Hey, everyone! Today, I wanna talk about something a bit different that I got into recently – ceramic watches from Online Ceramics. Now, I heard about this brand a while back, they are known for their cool, hand-dyed clothing designs, often with a nod to the Grateful Dead, very unique style.
So, I started digging into this whole Online Ceramics world. Found out it was started by Alix Ross and Elijah Funk in 2016. They are based in Los Angeles, specifically at 1500 S. Central Avenue. I was already planning to go to LA for vacation, so why not check out this store in person? And it turns out they have been in the business for about eight years now. But recently I learned that they are going their separate ways.
Their last project together is this coffee table book with A24, which, from what I gather, is a pretty big deal. It is like a retrospective of all their creative work together. I browsed through their website and many other online shops, I was genuinely impressed by the variety and creativity. They have got everything – clothing, accessories, and these ceramic watches that caught my eye. Prices vary a lot, you know, you can find stuff under $50, but some items go for over $200.
- First step: I did some research. Online Ceramics, cool brand, tie-dye, Grateful Dead vibes, based in LA.
- Next: I planned a trip to their store since I was going to LA anyway.
- Then: I checked out a bunch of online shops to see their range.
I decided to go for one of their ceramic watches. I found a few that I liked, and after a bit of back and forth, I made my choice. Paid for it, got the confirmation, and the waiting game began. They promised a 2-day shipping, which was pretty sweet, and guess what? They actually delivered on time!
- Decision time: Picked a watch I liked.
- Purchase: Bought it online.
- Delivery: Got it in 2 days, just as they said.
When I finally got my hands on the watch, it was quite lightweight. The design was exactly as I expected, and I have to say, it felt pretty good on my wrist. And it was the real deal, just as advertised.
So, that’s my little adventure with Online Ceramics and their watches. It was a fun experience, from learning about the brand to actually getting the watch. And the best part? I had a nice online shopping experience, which, let’s be honest, isn’t always the case.
Here are my final thoughts:
- The Brand: Online Ceramics is legit, even though the founders are splitting. Their stuff is unique.
- The Watch: It is light, looks great, and feels good to wear.
- Overall Experience: Smooth, from browsing to buying to getting it delivered.
That’s all for now, folks! Hope you enjoyed this little story of mine. If you are ever in LA or looking for something different in a watch, maybe check out Online Ceramics. Who knows, you might find something you love just like I did.
