John Isaac WatchFunction meets whimsy and old-world charm with what’s soon-to-be the hottest new accessory this season: the John Isaac watch. Born out of family tradition, Isaac’s grandfather was a renowned watch repairman in Geneva. Isaac launched his line using meticulous old-world, Swiss watchmaking techniques.

The watch faces are hand painted or engraved with one-of-a-kind symbols such as skulls, cannabis or butterflies, and have adorned the wrists of many celebrities. Because so much detail and attention goes into each watch, it takes four to six weeks to create just one gorgeous dial, and more than 68 hours to complete the hand painted symbol. The collection is limited to only 1,000 pieces worldwide, so you better hurry. This is one time the old adage, ‘better late than never’ definitely doesn’t apply.
