It's funny when I think back to how we got here. I was looking back at the emails that came in the day the article about us appeared in the Chronicle Telegram -

I got just south of 100 emails that first day, and we didn't even have a watch yet - just an idea and a rendering! It was April 2nd, 2021.
And finally, on May 5th we were ready to start shipping watches, and 65 went out the door. And the funny part was, we had orders from Oberlin, other parts of Ohio, all around the US, Canada, the UK, Japan, Finland, Croatia, Belgium, France, Switzerland... it was pretty remarkable.
