphis, let's sit down, look at some pieces and build something amazing.
