the elves were the show stoppers
Hi MTF,
the sapphire were said to be very difficult to make/cut/drill/polish with its brittle nature and even more so when serves as integral parts of the movement, i was sold by the whole concept instantly back then. the total package is both refreshing & modern compare to the metal bridges. its said these sapphire bridges r among the most time consuming to make of all bridges.
& more on the elves
cheers,

a tiny detail shown ongoing progression
I only notice this little detail sunday afternoon after my posting At first i thought there may be a crack on the bottom of the sapphire bridge, but ruled out such possibility after a closer look as it seem purposeful with a tiny screw shiny beneath. i di...
Is that precious? Excited about the Elves....
lien, Is that 'precious' sapphire for the bridges? I wonder if they are as easy/difficult to make as the metal ones? Certainly, not a lot of 'black polishing' required. I also was very excited when I read "elves". I thought you were going to report on the...
