Information — Faux Wrist

FAUX

an idea brought to life through the
fascinating hobby of watch-making.

My name is Josh, and I make watches. I used to say, “I make fake watches” but this whole thing feels more real to me than I ever thought it would.

I’m the kind of person that can say I’ve pretty much enjoyed my life. I don’t have too many regrets kind of a guy, but a couple years ago I just had a string of bad times, that turned into a couple of bad years.

I had to seriously consider changing some of my life habits / like, the way I was living my life. Getting into watches really helped pull me out of a hole, I loved it… and then all at once I lost my dog King, and my Mom in the same summer… I didn’t truly understand how important she was to me until she was gone.
.

It was honestly brutal, and I hadn’t felt a pain like that ever in my life. I just found myself continuing to go back to the watch bench to build my next piece, slow down my mind, and genuinely reflect on everything that felt out of my control.

I consider FAUX WRIST a form of art therapy. Making watches helps me understand my thoughts in a way that feels different . I feel like I can help carry on these legacies of my friends, or my dog, or just creativity in general, and pour that into a watch knowing someone will either wear this and continue to carry that light… or even just admire the project as a whole. I’m just trying to keep this positive, pick up the pieces every time I fall down… and make watches.
