California Watch Co

So I remember reading about this small startup on Kickstarter last year. Looks like they are off to a great start. I like their watch designs and models with several styles and colors to choose from. I decided to buy one and I'm eyeing a couple of more. Great size for me at 46mm. Not huge and not dainty either. And of course, very moderately priced just like I prefer for watches.

Oh well, just thought I'd share for those interested.

I grabbed the 'Maverick'. Also has some decent lume.

Not my cup of tea. And it's way too big in my opinion.

thats a no for me. 36 to 40 mm is a good size for a watch. 42 mm if you are the size of a basketball player.

Liking the color.
Would be interesting to see lume in the dark pic.

Not really my taste. Too big and gaudy.

Thanks Basis and Happyjack.

They definitely have some intriguing pieces IMO. And like I said, I'll probably grab a couple of more.

If you like brands like this, check out Shinola watches which are made in Detroit. While a bit more expensive - and conservative (or retro) in styling, you may see something you like.
