I've been fascinated by watches for as long as I can remember.
It all started with my very first watch—a simple Casio. From that moment on, I was hooked. What began as a childhood fascination eventually grew into a lifelong passion for collecting and appreciating timepieces.
Over the years, my collection has grown to include everything from Casio and G-Shock to Tissot, Breitling, and Rolex. Each watch has taught me to appreciate different styles, movements, and the craftsmanship that goes into creating something meant to last a lifetime.
Some of my favorite memories are visiting my grandfather's house, where a large grandfather clock stood in the corner of the room. Every hour it would chime, but noon was always my favorite. I'd stop whatever I was doing just to watch it and listen to the sound. That clock sparked my curiosity about how watches and clocks could measure time with such precision.
As I got older, I discovered that my passion ran even deeper than I realized. My great-great-grandfather was a watchmaker and repairman, spending his days servicing and restoring mechanical timepieces. Seeing his photograph reminds me that working on watches isn't just something I enjoy—it's a connection to my family's history.
Today, CRC Watch Mods is where those experiences come together. Every watch is hand-assembled by me using reliable automatic movements and carefully selected components. My designs are inspired by the watches I've admired and collected throughout my life, while adding my own personal touch to create something unique.
Whether you're looking for a dependable everyday watch, a rugged diver, or a one-of-a-kind custom build, my goal is simple: to build a watch that I'm proud to put my name on and that you'll be proud to wear.
