SUMMARY:Keynote Address
DESCRIPTION:Ian Schon of Schon Horology addresses the 2018 TimeCon. \nIan graduated from Boston University in 2012 with a degree in mechanical and manufacturing engineering. Prior to entering the world of horology he was a Senior Product Designer at IDEO in Cambridge\, MA and ran his pen company Schon DSGN. \nIan’s start in industrial manufacturing magnified his affinity for high quality products. This year he launched Schon Horology with watches featuring Swiss movements and cases\, dials\, and hands made in his New England workshop. \n The introductory watch model\, The Dot\, is a reasonable 38mm which fits comfortably on a 6″ wrist but is large enough not to look out of place on ordinary 7-8″ wrists as well. The Dot will be available in a limited run of 100 watches each with a NOS Doxa Swiss made movement. The movements are completely refurbished and installed in the cases which are manufactured in the United States. \nThe Dial\, Hands\, and case are all hand finished in Ian’s studio and are made to order so some customization is available. \nCheck out more at www.schonhorology.com
