A few gems to share from Geneva this week. Independents only…😉
Getting to see these makers and their watches is always a great pleasure. It is after all, the people behind them that make so much of a reason for me as to why I find the pieces compelling. Enjoy! HAGWE all, Cheers, Tim ...
Wowza!
I was about to say, "I really like this one" but then I just kept paging down and there was just too much! (I still really like the Raul Pages though)
Sorry for the overload😜
Raúl’s work is amazing. Truly inspirational artisanal watchmaking. Figuring out how to do the Detent escapement in a wristwatch is extremely difficult. His execution is simply lovely. Cheers!
The new Classic is kinda crazy but it seems to work.
Was that your impression in person? There is a lot going on but in the end it seems coherent.
It’s Vianney all over. I love the case execution.
If one likes Art Deco, it’s for you. It is “less busy” in person. I prefer the slightly smaller size and caliber choice of the original, but then again I’m biased, as an owner. This 40mm Ti case wears also my too big with the lugs. The original 36mm with ...

Not the most complicated….. but I’ll take the Christian Lass
Definitely the most rare and most of all I appreciate the fact that 1 guy makes it and not a small factory wit a few dozen watchmakers Buy a Lass and you know he made it…. And his wife did the engraving
One guy designed it, however…
Christian has 2 employees helping him with the production of parts. He assembles, regulates and certainly does the final QC. He’s the real deal. A top level independent watchmaker for sure. Cheers!
Thank you for sharing!
I can stare at the breguet numerals on the VOUTILAINEN for a long time. It’s out of this world.
Big Thanks Tim for the awesome Independents update
Some lovely pieces as always, what is your top 3? S
Mmmm, I always find that question tricky…
1. Raúl Pages-original Régulateur à détente RP1 2. Sylvain Pinaud- Origine, the Only Watch version. 3. Christian Lass- 30CP Really tough to exclude KV, there were two Vingt-8 I loved, so as back up… Cheers, Tim ...
