Prescott
50 watches were made

This watch was
inspired by the five years I lived near Prescott, Arizona. Prescott
is truly the comfort zone for my spirit and the memory of life as it
is meant to be enjoyed. I found a place in the sun and a bed for my
dreams in Prescott. As a tribute to this special place I have
created my latest watch, the Prescott, to symbolize that life style.
My memories of the court house square and the ease of life on
Whiskey Row are fulfilled in this new watch. I chose a pure white
background for the dial, significant of the clean air and the
emotional purity I experienced in Prescott. The clarity of the pure
white dial contrasted by the precision of the black hands is a
statement of the reality of the Prescott environment. Prescott does
not crowd your thinking nor push you into a segmented world;
Prescott allows you the freedom to believe in the non-provable and
experience relationships without barriers. I chose using the Roman
numerals as opposed to the Arabic style, because of the influential
statue or that great empire. Prescott seemed to represent that Roman
dignity in miniature.
The Sun of Arizona is inspiration for the heat treated case of the
Prescott – called Sun-Blushed™.
The predictable mode of the Prescott is represented in the 26 jewel
automatic movement I chose for this symbol of accuracy. The
movement, the heart of the Prescott is adorned and embellished just
like the cultural influence of the Prescott natives and the
recognizable citizens of Yavapai County. The Prescott is unique to
watch making, a limited production, 50 pieces, each watch serial
numbered. It is not well known that d.freemont cares for each of his
customers personally. All sales are direct from the manufacturer,
dfreemont, to the end user, the customer… no middle men or dealers.
There is an additional significance in the name, Freemont… David
Freemont McCready is the creator of d.freemont watches. David’s
middle name comes from his maternal grandmother’s side of the family
– his middle name was spelled with two “e’s” by mistake on the birth
certificate – it should have been simply Fremont. Yes, he was named
after the famous John C. Freemont. Prescott has a memorial to John
C, just a few blocks west of Whiskey Row on Gurley Street, at the
Sharlot Hall Museum campus.
