So I've done the draw for a pair of OOAK Toronto tickets and the winner is:
Congratulations! I'll be contacting you directly with all the details. Thanks to everyone who started following me on Twitter or liking my Facebook page. Hope to see you all the show!
Just a quick note about my little draw for a pair of One of a Kind Xmas show tickets. I'm going to be doing the draw for the tickets whether or not I reach 100 follows on my Twitter account (@wilkdesigns) or 100 likes on my Facebook page (Wilk Watchworks and Jewellery Designs).
I've decided I'll just do the draw on Sunday November 20th at 5pm EST because it doesn't look like I'm going to reach the 100 mark. Remember if you both follow me on Twitter and like my Facebook page, you'll be entered twice in the draw! Good luck everyone!
Well, it's about 2 weeks to go until I'll be at the One of a Kind Xmas Show. Things are coming together but of course, just like always, I think everything is going to come down to the last minute. I always worry that I'm not going to get everything finished that I've set out to do but it always seems to come together in the end. I've been especially ambitious this time around trying to complete 16 new watches for the show and it may be this goal which will be my undoing. As of right now I have 12 watches that should definitely be finished. Here are a couple snaps of the dials in progress:
I've got a mix of some new designs with some designs from my sterling silver watches. I thought I'd bring a couple of those designs over to my stainless steel watches to show that my watches are very customizable.
In terms of the customization available, it can be as simple as swapping one strap out for another or putting in a different movement or as complex as designing a new dial from scratch. I could even go so far as to make a case and dial for you, like the special client who is getting this watch:
So it looks like for the next couple weeks I'm not going to be getting much sleep as I have loads to do, but I'll be at the show starting November 29th in booth # O-35. Please come by and say hi!
I'm still running my ticket giveaway, all you have to do to enter is follow me on Twitter (@wilkdesigns) or like my Facebook page (Wilk Watchworks and Jewellery Designs). Draw will be happening next weekend(Sunday Nov 20th at 5pm EST) regardless of whether or not I reach the goal of 100 followers on twitter or facebook. Good luck!
A big thanks goes out to Heather Camlot from Workliveplaycafe.com for picking my one of my large stainless steel watches as a Top 10 Geek Chic pick for the OOAK this year! Check out the article:

The watches that I corraboratively made with Hugh from Movies in Haiku steal the show here because of their awesomeness! Can't wait to make another watch with him.
Thanks again to Thrillist!

Just a quick note about my preparations for the One of a Kind show. Not much has changed since my last post except that I should be getting my dials from the caster this week and then the real work starts!
I worked out some new packaging for this show! I have some new boxes for my stainless steel watches and new bags and custom tags for the bags. Here's a picture of what you'll get if purchase a stainless steel watch from me:
Oh and because Halloween just passed, here's a picture of my son and my wife with him all dressed up for his first Halloween ever! I had a lot of fun getting him ready even though the costume was way too big for him and I had to alter it...though I think I had more fun with the lightsabre than he did!
