Custom One-of-a-Kind Watch
A Custom One-of-a-Kind Watch has been donated by Montana Watch Company. Imagine commemorating your favorite trophy on a hand-engraved, custom timepiece designed by you. This one-of-a-kind, piece of functional art will serve as a true reflection of your distinctive taste; your vision brought to life by the Montana Watch Company. Begin by selecting your favorite of ten different Montana Watch models in either sterling silver or stainless steel, and then have the bezel hand-engraved in the style of your choice. Next, choose your image (art work or photograph), or work with the Montana Watch team to create custom artwork to be hand-engraved on a silver dial. Your watch will be further embellished with custom gold dial markers, and an American made, leather strap finished with a buckle to match the case.
