    Islander “Artica”
    The dial reminds me of icebergs floating in the Arctic blue sea 🌊
    The red seconds hand looks like a compass hand, pointing to true north in the Arctic 🧭
    The polished silver bracelet gives that Ice vibe to the watch ❄️

    “The Compass”

    "Shellback" - name given to sailors who have crossed the equator. The red hand on the blue & white background gives me vibes of navigating the globe. The equatorial line crossing ceremony where the term Shellback normally is mentioned is pretty interesting too, could have a cool tie in. And of course if you make a 38mm version it needs to be called "Pollywog" (someone who has not yet crossed the equator).

    Hi Mark,
    'Summer Blue'
    that's simple and suggests the bright blue days of Summer and the sun's silvery glinting off the surface of water; red hand of action speaks to adventurous activity.

    Since you’re on Long Island I thought it would be fun to name this, and future limited releases, after features of Long Island. I’m not familiar with the area but here are some ideas I pulled off Google Maps:
    - Oyster Bay
    - Long Beach
    - Hampton / Hampton Bay
    - South Shore
    - North Shore
    - Montauk / Montauk Point (with lighthouse engraving)

    The Brashear - after the badass US Navy Sailor Carl Brashear who was the first African-American to attend and graduate from the U.S. Navy Diving & Salvage school and the first African-American U.S. Navy Diver. He trained on the East Coast (NJ & RI) and escorted Eisenhower's presidential yacht. He lost his leg, persisted anyways and became the first amputee diver to be recertified as a U.S. Navy diver, later becoming the first African-American U.S. Navy master diver.
    He had a movie made after him, Men of Honor.
    One of his apparent beliefs/sayings was "I ain't going to let nobody steal my dream."
    All in all - a badass diver watch named after a badass diver that is created by someone who is not letting anyone steal the dream of creating and selling fantastic watches.
    The Brashear.

    I would name the watch after one of New York’s most famous beaches. As the watch has a summertime vibe to it. And being from a New York based brand, naming it after a famous New York beach or summertime playground makes a lot of sense. You can also name many of your most popular models after famous New York places too. Again, Islander is from New York, makes sense too name some with names of New York places. The Empire State is just another example .As soon as I can afford it I plan on buying one of your ISL-18 as it is a very beautiful piece. Well done Mark.

    Call it “The Gatsby” as parts of that took place in long island and the great gatsby signifies gentrification and high class which the gorgeous watch does as well. The blue dial of the watch matches the significance of the bespectacled blue eyes on the billboard! I think “The Gatsby” would be an amazing and proper name! Cheers

    I am a Canadian but I think it should be named something patriotic for America. The US is so divided and is such a great nation, and some need to be reminded and nothing better than wear something that represents that pride. I suggest the name be THE AMERICAN. It has the red hand and the blue dial and the custom back could be an eagle or the US flag. Even if you don't pick my name you should do something patriotic on the watch. The world needs a strong USA. Anyways much love from a Canadian

    Long Island Apollo. The color scheme of the watch matches that of NASA! Also, I think the grey embossed logo is consistent with the space theme. Most importantly, the space theme alludes to your previous career as an aerospace engineer. 😏🚀

    "Friday". For many reasons, the Islander connection is evident, after Defoe's novel. It has the casual feeling that friday as a calendar day bears, also rhymes with the notion that it is a piece of equipment that keeps the wearer sane towards the end of the week. Somewhat like Friday did with Crusoe. Also, it has day date, so perfect for a stranded person.

    "Red sky at night, sailors delight." - from the old nautical saying. Could work as "Red Sky," for short.
    "When we see a red sky at night, this means that the setting sun is sending its light through a high concentration of dust particles. This usually indicates high pressure and stable air coming in from the west. Basically good weather will follow." -- Library of Congress
    Seems apt for the ISL-18. Thanks, Marc!

    The Islander Void. Why? Because you can stare at its dial and it will stare back. And yes its a diver but for me with the silver bezel and red seconds it evoques deep space exploration also. its like a mini dark blue (black) hole viewed from a sturdy metal casing. Plus, the void and emptiness concept is vaguely close to the islander brand name:think isolated or exploring a newfound land.

    Name it "Doria". So it will still have a legacy of Long Island and connected to diving since it is a diver watch. Long Island is famous for its technical diving, or diving that ventures into waters beyond the recreational limit of 130 feet. The Andrea Doria, sometimes known as "The Mount Everest of Wreck Diving," lies in the area below over 200 feet of water. SS Andrea Doria, was an ocean liner for the Italian Line home-ported in Genoa, Italy, known for her sinking in 1956. Named after the 16th-century Genoese admiral Andrea Doria.

    "The Montauk" You get to incorporate one of the most iconic seaside locations of Long Island, and can laser etch the phrase "The End of the World" on the case back. Possibly add the lighthouse over the water as an added detail on the case back as well. The lighthouse also has that iconic RED paint that can be the inspiration for the seconds hand, while the WHITE hours and minutes hands can serve as the other paint on the lighthouse. You also incorporate the beautiful BLUE sunburst dial that can represent the sun shining on the Atlantic. All of these suggestions tie in the diver aspect of the watch and its origins.

    "The Cretan" It's got blue, red and white like the flag of Crete 100 years ago. It's also an island in the Mediterranean. There's also some incredible places to go diving in Crete too. Or the Cretan Cove
