AuHavrePro's original post captures a compelling moment where natural light dramatically highlights a watch dial, sparking a discussion about the interplay of light and horological aesthetics. This thread delves into the unique customization options offered by independent watchmakers and the impact of strap choices on a watch's overall presentation. AuHavrePro's experience with selecting specific meteorite patterns and colors underscores the personalized journey available to collectors in the independent watchmaking sphere.

From yesterday afternoon. The light hit the dial in a rather compelling way in my opinion smile....

Do you know which meteorite? Muonionalusta from Sweden??

And not even Stepan knew to tell me exactly. The one thing that I was particularly happy with is that he allowed me to select both the meteorite pattern and color! Obviously, I'd highly recommend getting a watch from Stepan to any watch fanatic πŸ™πŸ˜Š

Is the sapphire coated on both sides? I would love to see a slightly beefier case using the same inspiration, maybe with a dive bezel and regular lugs.
