Independents

Has anyone owned a piece by him? The pricing relative to what you get seems bananas. Check out some of these angles and overall level of finishing. Love the dial side balance too, am a complete sucker for it. ...  

Hadn’t heard about prior. Looks great. Thanks for sharing

Since I follow that brand pretty close I’m interested in everything about it

i post my photos as "waitlisted" on IG

Great photos!

we all had dinner last night (me, nycwatchguy, the owner of the lecomte, and watchmatician on this forum) and I have the Lecomte with me now. it's very beautiful.

Just voicing my praise

Appreciate the kind words. Lecomte photos coming soon!

But that anglage sure looks fabulous!

How was the process? Did it arrive on time? Quality?

the one in my pic is from his first series, the one in yours is from his second. Both sold out. I am waiting for my second as well. Collaboration with him is flawless, so are his watches.

Let me know if you end up moving one

Thanks Bruno! I am the one that DMd you on IG. Appreciate the information!

Was bummed to have missed out on his latest offering. The few conversations he and I have had on IG gives me the impression he is a true gentleman in addition to his obvious incredible watchmaking skill.

Thanks for the info. I knew little about this second series except for the few posts I’ve seen on IG. Can you tell us the rough price bracket this second series falls into?

He sent pricing but the reality is that the next batch he does will be much more. He clearly did this to help build his brand which is awesome if someone got into the run. Let’s just say that even at 5x of the price of these I haven’t seen angles like tha... 

Can’t wait to see what his next watch is.

I dont own any but if I could I would as they are very unique, special, exclusive, and made by a nice guy, everything a person could want in a watch!
