Kallinich Claeys "Einser": Independent Watch Overview

Of the various editions, the Hong Kong edition is my favorite due to it's more uniform dial appearance, but my true favorite here is the JK Meisterwerk. It has something about it reminiscent to me of the PLM Richard Lange . Thank you very much Emmanuel for this splendid pictorial! Cheers, Filip

but I have mixed feelings. I don’t really like the lateral PR indicator and even if the movement is very nicely designed and finished, its German style speaks to me less than the traditional Swiss style. That said, I love their needle seconds hand and the “brutalist” design of the Founders Edition. The Meisterwerk is definitely VERY reminiscent of a PLM Richard Lange and I personally feel a lack of originality here. Anyway, interesting and high quality work. Best, Emmanuel

is dead-on. I'm afraid I wouldn't rather have it over a RL. Likewise, I too prefer traditional Swiss finishing. 🙏

I do like the PR window on the contrary, makes it look interesting like FB’s. I had the chance to get one of 22 original pieces but hesitated, of course regretted since. Actually prefer the new WG version to have some heft and really love the work they do, excited to see what else they can come up in the pipeline. Met them at DWW recently and enjoyed the experience and seeing the watches.

The two first models were priced very reasonably and definitely understand why you have some regrets. The new white gold seems impressive too. Like you, the side window made me think of the FB3. As you say: let's wait and see what they do next. Best, Emmanuel

As said I visited them and it was such a great welcome Like said in my post, the way how they “made” their own CNC system is something I’ll remember forever Later that day we had dinner and these 2 guys are very passionate but also so enjoyable to talk with !
