Ichiran's journey into artisanal watchmaking provides a compelling look at the Petermann Bédat 1967, a timepiece celebrated for its intricate hand-finishing. His detailed photographs highlight the sharp interior angles, dead-beat mechanism, and meticulously carved wheel spokes, offering a masterclass in appreciating haute horlogerie. This article delves into the nuances of what makes an artisanal watch truly exceptional, as seen through the eyes of a passionate collector.
My thoughts on PB aside, this is what good finishing looks like. Fantastic photos, thanks for these!
Someone(s) put in a lot of polishing time. Wow!
Wind up wind down, i go for artisan watches, is my plan. Wel, there are a few traditionals to go honestly said. After or a bit before, depends what i do. A nice titanium with a layer of 18k gold waiting for me, so that block a bit the artisan choice. With your PB i can make a decision, and all other artisans that come on the screen. For sure i like RG his Logical One, but that is a bridge too far speaking of affordability. May i ask how many K you paid?
The only thing I'm personally less fond of is the devil's tail at the four ends of the dead beat anchor: I couldn't say why, but this aesthetic choice doesn't appeal to my own taste. But who cares, really, when the watch is so great! Enjoy!
I am glad you are enjoying your artisanal hobby.
That’s serious cash dear Ichiran. I guess i must turn on to C Ward Bel Canto.
