I have known Reima for quite a few years and did a project with him on a chronograph
Reima and I just had dinner together today. He is finishing a project for me, a chronograph for which I had a vintage dial and Angelus 215 movement. He had to revise the movement and create a case which he made the oldfashioned way, create me pump pushers and clean the dial carefully without touching it or changing the print. I was supposed to get the watch tonite, but he needs a few more days. I will share pictures with you when I have it.
If you need to contact him, just message him on Insta. He will respond, even if it takes a day or two. All the watchmakers are sometimes a bit slow since they are working on watches.
Read it, think about it, consider it .... and thank me later :-)
Some time ago I learned to know an independent watchmaker ' Reima Koivukoski ' a bit better. I saw pictures of the things he made and we started to discuss quite a lot about watches. And in the near future we will have lunch together to talk even more abo...
Would a case < 38 mm be possible, Bruno? . . .
. . . fitted with an Ω movement, naturally . . .
Ask him to be sure
But I think 37 is the smallest with that omega base 37 till 40 I believe with that movement People that prefer a 41-43 will get a unitas inside but the end product will look exactly the same (same looks, finishing ... )
I thank you right now ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
That formerly Omega looks stunning. I've already reached out a friend who'd better contact him than buying anything else. Finally a young watchmaker with affordable prices, with time only instead of tourbillon, and a huge choice of customisation. Thank yo...
exactly my feelings
time only and not a useless expensive tourbilon. And again ..; 1 guy that makes his own case, hands, dials, rework a good movement ... Who else does all of this. Making a case like this .. I can only name a few and they prices start at ( way too high)
Thanks for this great post from a very talented and upcoming watchmaker
I know it will be a success and sold out in no time.
Good to see your journey with this beautiful watch …
Thanks for sharing this with us.
have actually been following this guy for a number of years !
Love his work and there are so many amazing watchmakers on instagram that people just dont hear about and produce so much amazing art. This guy including! Please continue sharing your journey with us
Amazing work… thanks for sharing!
I hope you‘ll soon receive yours and that it passes your expectations. Until then, enjoy the journey!
will take 6 to 10 months
counting down the days ofcourse won't take that long to make one but he is busy with other things now so can't begin with mine yet

Meanwhile ...
months went by and quite a lot changed ... The movement as seen in the second picture will look quite a bit different. Think about some sharp inward angles, other and thicker bridges to make the bevelling more beautiful/visible Still everything on track a...
A bridge …
Next is making the holes for the jewels bigger Adding some cotes de Genève Hand engraving some text Giving it a platinum ( bright ) plating But to me the shape , sharp inward angles, anglage, razor sharp point at the end ….. make me already more than happ...
