Independents

Hello, After several months of work, I’m excited to share the latest updates on my project. The Grand Large Acier prototype is nearly complete, and the movement has now been created. Here are some steps of the manufacturing process: hand chamfering, lacqu...  

This is quite nice. Love the dial, original from so much of the new independents which almost seems cookie cutter.

I made some pics, but they don’t do it justice. I believe this is Jean’s school watch. Jean will make it in RG and steel. It’s 41mm and WR is 10 atm. I am liking the steel a lot. KR, Sc16 ...
