pure class
FX - thanks for the post, these watches are beautiful on both sides! They look durable enough to last 5 lifetimes. The balance wheels are indeed big and beautiful at 16mm but that should come much easier when working with a 37mm movement.

Wonderful!

Art Deco with an industrial movement
His dial fonts and process on the simple 770 reminds me of the art deco watches. His movement is very well thought out. I appreciate the use of the maltese cross to always keep sufficient power to support a chronometer grade movement. Shock protection on ...
