Returning to the roots of watchmaking, before the days of specialized machining and advanced manufacturing processes. James handmakes everything from the case itself out of Argentium Silver hallmarked by the London Assay office, to the lugs, and the crown. All of the work is done by hand - no modern CNC equipment. Because of this every piece is essentially a unique piece with characteristics specific watch. The watch itself is 39mm and just over 9.5mm tall. At Jake's had continued to work on his Origin Series, he had been and to incorporate additional improvements as well including a new etched crown and double spring bar hits for straight or curved lugs, as well as other more subtle changes. The Solstice and Equinox Series was made in collaboration with Lennox Jewelers. And I would be remiss not to mention @onlybuyingtime, who is a fantastic supporter is small independent watchmakers and also collaborated to make this series possible. But in the end, it's the incredible skill and craftsmanship by James Lamb that makes these wonderful creations possible. Here's two of photos from @onlybuyingtime showing the pieces.

Just received a notice that Collective will be announcing a new collaboration with James Lamb. Very excited to see this new project and I'll update with photos.
