Size on the wrist…
Is a highly personal perception and needs to look right to you. I find this one fits my wrist better than most contemporary Reversos but it’s always best to first try.
Glad if you you found the post helpful 👍🏻🙏🏻
If you always wanted a rectangular independent - Schnelle Watches ⌚️🇩🇪
As you well know, I do not only appreciate things perfectly round when it comes to watches - the VC 1972 Prestige de la France being a prime example. At the same time I also like the personalization offered by independents - a Venn diagram of the two curr...
Six years sounds like something truly epic 🙌🏻👌🏻
As for watches unworn in years - been there done that 😂🤦🏻♂️
Have you personally impressed the Emperor so much…
That the Micro Artist Studio decided to honor you with a piece unique? 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
🤣😋
No, I tried when I visited them, but no reply means no, so asked Cedric Johner to execute the vision, one can hope he finally completes it.
That sounds incredibly exciting 🙌🏻👌🏻👍🏻
Was considering to check if the GS Cal. 19xx wouldn’t fit into a Schnelle - it’s a very rare shaped 5Hz movement 😁👍🏻
Thanks KMII - that's a nice report on a watch that one will not likely ever see in the wild !
I like the first, "basic" version for its austere, almost unfinished-concrete like aesthetic.
Many thanks for this great post!
These watches have really piqued my interest and I had gathered some photos for a hypothetical future post. So your feedback is very welcome and valuable ! I like the general idea very much but have the impression from photos that 48 mm lug to lug would b...

So Thomas harvests 9LT movements from '40s / '50s production . . .
. . . Longines found on eBay or other secondary market sources, then? He's giving new life to old movements that will carry on for another century. Kudos on that account alone. 👏🏼
Awesome!!!
I have been trying to get one for a while but he said he needs time to work through the back log. I love his case shape and the overall idea. Very fun watch!
He does have a backlog indeed 😊👍🏻
So likewise not sure when mine will materialize 😁🤷🏻♂️
I don't know how long the wait is for a watch from Thomas Schnelle...
But been waiting 6 years for Cedric Johner to finish my watch and no news on when he will finish 🙄🤷♂️
The wait is definitely over a year given the orders…
But do not think it would be six 🤷🏻♂️
Great post. And a very cool watch in my opinion.
As you know I’m also somewhere in the line for one of these too. No hurry, and I hope that Thomas can manage the interest he has to the best for him and his business. Seems like there are several of us here that have already registered interest. With that...
Will do my best 😂😂😂
But let’s not forget - a likely WPS edition would probably equal his annual production, which might not allow him to serve any other clients and seriously affect his cash flow 🤷🏻♂️
