40th Anniversary Logo—National Watch & Clock Museum
Forty years of existence is an important milestone. I should know because I am the same age as the Museum! The significance that I designed a logo for The National Watch & Clock Museum's 40th anniversary was noteworthy to me.
Custom-made by RGM Watch Co., this watch was presented at the National Watch & Clock Museum’s 40th Anniversary. It went up for auction on eBay and sold for over $4,000. The funds went to aid the Museum’s mission to preserve the art, science, history, and technology of time and timekeeping.
With the NAWCC's logo on the dial and the custom-etched 40th Anniversary logo on the exhibition case, this watch will excite any wristwatch enthusiast but especially devotees of the NAWCC, the Museum, and RGM Watch Co.

I designed, laid out, illustrated the covers, and did the majority of the photography of these full-color, 30-page books. These guidebooks explain the different exhibits found throughout the museum and run sponsored advertisements. View the flipbook.
Great design isn't easy. It takes dedication, late nights, hours of research, and bacon... Bacon makes everything great.
