The Limited Edition DIY Watch Kit by TOKYObay is the last thing i need for being stylish.
It’s an awesome idea to build my myself. I would be very thaakfull for it.

Want to get that kit as i can design and build my Own unique watch and it will be an one off product.

Omg, I need this Kit! I have so many watches at home that my grandpa gave me. I want it repaired but it's too expensive to get it done by the shops. Now that they sell kits like this you can costomize of how you want it to look like and how you want it to fit you. I'd like to see one of my watches in my wrist again! *sighh*

The Limited Edition DIY Watch Kit by TOKYObay is the last thing i need for being stylish.
It’s an awesome idea to build my myself. I would be very thaakfull for it.

I need this because I'm late

I would like to win so that I could fix up one of my fathers watches that has stopped ticking. It would be a great surprise present for him if I could fix it and also spruce it up with some new straps.

I would like to win so everytime someone asked me for the time i could show off my custom custom watch and tell them about yanko design and how i won….

I would love this kit so as I can have an excuse while crossing the switzerland border at 200 km/h saying to the customs officer “It's an emergency ! A watch needs surgery !

I just started working on a new job and I need to spoil myself with an awsome TOKYObay gift! Also, I need to add some funky to my business style!

I'd love to win this as I trizes and I trizes but I never win no prizes

Awesome kit!

Industrial designer here, with a real love of watches – I own many, but I've never dared work on one. Winning a kit like this would be simply incredible, and would lead to even more sleep deprivation, in a good way!

Also I promise to post pics of the final product

I can't give you any real reason why I should get this watch. I could be greedy and make up some story about a relative's watch or some way that it'll better my life. I could but I'm not. Just thought I would post to say that observing this level of greed is interesting but not necessarily disturbing. We are humans, we are selfish and we are raised in a society that reinforces that. If you give me the watches, I'll just give them away. Most people now don't even wear watches, they look at their phone. Honestly I'm surprised that so many people are interested, probably just want to say that they “won” something. Best of luck people, go back to your families and see what really matters.

Ok….Here goes. I am currently designing a scrapbooking tool case which as you may have guessed is mainly geared towards the feminine persuasion. As such the cute factor plays a big part in the design. The DIY Watch Kit by TOKYObay has man and mechanics written all over it with an injection of style all its own. It will definately do its job in bringing me back down out of the clouds for sure. I love it. Funky, mechanical, work on me beat nick style definately is a plus.

Good timing! I'm currently thinking of building a steampunk-themed project.

I should win this kit because I love beautiful things. There is nothing more beautiful than restored old watch on a wrist of young woman, who restored it herself

I don't have any watch at the moment, because I cannot find the well designed one – until now

Yanko is the place to see,
the best designs around.
To win the watches for free
your entry must be sound!
So for this competition,
I am on an earnest mission.
The customisation is sublime
in this DIY watch kit
It will make sure your on time,
I love every bit!

I’ve been searching for a watch for a while now and am simply disenchanted with the current trends and styles that out there now. A DIY kit would be just what I need. I would also take great pride in knowing that what I’m wearing is something that is unique to me and I built myself. I would love to have this.

I want to make my own, personal, one off piece! I'm a keep design watch collector and this could add to y collection!

Because I'll tell you time with a little smile , everytime you'll need it…

would love to have this one. nice set, nice watches.

Because I want to make time mine.

I'd like to win this because it will give me the tools to treasure my watch for ever. I have a Braun AW-20 that needs a lot of TLC. This kit is amazing!

I need it, to reborn my broken swiss army watch

I wish it to be mine, because it is timeless.

This would be amazing to win.
1: if I didn't even know there was a watch in there, I am in need of some tiny tech and jewelry tools to be really honest.
2: if I did know there was a watch in there, I would be exasperated with elation. my old watch (remember fossil?) has gone to the junk yard due to the company's inability to repair for me (so hello sell-repair kit!) and I have been in the market for a new one for general use
3: I am a college student and really use my cell phone as a watch but it is becoming increasingly evident as I go on professional site visits etc that I shouldn't be checking my pockets every time I need to know time. I've been looking for watches everywhere and this one is particularly perfect because it could go from brown business suit to black tie to class and then to underneath my pillow as I sleep!
4: …can I enter more than once? I'll send you a candy gram or quiche!

Well, since honesty is the best policy. I would like this item because I simply want it. It would be cool to have the tools to customize your watch!

I am way due for an upgrade!

good god, my 12 year old son would kill for this!

Isn't it every mans dream, to build something by himself? To have the ultimate control over the product? If I would win this product, I would proudly repair my colleauges watches for free. And of course look good with my new watches, which I can change according to my daily mood.

not everything need to have a reason.
have you ever think why you love your loved one?
is it because she's beautiful?
or is it because she's caring?
what if someday your loved one gone in a crash lost her legs, and her beautiful face, she can't cares about you anymore, she's not beauty anymore. so is it means that you don't have any reasons to love her anymore? no?

so that's what i feel about designs. i love design, no reason.
and so that's why i need to win this watch, coz i love it, and no reason.

Disassembling is the way to learn how a products work, and since I am a Product Engineer student this set could help me assemble it aslo (a)

(And i do not even have a watch ! =O)

Because…
The only reason I wear watches is not to know what time it is. (That's where I have a mobile phone for)
It's because they can be a fashion statement.

woha nice Idea and a very simple and usefull design.

I designed a watch (you can see the concept on my website) and at the moment I'm looking for a way to produce it. With this item I could be more into the watch production itself. And of course this kit is simply amazing. Didn't know things like this existed at all.
If I say “please” do I have more chances? Well, just to be sure: Please!

I always wanted time that's my own.

Man, this thing is awesome! I’ve been looking for a good watch for a while now, but I could never find one that was in my price range: free definitely is. Also, I’m hoping to in the business world, which necesitates a nicer watch; that said, I also want to have a watch that won’t make me look like I’m trying to look to formal when I’m just hangin’ out. The multiple straps would solve that perfectly. Oh, and I’m hoping to work internationally, so it’d be cool to have a watch for home and wherever I am.

I'm searching for a watch since a month. Found it!

I like to tinker with things and make them my own. This kit would give me the chance to customize a sweet watch. I'd love it!

I need this kit so I can start training to be an apprentice watch-smith!

I would like to win this because it would make a great gift for my best friend. He is in his twenties, he's smart and very handy when it comes to understanding how things work, assembling and disassembling objects. Have been looking for some watch models with him for the past half year and I feel these models look like some of the ones he showed me in several shops. This would be a great gift for him, a watch and a DIY kit. He would definitely love it.

I would like to win this because my hobby is watches. I fix them, make them, and some times break them by mistake. This would be a perfect birthday gift because my birthday is coming up.

I should win – I like to make cool things and I like to wear cool watches.

I like watches!

My husband's birthday is coming up and he'd love this, for really and truly, and that way I wouldn't have to look at his banged up watch anymore.

I just started investing my time in watched and would definitely learn a lot with this kit.

I love watches and this is the perfect kit for persons who enjoy style and changing the looks every now and them

Because I believe it would be really fun to put my own watch together.

I just started working on a new job and I need to spoil myself with an awsome TOKYObay gift! Also, I need to add some funky to my business style!

I should win because it is time.

Because it's AWESOME! I can hear it ticking! and the colors are really elegant!

My time, my watch, my kit.

Pick me!!! I recently got let go due to cutbacks at my design firm and can use a nice watch for interviews!!!!

I had a sick fetish for Sylar on Heroes and a watchmaking kit reminds me of him…

Ok….Here goes. I am currently designing a scrapbooking tool case which as you may have guessed is mainly geared towards the feminine persuasion. As such the cute factor plays a big part in the design. The DIY Watch Kit by TOKYObay has man and mechanics written all over it with an injection of style all its own. It will definately do its job in bringing me back down out of the clouds for sure. I love it. Funky, mechanical, work on me beat nick style definately is a plus.

i really need a new watch but i can't find in the shop the one i really would like (for reasonable price). so that's why winning this would be so awesome for me could just make my own watch. can it actually be more awesome?

I should cause I never win anything, and I think it's timeto

I have been looking for a good watch for a while now and 10 minutes before reading this the watch I have been wearing in the meantime finally gave out. I would love to be able to fix my old one and build a new one!

I should get it because I'm too broke to afford a cool watch on my own.

because the only way to have a good watch is to make your own..
..and because Chuck Norris loves a good watch..

I’ve been searching for a watch for a while now and am simply disenchanted with the current trends and styles that out there now. A DIY kit would be just what I need. I would also take great pride in knowing that what I’m wearing is something that is unique to me and I built myself. I would love to have this.

I would like to win this amazing watch kit because it'd be a perfect pastime in the evening…

I should be the one to win it because I really haven't ever had a DIY project. Well, only the ones at school, but they weren't nearly as fun as this one looks here It would be really cool to try something new and fun – making a watch that fits your style is exactly that! Can't wait for the results!

I have a great, great uncle who was a watchmaker and I have always been fascinated by the craft. I design jewelry and am always drawn to great design and classic timepieces. As designers and crafts people, we must keep old world craftsmanship alive. This kit is a reminder of how quickly our culture has become disconnected with how things were once handmade. I'd like to see more products like this. Please consider me for this awesome kit!

I would never be able to afford such an amazing and quality product, I love these watches!!

as a poor design student in a very expensive city, this kit should come to me or any other poor student out here…

I'd like to win this watch because my trusty old TB Barber watch crystal broke, and I'm broken-hearted by it!

I'm a industrial design student and I enjoy designing

Time is precious
looking at the time you can see how thoughts come and go as well as life going by
that's why i enjoy whenever i'm starting a new project that will surely remember me that time runs out of our hands and that every second can be a wonderful sparkle of geniality

I'd love to win this kit, and surprise my friend (secret crush!) with it. He's totally into watches and this would definitely be right up his alley.

because… my time is my own.

My grandfather has been a watch maker his entire life and is very near hanging it up because he is having trouble with the small parts. He’s been slowly giving me tools and parts because he knows I build electronics, but I have no idea where I would start with a watch. I think it would be a great way for me to start to understand what he’s dedicated his life to.

My orthopedic surgeon says that working on this watch would be good therapy for my thumbs, which I hurt while riding a damed horse. I also like watches.

Because I was on my way to Detroit Airport this morning on my way to tokyo for spring break. Now Japan has turned into Atlantis, my trip was cancelled, and I have nothing to do for the next week. Hope everyone is japan is okay though

I would love to be one of the lucky few to win one of these TOKYOBAY kits, as this is a real quality prize, in keeping with the ethos of Yanko Design and good taste in general. Plus there is the fact I am a watch collector and this would serve me well for many years to come..as well as add two outstanding items to my modest collection.

Here's hoping..and the best of luck to everyone who enters!

Dan

I would love to win this set. As I can create a watch for myself, and also use this to fix other old watches that I have on my to do list.

I am a new father of a wonderful 8 year old boy. We like to build stuff out of Legos and make models together. While we were at a mall recently he seen the watches in the jewelry department and asked me if he could have one. It would be really cool for us to build one together, learning something cool, and he could really be proud of it. It really would be cool!

Too cool! Would love to create my own watch.

i need it because it is awesome and i would would like to be awesome too

Man, this thing is awesome! I’ve been looking for a good watch for a while now, but I could never find one that was in my price range: free definitely is. Also, I’m hoping to in the business world, which necesitates a nicer watch; that said, I also want to have a watch that won’t make me look like I’m trying to look to formal when I’m just hangin’ out. The multiple straps would solve that perfectly. Oh, and I’m hoping to work internationally, so it’d be cool to have a watch for home and wherever I am.

A watch will be good to cover up an embarrassing tattoo. Those tools are awesome and I like to build things.

I need this kit to save me from many a weekend frivolity. Idle hands are the Devil's workshop.

I'd like to have a customizable watch that I can customize myself!

Great design and originality are two of my passions, and I would love the opportunity to win the DIY kit. Thanks!

I love this product. Its a design geek's dream! Precision tools, custom carrying case, variable accessory looks. This kit will finally grant me control over manipulating time itself! Brilliant!

This would be awesome. I've been wanting a watch for years!

It would be great to be able to get the back off my watchers to replace the batteries and clean the parts without running to the shop,I'm thinking of the money i will save already.

I am the one who should win this amazing kit!

I deserve to win because my Citizen watch wrist band JUST broke today in line for an iPad2 which I didn't get. I need a win somewher!

How fabulous to build my own unique watch! I love unusual and one of a kind pieces. This would definitely qualify.

I've just finished studying physics at university and am starting to feel i may have made a mistake with my degree choice.

To quote Einstein,

“The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking…the solution to this problem lies in mankind. If only I had known, I would have become a watchmaker.”

I want to win this kit for a first step on my new career path.

That, and i'm always late.

Timeless Design for the one who is inspired by them..

I just started a watch collection, with a Hamilton Ventura, a few designer watches, a Citizen Eco Drive, and a Campanola Perpetual Calendar. This would be more of an everyday addition to my collection, seeing as how I only wear the Citizen (as it's most appropriate) on a more frequent basis. I'd love to get my hands on this!!

I am on a mission to change my health and the way I look and feel. I have lost 28 lbs. in 18 days, and feel GREAT! Now my clothes and watch are all big, baggy and old. I need this DIY kit to step up my style as I work on the NEW me!

Time and the perception of time is not consistent. Neither is my mood. The TOKYObay kit would help me adapt.

My grandfather has been a watch maker his entire life and is very near hanging it up because he is having trouble with the small parts. He’s been slowly giving me tools and parts because he knows I build electronics, but I have no idea where I would start with a watch. I think it would be a great way for me to start to understand what he’s dedicated his life to.

I'm the one because the only thing missing from my impressing all the ladies is my lack of a really impressive self-designed watch. I'm lonely and knowing that kit is the only thing standing between me and happiness tears me up inside.

If I had this watch kit, I would make a watch for my grandmother who is currently entering the early stages of alzheimer's.

i should win it because i deserve a bit of good luck in my life.

I'd love to win this, because it would be an excellent wedding gift for my fiance.

I've always like buying nice designed watches with leather straps but most of the straps would not last forever and to find replacement is difficult. It is also more difficult when you have the right replacement straps but the watch shop owners would need to charge you a fee to fix them.

This kit is the ideal solution to my problems and the watches in there are beautiful.

Imagine a simple yet elegant personalized watch designed by an American and a Japanese worn by a French living in design wonderland, namely Denmark! This is precisely why I would love to win this amazing kit!

…because I'm a game designer who really appreciates a set like this. And, I want to get my hands on it and see what I can come up with to take it to the next level.

I NEED THIS! it should complete my Nuclear holocaust/zombie outbreak survival kit. Indeed it is the last item missing.
I am right now writing this from a cave in a rural part of the desert where I have built my secluded shelter that is camouflaged and can only be seen by either a trained alien bounty hunter from outer space, or an original real life caveman from the stone ages.
and seeing as i am hundreds of miles away from civilization the possibility of needing such a kit is a definitely high, in fact my very own survival might depends on it! and perhaps the survival of all of man kind! Sirs, please, this is my and perhaps human kind's only hope! send me the kit, and fast!

I don't know how much i can stay longer… the typing machine i used to write this (powered by a mere battery i built from dead lizards bones, a potato, and hair from my own chest is draining fast)… send… kit… pleaseee…

I’ve a friend who would love something like this. If I got it, I’d give it to him as a present~

I’ve always wanted my very own Limited Edition DIY Watch Kit by TOKYObay! Seriously.

I need it because I destroyed my watch last year and I was unable to get to a shop and buy another one.

My watch stopped working a couple of days ago, i keep getting late all the time now!

Never seen gadget like this. It is a great toolkit I need one.

I would very much like to have this kit! It is a great step towards mass customization and it looks like it would be a lot of fun to create and show off a unique custom watch.

So.I’m a student of industrial design with a fascination for the history of watch making. I absolutely love building things, and would love to be able to wear a piece that I could assemble myself. Oh.and my ocd REALLY wants to play with those big red latches on the case!

Never could I find a watch to actually suit well with my style. TOKYOBay has the excellent solution for me with this DIY watch kit I can easily DIY my watch to go along with my day to day outfit. I had you at my wrist….

As an artist working in 2, 3, and 4D making art about everything in multiple scales and substrates, my artistic world is defined by a vision, a manifesto, and requires tools or implements of mass creation. The various tools allotted in this kit have multiple uses allowing for working in miniature, doing camera repair, electronics and for repairing glasses besides the prescribed watch repair. Given possession of these implements of deconstruction and assembly, I would find a variety of adaptations to solve large and small micro problems. Time being the 4th dimension made real by the finely designed watches and the respective craftsmanship of the watchmaker; or as in my case the artist/sculptor. I look forward to any designs and art made possible through a merger and intersection in time between the designer, the manufacturer, this contest, and me.

I am currently in uh industrial design school & it so happens I have a thing for watches! I love the mechanism and would really love to put together one myself, it would be a perfect opportunity to expore new roots for me.

I need this because I dropped my watch in the toilet and now have no way to tell time.

This TOKYObay DIY Watch Kit seems to be like my girl…
before we are together, there's so much guys courting her……I give all my heart to her
after we are together, I was the only one side in her……I give all my life to her……

I would love to win this because cool watches and sweet design make me tick!

I have always been interested in horology. This could be my start.

Because a customizable watch is just what i need to upgrade my level of awesomeness. Especially

I want to win this watch for my husband. 4 years ago I became ill with back problems. He was supposed to retire but kept working so I would have the ins. to pay for the 4 surgeries. He just retired finally in Jan. and now spends his time taking care of me. He has always loved DIY projects from taking the car apart to fixing the toaster. He would love this. I would love to give it to him. Thanks for the opportunity to try to win it.

So.I’m a student of industrial design with a fascination for the history of watch making. I absolutely love building things, and would love to be able to wear a piece that I could assemble myself. Oh.and my ocd REALLY wants to play with those big red latches on the case!

I have always felt that watches express a lot about the wearer, and connect to intense memories. my black leather and gold faced ESQ Swiss watch was the first watch I owned, presented to me by my grandparents on the day of my high school graduation, and I will always remember their proud faces on that day. My gunmetal Pulsar displays originality and sophistication. When I look at it each time I think of my older brother buying me the watch for my 20th birthday, and the special bonding we gained as brothers shopping together. My most recent watch is actually the oldest, my great grandfather's Hamilton pocket watch. It lay unused for many years until I unearthed it from a coin collection, and it is one of my most prized possessions. I was honored when my mom decided that I should keep it, and I look forward to the day when I can have it properly restored to working condition. I sincerely hope to win this watch kit because I don't want my collection to end. The idea of deciding the specific nature of my watch based on my mood or the type of business I must attend to in the day sounds remarkable, and it is a great story to add to the watches I already own. As a senior in college, about the face the realities of the workforce I realize it will likely be a while until I can buy another watch, thus this offer is exceptionally appealing. I hope to take good care of my watches so they may be passed on to my children one day, but i know only a small amount about their care and keep. My great grandfather was exceptionally skilled at watches, but unfortunately I was never able to learn his talent. To be able to win the tools of this set would allow me that opportunity, to follow in his steps. Thank you for offering such a beautiful collection of watches and tools, I sincerely hope that I am considered.

I am currently in uh industrial design school & it so happens I have a thing for watches! I love the mechanism and would really love to put together one myself, it would be a perfect opportunity to expore new roots for me.

Because I would really like to have a blinding white watch tan that is more stylish than the one I have now

i really would love to win this watch kit. I am the one to win this kit, because i have a style that you just cant buy in a shop, and i love diy and customization.

Destiny

Passionate design student and have a love for unique products as well as watches. This is a perfect gift for any young designer such as myself. Thank you!

Watches are obsolete….. Watch-making kits are not.

Sun -> Sundials -> Clocks -> Watches -> Phones etc. -> Customizable Watches

I'd love to win this because I've always loved the watch designs on Yanko Design. I own the silver Reveal Watch and want more of the stunning designs on this site, plus others than aren't here yet, like the concept watches with Solar Cells in them (I voted for them!)

I want something unique, interesting and something that evokes conversation on my wrist. I can't always wear a watch as I often work with my hands and would possibly destroy them, but when I wear a watch, I want it to be sensational, different and thought-provoking. This would suit the bill for me.

Plus when I lecture, I use a data projector and my students often comment on my Reveal Watch. I'd love to offer them something unique to comment about!

awesome! i'd love to have this kit! i think it's gonna be an great change for my watch collection!

Because i just by accident drowned my cellphone, I used it for checking the time. Now when its dead I don't have any idea what time it is.

The ability to control and bend the physical representation of time is something man can only dream of . I am hoping if given the opportunity, and also the responsibility , of this power I shall be able to improve peoples lives if only by the showing of my awesome new watch

//////////////////////////
Three reasons
//////////////////////////

#1 I love watches
#2 I like this kind of design, where you can make your own combinations
#3 As a young industrial design student I can't afford this

Not sure why I should win. I guess we all have an equal chance at winning.
I'd love to win it, looks great, and it would be intresting to try and put together a watch for myself.
But it does not do to dwell on hope and forget to live.

I would love a new watch because I lost mine in an experimental device to subtract the intrinsic field of matter. Without it, I seem to be losing touch…..

-Jon

I bet on my luck . It would be nice to start new hobby with this kit.

Oh this is soo cool! I want one because it be fun to put my watches together by myself…plus makes it a fun blog entry.

The watch kit? – for me? – why? Because as well as the need for everyone to be able to repair a watch that has ceased to function, there are also two watches contained within – one for each wrist or just two for one. And, on top of that, it's my birthday the minute after this comp closes – it would be very niceeeee

Why ? Because ! It’s an Amazing kit for Thrilling wtach experience, as a product designer, i could realise my creations around the watch !
So That while I found this Kit sooooo usefull…

I wouod love to win this and have the opportunity to rub it in my friends faces! Downtown San Diego needs to see how awesome this kit is, and I would love to be the one to show them!

I love watches and I love tinkering with the ones I already have. A kit like this would a allow my tinkering design spirit to fly free, soaring high above the yanko plains.

I NEED this watchset because i have made almost every part of my outfit myself, EXCEPT for my watch. Thats why!!

I would have the coolest wrist on the block!

I would have the coolest wrist on the block! Others will be jealous.

i soooooooooooooooooooooooo need this kit.. i cant seem to find a watch that is completely me.. and now with this i may be happy looking @ the time

I have always wanted to get into tinkering with watches. I have been collecting for a while and I have 7 watches at the moment including 2 new Casio's, an older Tissot, a few pocket watches and an old mariner. 4 of the seven currently are not in running condition. I would love to be able to get all the watches running myself, without having to take them to a jeweller.

I have worked with cars and as someone who works in an office and produces software, the idea of working with my hands and actually having something physical to show for my hard work is always so much more fulfilling.

I thank you for your consideration.

WoWWWW! I would very much like to win this (though I doubt I will)..

I think i should win this because my watch recently broke, and I don't have the documentation to show its on warranty. I've been looking for a watch that I like, but can never find one that I both like and can afford. Plus I love and do so many DIY projects, that this seems like such an awesome confluence of being able to DIY and to create a new watch that suits my style. Good luck everyone!

I would love to win this kit to add to/make a neat short film on watches; a combination of video and photos, I have been experimenting with building the character of each watch in a setting to convey an identity/story. This would facilitate this project very much!

I have been in and out of work for about a year. I’m thinking that a stylish new watch might just put me over the top in an interview! Also, I need a project or I might just twist off!

I want it cuz it's friggin amazing!! Being able to customize an everyday object!
And also because I am forever being caught out by the, What time is it?? Time you got a watch!….. Joke
PLease

Because I love customizing and I love watches.

doing tokyobay's work for them! in fact that sounds like a good job..

I'm starting a new job tomorrow at an awesome startup focused on real-time web analytics. I would love to have the watch to wear around the office to remind us of the original real-time analytic tool!

that looks worth having and i think i deserve that because i'm broke and schizophrenic most of the time!

I need a new watch PPP and this one would be perfect!

I am a student and currently unemployed (but still looking). Spring Break is right around the corner and I need something to keep me busy.

I should receive this DIY watch kit because I could use a new watch!

I could tell you about how I just spent half a year of savings on applying for a spousal visa & moving out of a shoebox appartement (basement, one room.)
I could also tell you about how my current watch is just a boring Lorus I nicked from my dad when he stopped using it.
And then there's the story about how we can't even afford a couch, and have a single wobbly table and a couple of chairs as furniture for now…

But in the end, my life is pretty rad here in Sydney with my girlfriend whom I met through World of Warcaft (really!), and I have nothing to complain really!

So please, just send me the watch kit so I can boast to my watch-collecting colleague

Cheers,

I totally need this Kit because I wear so many different hats for work – Im a Psychotherapist by day (sleek – classic look needed here) and then off to teach YOGA in a hot packed studio full of ever so conservative green types (green-eco friendly look needed here)-
then its my turn for just me- great food at a hip cool place or a glass of wine at a fun new wine bar (fun- super cool edgy look needed here)
IF ANYONE NEEDS A WATCH KIT YD ITS ME!!!
fountain

i need it because i need a respectable watch to wear instead of those cheap Velcro ones you get in cereal boxes

I actually got robbed on my JACQUES LEMANS like a month ago, which I really, really loved!!
Ironically, I've haven't had time to renew my insurance/guarantee on it, since it had it's due date in the beginning of this year..
Even worse is that I found out that the model I had, is not even in production anymore, so if I were to buy a new one.. it can't be done!
The last time I think I actually cried over something, I might've been at the age of 12.. that is soon about to change though.

Why ? Because ! It’s an Amazing kit for Thrilling wtach experience, as a product designer, i could realise my creations around the watch !
So That while I found this Kit sooooo usefull…

I wouod love to win this and have the opportunity to rub it in my friends faces! Downtown San Diego needs to see how awesome this kit is, and I would love to be the one to show them!

“Life is all about timing… the unreachable becomes reachable, the unavailable become available, the unattainable… attainable. Have the patience, wait it out It's all about timing.” I hope I have the Right Timing to win this beautiful kit!

I love watches and I love tinkering with the ones I already have. A kit like this would a allow my tinkering design spirit to fly free, soaring high above the yanko plains.

well because im a jewelry maker and “jewel crafter” by trade i would be embellishing or re-working most the watches or making different straps for the redone watch faces as well as putting my own watch faces to the straps provided. thats why i should have this awesome kit!!!

I'd love to win this watch kit because I enjoy creating things and I love unique watches. This kit is perfect!

I should have this because for once, instead of taking old watches apart just to see how they work, I can finally put together a new watch and watch it work. What a reversal!

The opportunities yank design allows us to have are magnificent. These designs are truly beautiful, to own them would be a privilege.

I would have the coolest wrist on the block!

I would have the coolest wrist on the block! Others will be jealous.

i fly a lot. i would carry the kit with me on long flights, and when the idiot next to me asked me if i know what time it is, i will say “just a minute”pull out the kit and spend the rest of the flight assembling the watch, then answer his question upon completion.

uhmm i lost my watch…

website is down

I'm a technology teacher in New Zealand and this is just the kind of kit I need to show my pupils so they can see how industrial design can be applied in any situation. Also, I think it's a really cool kit and few if any, New Zealanders ever win these contests. Therefore, in the interests of geographic equity, I think I am a very good selection for winning this competition.

I have been in and out of work for about a year. I’m thinking that a stylish new watch might just put me over the top in an interview! Also, I need a project or I might just twist off!

When I look around at a heap of objects that most people would consider trash, I see a pile of possibilities. What gives their mind a quick impression of decay and not another thought, sends my mind racing in a hundred different directions. I see potential. I see materials to create something new and interesting. They see an end. I see infinite beginnings. So did my grandpa Steven.
Nestled in the center of Maplewood you could find an old neighborhood filled with old trees and old one story houses, the generic suburbia of the post war boom. When you came to Grandpa's house in this old neighborhood, you would find nothing generic. Walking up between the garage and the house, just past his giant cherry tomato plant, you would come to a green painted fence casting little diamond hatch shadows on the ground. The posts of the gates were mounted in cement, but it wasn't some boring industrial looking foundation. It had its own unique look, a look of childhood fun and imagination. This was accomplished with the shining glint of marbles placed into the cement as it dried, and a little toy dinosaur mounted into the cement keeping watch on the entryway to the patio. The cement paving stones that composed the patio where ornamented with all kinds of little objects to add color and interesting shapes. Little pieces of sheet metal Grandpa had taking home from the factory, those little red sticks that come in the cheese and cracker packets, and all kinds of other stuff served to break up the bleak look of concrete. TIn the back yard there a huge lilac hedge big enough for us grand children to climb. Grandpa cut paths through them so it became our little fort. On summer days when the limbs where just right, Grandpa would go and cut us branches and then use green balling wire to make use little bows and arrows. Every thing in his house had his craftsmanship and ingenuity in it. always a little backward, but always wonderful.
Nestled in the center of Oakdale you can find a not so old neighborhood with younger trees and newer homes, generic of the new American suburbia. When you come to the house I grew up in you'll find almost nothing generic. Thanks nearly entirely to my efforts. If you walk into my back yard you will find a stone pathway made out of pieces of discarded granite counter tops. At the end of that path you'll discover a shed filled with tools and trinkets and things I'm sure you would consider junk. Beside the shed there's a blacksmithing forge made out of an old kitchen sink, and some railroad scrap for an anvil. There's a fish pond made with rocks scavenged from a construction sight heap, and over in the corner you might catch a glimpse of an old fence foundation with marbles and a little dinosaur in it, long since taken from its original place.
My name is Steven and I learned to see the potential in everything to create something thats of worth from my Grandpa Steven. His legacy lives on in my name and the treasures I create in the same way he did.
My fondest trinkets of his besides the few tools i have form him, is several old watches, non of them are running, but all of them have great potential. My guess is that is why he never threw them out. I have always wanted to get them running again, but taking them into a jeweler just doesn't seem right for the watches of a man who repaired everything himself. I would love to try to use these tools to take apart and clean these old hand wound watches and see if i can get them working again, just like grandpa I’m sure had planed to.

I have some watch designs in my head that need to see the light of day,
and so I think this kit has the tools to provide me with the power to play
the watch god and start to create.
Seriously… in times like these, where people have no watches anymore
we need to have new and interesting designs and functionalities for watches,
otherwise they'll become extinct.

So also if I don't get the kit,
keep on creating people!

For no bloody reason at all this kit should be mine

When I can't create some more time, I would like to receive some time
When leather doesn't fit my outfit, I would like to receive canvas
If I would receive time and canvas, I can become an artist

For now,
I'm just a designer
