Garrick S2 Dead Beat Seconds
It was a wait of almost two years but frankly, totally worth the wait...
Back in 2022, a group of us decided to commission David Brailsford, an independent English watchmaker for 8 bespoke watches, with a specific request for deadbeat seconds. David thoughtfully set up a chat group, posted videos and kept us abreast of developments every now and then. It was very exciting but kept us on our toes. Voila - the watches finally arrived today and we wasted no time to pick them up.
The timepiece has a power reserve of 45 hours and is powered by a new movement, the Calibre DB-C06, featuring a high quotient of hand craftsmanship. Here are some hastily taken pictures:

Very nice Sham
the 38 mm diameter will fit your wrist well. I prefer this version to the anchor hands...
Thanks Sam!
And I too prefer these hands because for me the anchor hands clutter the dial a little especially on the smaller case size.
Thanks.
I should also mention the hacking seconds - the hand stops when the crown is pulled out.
Huge congrats! That's funny, I remember David mentioning a group of deadbeat S2 watches he really needed to focus on 😂
The watches look great and the deadbeat complication looks like it was really nicely integrated to the movement.
Yes, they turn out to be better than we expected
Throughout the process, we've come to realize how passionate David is in watchmaking
Great watch!
And I love your choice of deadbeat seconds - one of my favorite complications 👏🏻👍🏻
