Nick Mankey Designs Custom Durable Goods & Design Services Anything less than original can be found elsewhere.

To create, not regurgitate; Following a war-torn path of trial and error, Nick takes on a very personal responsibility to push the role of leather goods and graphic design in the modern world. At a time in society when "ending rather than mending" seems to be the main theme of our material culture, Nick also believes that life is best lived when you can count on thoughtfully handcrafted items to e

ndure the hardships of life at least as long as you do. From years in the Graphic Design industry come the materialization of physical goods. When doing neither of these things, Nick is usually out riding his Triumph Scrambler.

Hard to believe this was just 4 weeks ago! An incredible time with incredible people. The in-person feedback continues to be one of the most effective ways for me to focus on specific areas of improvement, additions, clarifications, and emphasis on future developments!

Thanks to those that stopped by and provided such guidance. Until next time, have a great weekend, folks ✌️

Which did you grab and what are you pairing it with?!

Fresh from Q-branch: Earn the [order] number this Monday, June 1st when pre-orders for my first ever Pro Bond straps hit the Lab!

Chrono-Grips and Hook Straps will both be available, and I hope to leave these open (with a limited quantity for each model) for two weeks. 18, 20, 22, 24, 26mm widths included!

All at a discounted rate; Sale included in pricing.

Also just wanted to mention how much fun it was to, albeit begrudgingly, try out some AI magic to bring my otherwise flat designs to life. Light sources are not my specialty, but man do they make the difference!

Which model are you looking to take into the field? 🫡🇬🇧

While we may have prepped a ton of straps to sell at WindUp, about 120 pre-made Chrono-Grip straps remain!

A mix of the most popular colorways in both Standard and XL Single Pass (aka Medium Zero Pass) will be dropping into the shop tomorrow May 15 at 1200 PDT.

I will also be including an automatic discount of 15% off all pre-made items.

My excessive labor is your gain. 😁

See you there! ✌️

And that's a wrap for ! On paper, the prospect of manning a stationary booth for 6 hours a day might sound daunting. But not for one moment was that my reality; and I have many of you to thank for that! Passion and enthusiasm never tires or exhausts- in fact, I find that it's had the opposite effect; I feel more charged up than ever to keep doing what I do. 🙌

For now it's back to delivering on all the new orders that came in over the weekend. But stay tuned for future drops and developments!

Cheers 🍻

Day 2 was a whirlwind of activity here at my analog Strap Lab display for the ! This instant virtual color try-on system has proven to be a priceless aid in trying out different schemes on the fly.

Looking forward to the finale today! Hope to see some more of you and your watches 😁
