I can see what you mean

To my way of thinking one letter doesn't make a sentence.
Lots of designers use common elements: guillochet, tear-drop lugs, Breguet numerals, Calatrava style cases etc
I found interesting parallels between Jurgensen and Voutilainen,,,,until I found a much older design from a long defunct maker that looked like a clone of Jurgensen. Except it came
50 years earler!
If one digs around you can find almost any design element in modern watches that has been done before.
It's all a bit biffle dinking !

Recently I have been discussing design concepts with Aaron and Eszter Becsei because one of their customers contacted me wanting my comments on his design ideas. You know how these things snowball! Before I knew it Aaron started making renders of things t...

Agree - DR version 2.0 (and I think that's a good thing).

Nice cases and designs. They seem derivitive as if I've seen them before but they are still nice.

For me the black rendering dial is closer to what I'd want (or red) but the guilloche patterns are pretty cool, just not a fan of silver on silver on silver.

Can you ask for the watch case to be made out of titanium?

I think the design looks great!

I like the more refined case shape as well!

Ditto!

I think that there is enough going on in the design and that extra adornment could make it too elaborate.... for my taste . Within reason, Aaron can do anything. Regards Antony

Anything by Bexei is awesome!!

However, i am more flamboyant and so I would prefer more cravings and some diamonds/gemstones like jade, rubies, etc...

I opened the app without my glasses, saw the photo, and also thought “Daniel Roth.” In fact I expected to see a post on his early small seconds.

There’s no doubting the similarity in the case shape. Seeing it here makes one wonder why more watchmakers haven’t adopted it. I’ve seen a Tiffany’s with an ‘Ellipsocurvex’ case and that’s about it. Closer inspection does however reveal rather distinctive...
