What is Great Potential Farm Time Gages?
GPF is a small, independent horological enterprise, located on Great Potential Farm in Nelson, New Hampshire, that specializes in building unique, unusual and affordable time gages.
Dan Craici
is a self-taught artisan, now watchmaker of 5 years experience, currently studying horology at YTIU and experimenting with traditional and original techniques in making, modifying and decorating clocks and watches.
“GPF is a one man show, my duties ranging from that of lead designer to janitor, from servicing movements to customer support. I do the hand engraving, the assembly, the skeletonizations, sales, materials and tool acquisition, and everything else… Best of all, I get to do all the design work, sometimes in collaboration with customers or other artists.”
The GPF Complex
The newest addition to the GPF complex is a small atelier dedicated to watchmaking in the farm’s hay barn loft. Its a cozy, little place with excellent lighting where concentrated focus on furthering my craft is possible and enjoyable.
