The Strength of Fashion, by Verdure

The Lure Collection: What inspired it?

Hello again! 
it's been a long while since the last blog post, so I decided to come back on here but to speak from a bit of a different angle from before. 
so recently I released my newest collection titled the "Lure collection" and this one here is very special to me for the simple fact of what inspired it. so I would love to take this opportunity to let the public in to how I came up with the design.

so when you take a look at the face, or "dial" of the watch, you can see that it looks like a fish scale pattern. well, at home I have a fish tank and one day as I was sitting on my couch I thought to myself that I could incorporate somehow their scales into a design. also there is crushed up coral at the bottom of the fish tank, so the spiked design on the bezel signifies the crushed up coral.
for the past designs, I decided to go with 5ATM waterproof, which is really basic. you can swim with it but it doesn't mean you should. but it is still ok if you wash your hands and water gets on it, it will have no effect to the watch. With the "Lure Collection", I decided to make it 10ATM which means you can actually go snorkeling in it with no effect to the watch. 
Also, a new feature with our watches is the screw-down crown. Call it a safety feature for a few reasons. 
  1. It prevents any dust or small particles from entering the watch around the crown
  2. Although the watch is waterproof, it too can prevent any water from seeping in when in the pool or snorkeling or anything like that.
  3. if you are an active individual, it will prevent the crown from inadvertently moving around and altering the time.
The vulcanized rubber strap with the signature "Verdure" logo on the inside so you know it is an official Verdure piece, provides for an extremely comfortable wear, almost to the point where you don't even realize that its on. Add the butterfly clasp for an easy application and we are talking extreme comfort forreal.
ON the inside, we have a beautiful automatic movement. That's right, no batteries needed just like our "Sophomore Collection" and "Yves Medley Women's Collection". With the "seconds" hand located at the "6" position, if you need to time something for whatever reason, you can easily look to that sub dial "seconds" hand and time it right away.
Like the rest of the Verdure pieces, you can wear these with anything. Jeans, a suit, a dress, whatever you want to pair it with, it will go perfectly with any attire. 

For this model I wanted to make a correlation with the Bible. Jesus said in Matthew 4:19 "And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." This also inspired the title of this collection, the "Lure Collection", and a lure is fishing bait used to attract the fish. As a believer in Christ, this is one of the main missions- to show the love of Jesus Christ to everyone that we come across, and being a great influence in this crazy world that we live in in order to bring glory to God and to "make fishers of men" by living according to the Word of God and proclaiming the name of Jesus in our every day lives. So along with the fishes in my fish tank, this too is what inspired the fish scale face of the watch. 
With all of my watches but especially this one, I would like for the wearer to truly think about what it is that they put their time to. In this day and age it is imperative to use your time wisely and to put it to things of meaning. For me personally I try to put my time to things that are pleasing to the Lord Jesus Christ. Spending time with loved ones, giving time and/or resources to someone in need, making some really nice watch designs for my great customers, anything like that lol.
But I really appreciate you for taking the time to read this and to see inside the mind of the designer of Verdure Watches, Yours Truly.
I hope you all have a blessed year and remember to make sure your time is "Time WEll Spent".

Signing Off,
Eddie J.

"When designing I try to keep in mind that I wouldn't want anyone buying something that I would not wear myself.  So with each design I put forth my best effort to give someone a watch that is aesthetically pleasing that can be worn with just about anything."
