I really like both designs a lot. Agree that maybe the cases would need a bit more work to make them a bit more refined [nt]

My latest two

Hello everyone, I recently finished these two and since I got the properly nice pictures today, I figured I'd share them. Let me know what you think of if you have any questions. Take care, Ondrej ...  

CONGRATS on these pieces

I have been following your work closely on IG and I love the handmade look of your pieces. My one suggestion would be to refine the design of your case. Overall I think you are doing some wonderful things.

Congrats, Ondrej. I like the round case, the movement and the dial of the C case. What's the material you used for the dials? One thing, as said by thegrailwatch, you should give a better

finish to your cases, in my opinion, even if I guess your idea behind these finishings. Just to give some contrast and highlight your work on the movement and dials.

Thank you

The dial in the round case is made from Muonialusta meteorite, same as the movement bridges. The second one is made with gun blued damascus mainplate and rhodium plated bridges. Both in damasteel cases. Ondrej

When you say more refined,

what are you referring to? Ondrej

Not putting words...

...in someone's mouth, but the finish of the cases look "rough". I don't know if people realize your use of Damacus Steel on the cases. To me your work is very nice and appreciated. Maybe people would like to see a polished case to contrast movement finis... 

That's what I'm afraid off.

I probably should have explained all the materials and ideas behind these two, as they are, afterall, pretty specific. Ondrej

Good work

I like the striations on plates and face but ,I think, these should not be continued to case which should be polished, which would then highlight design on face and plates. My preference is always for an interesting, and thus different watch.

Congratulations, good job!

Loving it !

I have been another one of your instagram followers and I have loved to see all of the amazing timepieces you produce with such ingenuity and uniquness. While I can understand the comments of the others about how the case's finished may not be "refined", ... 

Thank you :) [nt]

Great work!

Really like the way you’ve composed the dial with showing and hiding mechanics. There are some thing that I’d need to see with my own eyes: One is the case, as the Damascus layers are so fine, I think it would look better live. Second is the dial. Even th...
