The design inspiration for The Castaway came from my time living on boats in the Ala Wai harbor. The shape of the watch caserepresents the bow waves formed from a boat or canoe underway. In the harbor, there's a small window of time whenthe night overtakes the sunset and a glimmer of copper color melts into the water. As the light fades, the winds usually calm and you'd hear the gentle sound of the water on the hull of the boat. The temperature is so perfect, you can't tell where your skin ends. The Māhealanimoon rises and illuminates the deep dark blue of the ocean. It's that memory that this design pulls from.
Beyond theaesthetic design,the desire was tocreatea wood watch for men that never had to be taken off. The crown is inset the maximum amount to prevent rubbing on your wrist. The silicone band will stand up to whatever you throw at it and looks at home in board shorts or a suit. If you decide to take it off, the quick deployment clasp makes it easy without the need to resize the watch.The strategy seems to be working asthe watch received 40 out of 42, 5-star reviews (the other two were 4 stars).
