OCEANA BLUE
I’m back at the ocean, I love it. Riding my bike along the coastline. The ocean has this magnetic pull on me. I can simply stare at it and get lost. Time stops. The world around me melts away.
Today, I’m heading South to my favorite place. Speed of my bike, taste of the ocean, and the color blue — oh, the blue. Everywhere I look, it’s blue. The color blue is woven into my life in so many ways. The ocean I love, the clear blue sky I yearn for, the denim I design. Blue does something to me that no other color can.
CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT ALL
Today, the blue is deeper, brighter, more intense. It’s in everything I see, stretching in every direction.
This place, the highway, the coastline, my sanctuary. I always come back to it, the ocean magnified by the mountains. The blues of the ocean and sky dancing with each other, and I’m caught in the middle of it all.
Calm, provoked, peacefulness shaking hands with intensity, I love it, I’m really in it, immersed in the moment. I can taste the salt in the air, feel the power of the ocean all around me. I’m surrounded by mother nature’s kaleidoscope of blues.

LIFE’S WEB
I pull to the side of the Pacific Coast Highway. It's like I’ve found heaven right here. As I sit on my bike, staring at the magnificence of the ocean, I glance down at my Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 TOP GUN Oceana, blue is everywhere, I smile, everything in my life is interconnected.
What I love, what I design, what I dream of — it’s all linked by the profoundness of the color blue. As I sit by the ocean on my bike, embraced by the endless blue.
A Journey With My IWC Oceana Watch
Freedom tugging at my soul, nature pulling me, the ocean’s blues, my timepiece ticking reminding me, life is precious, unrestrained, unyielding.
Colors, textures, the ocean, the sky, my forever love, the Pacific colliding with the mountains.
Adventure, design, entangled in indigo, denim, a journey from the west coast to Japan, a collision, adventure, fabrics, and design.
Everything is wildly connected, my life’s symphony of chaos and harmony, the opposites are unwavering companions.
My heart’s at home in this unending journey. It’s time to set off once more, my IWC Oceana watch a reminder of the wild beauty of life’s adventure.
