Cloisonné Flaming Flamingo by Merry-Lee Rae - 38mm Swiss Automatic
How to Measure Your Wrist
In order to select the correct band length for your wrist, you'll need to know your wrist size.
Measure your wrist with a soft tape measure around the part of your wrist that you like to wear your watch.
If you don't have a soft tape measure handy, you can measure it by wrapping a piece of string or ribbon around the part of your wrist that you like to wear your watch. Mark the length and measure it with a ruler in inches. This is your wrist size.
If your wrist size falls in between 2 lengths (ie. a 6.25" or 7.0" wrist), you have to know your preference - would you enjoy a shorter band with less tail, or a longer band with more tail?
Depending on your style, remember to consider if you like to wear your watch looser in the Summer than in the Winter.

CLOISONNÉ BY MERRY-LEE RAE
Merry-Lee Rae is the two time winner of the Saul Bell Design Award for Enamels and winner of the MJSA Vision Award for Enamel Distinction.
She began making jewelry as a teenager and her fascination with enamels and precious metals has been her lifelong passion. Her formal education was in mathematics and she fully intended to pursue a respectable career in Silicon Valley but as luck would have it, Merry-Lee got too busy doing what she loved and never had time to go to work. Instead, she found herself participating in the American Craft Council shows including Rhinebeck, Baltimore, West Springfield and San Francisco. She also participated in JCK Las Vegas in the Design Center.
Cloisonné enameling has been her focus since 1976. She has honed her craft with the enthusiasm of an artist and the intensity of a mathematician creating works of intricate detail fusing glass on metal. She is guilty of thoroughly enjoying her work.
"I see myself as a dedicated romantic, expressing love of life through my art. Using glass and gold, I create sunshine shouts of joy or murmurs of quiet remoteness. The resulting cloisonné jewelry is my voice. What really matters are the people who are touched by it in some way.”

Sustainability
Our mechanical watches embrace sustainability, art and longevity. Mechanical watches are made to last. They are designed to be repaired instead of replaced. With proper care and cleaning, they can outlast generations.
They are also considered eco-friendly because they use a renewable energy source (the movement of your wrist) for power. They don’t require batteries but it’s a good idea to have the inside of the watch cleaned and relubricated every 5 years or so to keep it running smoothly.
In regards to sustainability, another advantage of purchasing a Swiss Celeste automatic is that not only are the dials handcrafted in-house, but the watches are assembled and regulated here in Oregon too. Any needed servicing down the line will be done here. Compared to having an Omega, Rolex or other Swiss brand serviced, the process is greener because you don’t have to send your watch overseas (or wait 3-6 months for its return) which minimizes the carbon footprint of having your watch serviced.
