The Skunklex Classic — gold case, black dial, one white stripe

A McSkunk house · the house of hands · nothing digital past this door

Skunklex

Old style. Still-hand movement. Gold case, black enamel dial, one white stripe through the middle of time itself. The detail starts where Rolex stops and keeps walking — hand-finished bevels, a small-seconds you could read by candlelight, and not one battery in the building.

"If you don't wear a Skunklex, you ain't sh*t."

— the founder, verbatim, and he stands by it

Skunklex Calibre One — hand-finished movement

Through the exhibition back

Calibre One

Gold bridges striped by hand, black-polished screws, a rotor engraved like a courthouse door. Every movement assembled, regulated, and signed by one watchmaker — the same skunk, start to finish, name on the caseback. Series One runs SKX-0001 through SKX-0088, numbered and sealed, and when the series retires, it retires on the record.

The footnote · sold around back

Yes, there's a Skunklex Smart.

We built it because the world asked. It counts your steps, takes your calls, glows in the dark, does everything but respect itself. The founder has never worn one and never will — "it'll be for, you know, whatever." It ships in a plain box, sold around back, and it is not permitted in the same display case as Calibre One. House law.

Skunklex, Calibre One and the one-stripe dial are original McSkunkville works · concept line, waitlist only. Fiction & commerce, honestly labeled. © 2026 David McDermott · Law Skunk™ · Registry SKM-010 · All Rights Reserved.
