In a world full of noise, behold the genius of Silent Brainstorms! This new Redbubble collection flips the script, capturing the chaotic yet serene realm of introverted thinkers. Picture this: someone sitting still, looking like they’re doing nothing, while inside, their brain is throwing a raucous party! From funny stickers to exploding brain art, it’s all about the magic that happens in silence. This collection celebrates the unsung heroes of creativity — the quiet ones who think before they speak and work wonders behind the scenes. So, grab a shirt or sticker and embrace your inner silent genius!
Some of the most powerful ideas don’t announce themselves.
They don’t arrive in meetings. They don’t shout over Slack notifications. They don’t always come with words at all.
They happen quietly — internally — where creativity, logic, imagination, and problem-solving collide.
That insight became the foundation for our newest Redbubble collection: Silent Brainstorms.
The Idea Behind the Collection
We’ve all seen it — or lived it.
Someone sitting quietly at their desk. Minimal movement. No dramatic gestures. And yet… inside their mind? Absolute chaos.
Lightbulbs flick on. Gears start turning. Ideas spark, collide, launch, and evolve.
Silent Brainstorms is a visual exploration of that moment — the contrast between a calm exterior and an intensely active inner world. Each design captures a different flavor of thinking: humorous, philosophical, colorful, explosive, or quietly focused.
Because creativity doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful.
Why This Resonates (Especially Now)
In a world that often rewards noise, speed, and constant output, quiet thinkers can be underestimated.
But designers, developers, writers, engineers, strategists, artists, and introverts know the truth:
Some of the best work happens in silence.
This collection is for:
People who think before they speak
Creatives whose minds never really shut off
Professionals who do their best work internally
Anyone who has ever been “quiet” and deeply productive at the same time
It’s humor, self-awareness, and identity — wrapped into bold, expressive artwork.
From Minimal to Maximum Brain Explosion
The Silent Brainstorms collection spans a range of visual styles:
Clean, funny sticker-first designs
Philosophical, silhouette-based illustrations
Expressive typography
Full-color “brain explosion” moments that feel cinematic and joyful
Whether you prefer subtle humor or vibrant creative chaos, there’s a piece that speaks your language — quietly.
Time to gear up for some clock-tastic art! Introducing “Horology Is In My DNA,” a design collection that marries watchmaking with a gorgeous double helix made of vintage watch parts. Think of it as DNA evolving into gears instead of humans—much less messy! Each design features bold metallics, sleek outlines, and everything a mechanical junkie could dream of. Perfect for watchmakers, vintage fans, or anyone who believes that time is more than just numbers. So, if you’re ready to wear art that tells time (and jokes), head to Redbubble and let your inner horology enthusiast shine! Tick-tock, let’s rock!
🌀 There’s a beautiful collision between art, engineering, and timekeeping, and it’s ticking louder than ever.
I’m thrilled to unveil my latest design collection: 🎨 “Horology Is In My DNA” — now available on Redbubble. It’s a visually striking tribute to the timeless beauty of watchmaking, reimagined through a DNA double helix built entirely from vintage mechanical watch parts.
🔧 What Is It?
This series transforms the DNA helix into a coiled, gear-filled structure of springs, crowns, bezels, Roman numerals, and vintage dials — the very essence of mechanical horology.
Each design is created with:
Dimensional 3D illustration style
Bold metallic highlights
Clean sticker-style outlines
Watchmaking soul from top to bottom
They’re print-ready, detail-packed, and made for those who live and breathe time.

Here’s the problem: You walk into a watch store (or open Amazon), and you’re hit with 10,000 options. G-Shock alone has hundreds of models. How do you choose?
Most people either spend hours researching or impulse-buy the wrong watch. Then it sits in a drawer, unworn.
I built something to fix this.
The Watch Advisor: Your Personal Watch Consultant (Free, 60 Seconds)
I created a tool called the Watch Advisor that asks you four simple questions:
1.What’s your budget? (Under $100 to $2,000+)
2.What’s your style? (Sport, dress, military, dive, etc.)
3.What’s your lifestyle? (Fitness, outdoor adventures, formal events, everyday wear)
4.What features matter most? (Water resistance, solar power, shock resistance, etc.)
In 60 seconds, you get personalized watch recommendations tailored exactly to your needs. No more guessing. No more buyer’s remorse.
Each recommendation includes:
•Amazon ratings and reviews from real buyers
•Key features that match your lifestyle
•Direct links to buy on Amazon (with Prime shipping)
•Social proof showing how many people bought each model
The best part? It’s completely free. No signup required. Just answer four questions and get your matches.
But Wait, There’s More: Watch of the Week
Every week, I feature a standout watch with a deep dive into why it’s special. This week’s pick? The G-Shock GA2100-1A1 “CasiOak” – the minimalist icon that’s taking over Instagram.
You’ll find:
•Expert analysis of design, durability, and value
•Real user ratings (this one’s 4.8★ from 2,156 verified buyers)
•Styling tips for different occasions
•Direct Amazon links to snag the best deals
And Yes, There’s Merch Too
Here’s where it gets fun. If you’re a watch enthusiast like me, you don’t just wear watches – you live the lifestyle.
That’s why I partnered with RedBubble to bring you exclusive Legend Born 1983 merch:
The vibe? Minimalist tribute to the original 1983 G-Shock – the watch that redefined durability and style.
What’s available:
•T-shirts and hoodies with iconic G-Shock-inspired designs
•Stickers for your laptop, water bottle, or toolbox
•Mugs for your morning coffee (because even your caffeine should have style)
•Posters and prints for your home office or garage
Every design captures that retro-tech aesthetic that made the G-Shock legendary. Perfect for:
•Watch collectors who want to rep their passion
•Retro tech fans who appreciate 80s design
•Anyone who values durability and timeless style
Shop the collection:
•RedBubble Store – Fast shipping, premium quality
•Also Check out my Etsy Shop – Unique handmade items and custom options
I’ve been obsessed with watches since I was a kid. The 1983 G-Shock was the first watch that made me realize a timepiece could be both functional and iconic.
But I noticed a problem: people struggle to find the right watch. There’s too much choice, too much noise, and not enough guidance.
So I built Legend Born 1983 as a one-stop destination for:
1.Finding your perfect watch (Watch Advisor)
2.Discovering weekly deals (Watch of the Week)
3.Repping the lifestyle (Merch on RedBubble & Etsy)
•What features matter most to you? (Water resistance? Solar power? Style?)
•Have you ever bought the “wrong” watch and regretted it?
I read every comment and love talking watches with fellow enthusiasts.
And if you try the Watch Advisor, let me know what it recommended for you! I’m always curious to see how the algorithm matches people with their perfect watch.
P.S. If you’re in the market for a new watch (or know someone who is), the Watch Advisor is the fastest way to cut through the noise and find your perfect match. No sales pitch. Just honest recommendations based on what you actually need.
Watches & More just hit the big 100 sales on Etsy, and it’s not just about the numbers—it’s all about the love! Our friendly neighborhood watch enthusiast has poured their heart (and many late nights) into crafting artworks that blend horology with creativity. Think minimalist watch illustrations and nostalgic posters that even your grandfather might approve of. So thank you to everyone who made this milestone possible! More quirky designs are on the horizon, along with a promise to keep the watch-loving community wrist-deep in style. Time to celebrate—just don’t forget the cake isn’t a watch!
Reaching a milestone as a small creator is never just about numbers — it’s about people. Today, I’m incredibly proud (and honestly humbled) to share that Watches & More has officially surpassed 100 sales on Etsy!
This milestone represents more than transactions. It represents trust, passion, creativity, and the incredible community that has supported my shop since day one. Whether you purchased a design, favorited an item, shared a listing, or simply stopped by the shop out of curiosity — you helped make this moment possible. And for that, I genuinely thank you.
⭐ The Story Behind Watches & More
Watches & More began as a natural extension of my lifelong passion for horology. From the tough-as-nails G-Shocks to the elegance of Swiss automatics, I’ve always believed watches are more than machines — they’re stories we wear.
I wanted a place where those stories could transform into art:
Minimalist watch illustrations
Tribute pieces to iconic references
Retro-styled posters
T-shirts, stickers, and décor that celebrate watch culture
Every design is meant to capture the spirit, engineering, and emotion behind these timekeeping legends.
What started as a small creative project has gradually grown into a full catalog of designs for collectors, enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates the craft of watchmaking.
🎉 Reaching 100 Sales — Why It Matters
Reaching 100 sales is a powerful reminder of every late-night design session, every revision, every experiment, and every ounce of passion poured into this shop.
But the real magic? It’s knowing that 100 of you chose something I created to be part of your space, your outfit, your collection, or your gift to someone special.
That’s what makes this milestone meaningful.
This 100-sale mark tells me:
✔ The community is growing
✔ The designs resonate
✔ People feel connected to the watch-inspired artwork
✔ And the vision for this shop has a future worth building
⌚ Watch Culture Meets Creativity
The goal of this shop has always been to stand at the intersection of horology and art.
That means:
Designs inspired by legendary references like the G-Shock 5600, Seiko SKX, classic field watches, pilot watches, and more
Pieces that watch lovers instantly recognize — but anyone can appreciate
Artwork that respects the spirit of each timepiece without copying trademarked elements
A growing collection that evolves with the watch community itself
Watches bring people together — collectors, engineers, artists, hobbyists — and I’ve always wanted this shop to reflect that spirit.
💼 What’s Next for the Shop?
Hitting 100 sales is energizing — and it’s only the beginning.
Here’s what’s coming next:
🔧 New Watch-Themed Artwork
Expect:
More technical-style illustrations
Vintage poster aesthetics
Bold tribute designs
Minimalist dial-focused art
New collections themed around diver, field, digital, and aviation watches
🌐 Expanded presence on social media & WordPress
More articles, more behind-the-scenes content, and more watch-centric conversations.
And of course…
🧡 More milestones to celebrate — together.
🙏 A Genuine Thank You
From the bottom of my heart — thank you for helping Watches & More reach 100 Etsy sales.
Thank you for supporting a small creator. Thank you for loving watch culture. Thank you for being part of this journey.

Are you a watch enthusiast, a collector, or just looking for the perfect timepiece that balances exceptional value and timeless style?
At WatchesAndMore Design Studio, we know the world of watches can be overwhelming. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the launch of our brand-new section: Watch of the Week!
What is “Watch of the Week”?
Every week, our team of horology experts hand-selects one timepiece that stands out for its quality, heritage, and, most importantly, its value proposition. This isn’t just a random pick; it’s a deep dive into a watch that deserves a spot on your wrist or in your collection.
We cut through the noise to bring you a single, compelling recommendation, complete with a detailed breakdown of why we love it, its key features, and where you can find the best deal.
This Week’s Spotlight: The Seiko 5 Sports SRPD55
To kick things off, we’re featuring a modern legend: the Seiko 5 Sports SRPD55.
•The Heritage: It’s the worthy successor to the iconic SKX007, one of the most beloved dive watches ever made.
•The Upgrade: It features Seiko’s upgraded 4R36 automatic movement, which includes manual winding and hacking seconds—a significant step up from its predecessor.
•The Value: Currently available for 21% OFF at just $275, it represents arguably the best value in automatic dive watches on the market today.
We love the SRPD55 because it perfectly blends the legendary dive watch DNA with modern finishing and an improved movement, all while maintaining that classic tool-watch aesthetic. It’s the perfect first automatic watch and a true heir to an icon.
