These watches are based on vintage classics and remade by a young man in New York’s favorite borough, Brooklyn. The designer, David Sokosh, slaps a huge Unitas movement into new cases and then pops on new hands and a face. He sells some of them at Brooklyn Flea and a few online, but obviously these are limited editions. They range from $400 to $1,200.

Handsome? Check. Unique? Check. Clever? Check. I’m kind of sold.
