The name comes from my father’s last acrobatic plane. The one in which he decided it would be character-building to let me fly.

This watch is what happens when you mix mild terror, mechanical sympathy, and unresolved admiration into stainless steel and call it a chronograph.

A one-off longboard made from a recycled snowboard, hand-cut with questionable judgment. Slightly crooked, surprisingly smooth, and fully rideable. Built with Paris V3 trucks, Cadillac Cruiser wheels, and ABEC 7 bearings.

A recycled snowboard that discovered wheels, purpose, and a mild identity crisis. Hand-cut, slightly crooked, and entirely unconcerned with your expectations of perfection.

Let’s make something.

A good place for unfinished ideas.

Raccoonsthaus brings together watch design, independent objects and experiments that deserve to leave the drawer.
