Background: The concept of this product has been in the works for over three years. How can we showcase hockey history in a unique yet sophisticated manner? With this help of a watch craftsman we solved the puzzle on how to upcycle historic used hockey sticks into classic timepieces.
This limited edition watch is constructed using our oldest stick to the date, the 1957 Victoriaville Olympic, employed by famous NHLers and the public they inspired.
Why we chose this stick: For most of our sticks we chose a stick model to represent an iconic brand. This stick is no exception. Victoriaville was a wood stick powerhouse back in their day, owning around 65% of the NHL market at its peak. The Olympic stick was one of its first models, with the first being produced in the late 1940s, prior to the use of catalogues to sell their goods. This stick is one of our personal favorites and we were able to convert it into our first all wood watch design.
Limited Edition: Only 25 of this design are available for purchase based on the available wood material in the stick. Each watch is accompanied with a placard showing its place in the collection.
