Life, Rockets, and Crime
This last six months have shaken me to my very core. It’s not often that a company absconds with your things then attempts to extort you almost 6 months later to finally get your things. After all was said and done almost everything we received back (both my life belongings and the Raketa Watch Club studio) was largely either damaged or destroyed. The devastation and depression that follows that kind of event isn’t easy to describe. I went through periods where I slept on the floor (because they didn’t deliver my bed), didn’t eat, and didn’t wear a watch. In fact, I haven’t really worn a watch in the past two months. I have been so hamstrung by the happenings in my life that I’ve completely been away from my hobby, and my baby RWC. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a lot of response to the idea of RWC a year ago when we launched alongside the Malevich announcement so it’s just been me this whole time. The community has grown so much and I have identified some really high-quality users that I want to bring on board soon and I hope to have more to say in the future on that.
In addition to becoming operational again for the first time in almost 6 months, we’ve got a lot of ground to cover with the release of two new Raketa watches, new operational capabilities, gift sets, and plans for the future. This post comes with some updates alongside the good news that we’re back, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be back updating the site.
