LETEL: Exclusive collection

A watch does not only tell time these days, but in fact a precision instrument made up of hundreds of tiny parts.

Some basic steps of proper care, may ensure your precious watches functionality, appearance and reliable service, as you own it with joy and pleasure. One way or the other, oddly enough we encountered various issues, observed challenges as one can remember explaining. Presenting some of the common problems we attempt to offer the best picks for your solutions. It is fair to say that it is about being personable, competent, friendly and fair, as you look forward to Brand loyalty.

'What is wrong and how to care for your watch' - an expression many of us may have discovered with pleasant or not so pleasant situation, at times.

We felt it was important to shed some light on some of the most basic but confronted issues, apart from the technical aspects which we face in our daily lives.

1.The Case: The body that both holds and protects the watch movement. It's often made from one piece of metal and includes the lugs.

2.The Dial: Also known as the face, it displays the time with markings and subdials.

3.The Crystal: The covering that protects the dial. It's typically made of glass, plastic, or synthetic sapphire (i.e., crystallized aluminum oxide).

4.The Bezel: The outer ring that holds the crystal in place. Some functioning bezels (toothed for easy grip) rotate in one direction to allow divers to safely mark elapsed time.

5. The Pushers: The buttons used to start and stop the basic chronograph functions. The top pusher is typically used to start and stop the stopwatch function; the bottom pusher resets it to zero.

6. The Crown: Also known as the stem, it's often found at the 3:00 position and used to adjust the settings. With manual watches, the crown is sued to wind the mindspring.

7. The Batons: The rectangular bars affixed to a watch dial in place of numerals to mark the hours - also known as 'markers or index'.

8. The Subdials: Usually found on the dials of chronographs, these small circles are used to indicate elapsed time in varying measurements.


Brief guide to watch case materials :
Stainless Steel: The good: Lightweight affordable, and highly corrosion resistant. The bad: Prone to scratching.

Yellow Gold: The good: Holds a shine and, if you're so inclined, screams luxury. The bad: The purer the gold (i.e. the higher the karat), the softer the metal and the more prone it is to dents.

Rose Gold: The good: Rich, distinctive color created by adding copper to the gold. The more copper, the deeper the red tint. The bad: The red color tarnishes with time.

Titanium: The good: Lightweight and tough—about half the weight of steel but almost twice as strong. The bad: Difficult to work with, so it's expensive to repair.

Your Leather Band Stinks: You can't do much to clean it without ruining the leather. Try wiping the band with a little soap and water. But if the smell doesn't go away, it's time to replace the band.

You've Scratched or Cracked the Crystal: A crack or scratch in crystal can't be polished out, but you can get a new one for around $50 or more depending on quality and source. If the crystal is actually Lucite, a scratch can be polished out, but a crack will still require replacement.

You Got Your Watch Wet: Don't fret. If you paid more than $500 for it, there's a good chance it's water-resistant. Depending on the movement of course, it may cross well over $500 for an overhaul for a mechanical watch. (ref: esquire.com).

Now is it possible to avoid all surprise, issue or unexpected situations, should matters fail your watch at a point, with care chances are better for a longer time. 

There is a new but a different unique solution, where an opportunity presents itself to select what works for your lifestyle, need, like, want, and desire.

Laura Colgan and the spirit of excellence !

Born in Raleigh, North Carolina, Laura Colgan- a brave woman whose passion for self-expression tells an inspirational story- began her journey not knowing where it would take her. Unlike many who are afraid of taking risks, Laura Colgan took risks and discovered that self-expression, especially the kind that flaunts ones uniqueness, actually brings much joy, and is very fulfilling.

Entering high school, she had the option to either pursue sports or modeling, and she chose sports. Her excellent performance throughout all four years in the program eventually earned her a college scholarship for a volley ball program. After two years in the program, she realized that her interests have changed and that she wanted to pursue career in the modeling industry. She auditioned with many agencies and eventually landed a job, yet her heart was not set in place. Excited, she immediately enrolled in several modeling and acting classes. Her ultimate aim was to do her best, so that one day she would become a prominent model in the industry; where an example for glamour, can reflect within as she had yet to discover her passion.

Over time and challenging moments that helped shape both her personal life and modeling career, she eventually recognized her personal unique approach modeling from a different angle. She could not come to terms with the idea that an individual’s worthiness is dictated by a measurement on a scale: a lesser weight signifying that they’re worthy; a greater weight signifying that they’re not - surely there is more. She became aware that this industry has so many beautiful, strong, confident and amazing attractive ladies, all of whom sometimes are not fortunate to draw media's attention to flourish in the lime light. Instead, idealizes those that are typically made of a model trait.

Considering Laura's natural aura of beauty within, pleasant warm personality, a beautiful women and a radiant smile bright enough to lift a heart, she carried on to exceed her expectations. She began to study, research and worked hard followed by a strict regimen making sure to accentuate her physique. Within a few months she rose to the occasion, being a healthy gym and love running person like many spectacular individuals; she finds that it relieves stress.

She wanted to be a light to those who lived in the shadows, a voice for those who have yet to find theirs, a bridge that allows narrow minded, traditional opinions to be stretched beyond their capacity to the point where the stubborn walls either shatter under the pressure or bend and welcome the change, and an inspiration for lovely ladies and dashing gentlemen of all ages to be confident in their own skin and own their body and all its perfect imperfections. Even though easily agreed or said than done, there is no scale to live up to when you are a natural.

Commonly approached, a fact remains that society shouldn't dictate whether or not someone is skinny enough, beautiful enough, tall enough, strong enough, etc. Each individual should accept who they are, should express themselves freely, without fear or intimidation. And each individual should flaunt their uniqueness and be proud of it.



As a result of such a positive powerful natural gift, Laura's importance of expressing oneself and one’s uniqueness grew further, as she embarked upon an interest in letters. Letters, she believed, are magical symbols of expression and inspiration. Each individual values the first letter of their name, with some wearing it on a necklace, while others wear it on bracelet. Letters, she believed are powerful. It’s no wonder, they have taken focus of the this strong industry in a short while: Letel.

After becoming acquainted with Letel's Partner from Uber digital Luxury, the company’s distinct designs and the goals of this unique brand for tomorrow, excited her to explore the Brand. Who has taken intricate steps for Women's bespoke timepieces, along with Men who are predominantly the big fans for Watches. To her surprise, she discovered that each individual has their own distinct personality and it can shine through any uniquely chosen body adornment such as a watch, a bracelet, a ring or the like thereof. Most importantly, Laura was impressed and thrilled to hear of Letel's partnership with New York Women's ensemble (a non-profit organization for Women), in addition to sharing a common interest: doing good works to help the less advantaged members of society.

Discovering the powerful message LETEL inspires, Laura Colgan joined this journey of excellence with Letel to express herself. Life changing experience undoubtedly taught her a valuable truth. In Laura’s words, “let us all be the change we want to see in the world. Let us all welcome this change with open hearts and acceptance of both diversity and the beauty in the imperfections.” With an admiring standpoint, her powerful gesture to inspire other women regardless of the challenges anyone faced, attempting to make a difference empowers LETEL; resonating from an inevitable source of dedicated excellence and success.

The Unstoppable - Letel & Rashad Butler !

Rashad Butler.

Rashad Butler, the all American offensive football tackler for the Cleveland Browns, was one of the strongest inspiration for Christopher Durrell, the co-founder of Letel, to further develop the company’s lettered watch designs, each of which symbolizes success.

At an early age, Rashad recognized the importance of perseverance, witnessing that without perseverance, goals are hardly ever achieved. His adulthood encounters, one of which took place in 2006, the year when the Carolina Panthers drafted him, magnified his vision of wanting to become a famous and inspirational football player.

Impressed with his bulkiness and ideal weight, the Carolina Panthers were delighted as Rashad joined the team. Thrilled, he envisioned that the opportunity would allow him another step forward to reach an even greater depth in his football career. Shortly after being appointed, he began to lose weight, and eventually got disqualified; this, however, did not stop him from thriving to succeed.

In 2007, he signed with the Houston Texans, anticipating that this year would be different from the previous one in that he would sustain his professional career going forward. A few weeks after he signed with the Texans, however, he discovered that he suffered from ulcerative colitis, a chronic medical condition which prevented him from bulking up. Difficult to diagnose, ulcerative colitis never stopped him from being determined to move forward. He searched for a diagnosis among the medical community and was fortunate to find an effective one, eventually re-gaining his weight and ability to bulk up.  Even though his condition did not affect his status on the team, he preferred to renounce his position to take a break from his profession, believing that this course of action would be in his best interest.

In 2013, he signed with the Cleveland Browns, and he continues to be a dedicated team member whose talents and skills are highly recognized.

Rashad’s passion to thrive and a will to stand up again and again against any and all circumstantial challenges was never ending, yet very persistent - in order to succeed at actualizing his dream of becoming a famous and inspirational football player was what inspired Christopher Durrel. Letel, which focuses on the design of unique bespoke custom made time pieces that are the first of their kind in the watch industry, has yet to reveal some of the most appealing precious time pieces. 

Both Rashad Butler and Christopher Durrell share a common belief and a drive: perseverance is the key to success. While Rashad demonstrates this belief in his encounters, Christopher demonstrates this belief by a bespoke unique concept which is a rewarding signature of success, a symbol of achievement and prestige.

In a time where an industry is highly competitive cultivating with new idea and advanced technology, Christopher embarked upon an intricate new concept of the 1st custom made watch. Christopher partnered with Uber digital Luxury brand management company developing its designs to cater to customers that are searching for a unique and valuable item that accentuates not only their personality but a signature to their name. Similarly, Rashad and Letel connects to this challenge moving forward without any known boundaries or barriers.  

After having met with the Christopher, Rashad expressed his interest in the philosophy behind Letel’s uniquely designed watches, and his appreciation for Christopher’s interest in his dedication.

Rashad owns his own customized watch that bears an 'R' which of course resonates his name. He wears it as a symbol of thriving force of victory. Letel is a proud and dedicated Timekeeper of such an unstoppable force of success and powerful determination.
