RGM Custom Bermuda Watch
The Bermuda watch was ordered by a client who had seen pictures of the Model 25 Kauai watch we made a few years ago and wanted the same watch with Bermuda in place of Kauai. I searched images to see the shape of the island of Bermuda, I realized with its shape another approach would be necessary. Bermuda has many tiny coves and small islands around it so it would not be practical to try and make the watch precisely like the Kauai watch.

I thought about different options and after finding an image of a very lovely antique map of Bermuda, I knew making a dial that resembled this map would make a beautiful unique watch. After explaining the idea to our client he agreed and the project was started.
After some artwork was done and ideas exchanged we added a small ruby in a gold setting at the precise location requested by our client. Another idea was to make the chapter ring blue since the map was all in silver.

We photographed the watch with a brown strap and a pink strap which is how it was delivered to our client, the pink strap reminds him of the pink sand of Bermuda.
The end result was another beautiful unique watch that has a special meaning to its owner.
