My taste in watches has evolved over the years. Now I'm totally into the artisanal type with hand-finishing and collecting along that way. The Petermann Bedat 1967 is my very first artisanal watch and I love those sharp interior angles along the bridges, dead-beat mechanism and even the dial. It's always a good sign when watchmakers spend time carving each spokes of the wheels. Sharing with you some of my favorite pics, and have a great weekend!

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...
Thank you kindly
That’s serious cash dear Ichiran. I guess i must turn on to C Ward Bel Canto.
Fantastic finishing indeed!
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!
shock protection on the balance -why does it not have it?
for that price it should have it fitted.
