A newcomer Cavasino
Another one entering the arena.
I see a mix of different brands : Simon Brette, Akrivia...
Haven't found the price but I guess the finishing is the usual wildcard to reach a hefty price.
"Three faces, one Identity
The inaugural tourbillon is available by subscription only, limited to 20 pieces.
It is the result of three years of creation and development.
Its dial with Métiers d’Arts combines a contemporary hammered motif with grand feu clear enamel, presented through three expressions: grey steel hands, classic flame-blued hands or rare violet flame-blued hands.
A double-lug titanium case, drawn for elegance and balance, frames the work.
A timepiece conceived to be worn with ease and created to last."

Speaking of boring.... has it now become obvious that mass-production retail store brands can't dare to compete with artists of horology, as it threatens their Big Box Store minimal-effort / mass-production scheme.
Been waiting for certain Big Box Store brands to release their Conneseur Series... but so far nothing from them. Wonder if it becase the best decorators are leaving to go out on their own / small independents?
I didn't know about this brand until
I see your thread. Great size, brilliant finishing and interesting movement. The 20 pcs souscription are all sold. Keen to see what's coming next.
And more of the same. Honestly, it’s getting kinda boring.
Was talking about this with a group yesterday over lunch, the others had seen this watch the previous evening and several other new indies. Everyone has magically found THE formula. And everyone and their dog is taking a shot at it. For now, there are eno...
You made my day ! The Finishing-bros (I imagine the WhatsApp group "Anglage bros" "Tremblage bros"...)
Swap the logo, and you’d hardly be able to tell which brand it is !
The Swiss export 17m watches annually
and only 24 are by Simon Brette, 20-30 by Akrivia, 50 by Kari, 50 by PB, 12 by Sylvain Pinaud, 12 by Remy Cools, etc. Say if we add their production number, we probably won't top 2000 total (I don't consider Journe artisanal). This is like a tiny drop in ...
Yes.
Gets back to a point Journe made a while back which caused a minor uproar here: these guys are doing wonders with their finishing but are doing nothing for horology.
I have spent some time with didier.
Smart , nice and very talented. I believe subscription price 77,000 CHF
Here it is in reality. Pics from the show in NYC
I like Didier, he seems to be wanting to do something good in the watch world. I believe however that as many have pointed out, that this formulaic concept of creating a watch in CAD, having specialists make and finish the required parts, with a serious w...
