A tremendous example of following one's heart

Don's progress as a watchmaker is evident, a journey that a few begin and very few succeed at.

It is a tough process, taking passion, dedication and an unfailing willingness to do what it takes. In the few short years since Don has started on this path, what an amazing realization of his dream.
Those of you who admire and feel compelled when seeing a timepiece by a living watchmaker, will possibly find Don to be almost unique in his watchmaking way. Not trained at a traditional watchmaking school, allows for a certain "free thought" un-encumbered by the fixed ideas of the "watch industry". This allows for some interesting possibilities, and I think that Don will create what he wants, finding ways to execute his passion the further he goes down his chosen path.
Another triumph for the Independent Watchmakers, which is why I'm so strongly motivated by this tiny niche of the watch world.

Thanks Z3 for the excellent pictorial essay of Don's work, and congratulations to Don for taking his journey, and allowing us to share in the progress.

Warm regards,

Tim
