Horological Meandering

Thanks Andrew...

 

Except for my wrist, the first indication that people have about my love for watches is the state of my overflowing bookshelves (my wife has resigned herself to her kindle so I have little competition). The watches are less numerous, though no less important, but picking up my pencil again has allowed me to realise another outlet. I really appreciate your comments.

Regards,

Baruch

Very nice piece. Journe Tourbillon?

Did you do this yourself? Is it of a Journe Tourbillon? A work of art. I like it! I think you should do a series of watch subjects.

It is indeed based on the Tourbillon Souverain

I use a very limited set of tools: pencils (various grades/colours) and drawing pen (0.05mm an 0.1mm). It has been my preferred method for years. Unfortunately, most of my work is from many years back, and architecturally inclined (key influence being Cha...
