a few details

First time I read about this independent was in 2013 on a French forum. Pascal Coyon, the watchmaker wanted to make his own watch.
It took him 16 months from concept to prototype. The base movement is a Unitas 6498 but as you can see it's completely reworked an very, very well finished. The aim was to make it look like a vintage Longines pocket watch movement. the ref 19.70.
And as you can see he put a lot of work in the fantastic finishing of the bridges and cocks. the black polishing of the steel parts are simply impressive, just like the beveling and sharp inward angles.
Each watch was tested at the Besançon observatory, and got that cool certificate ( imo much better than the millions and millions COSC).
He made 60 watches in total. 20 with a yellow gold finished movement, 20 red gold and 20 silver colored.
I believe it took him 3 - 4 years to make the 60 different watches.
