A new Josh Shapiro

I received my Josh Shapiro Infinity watch today. It’s stunning. There are a few special features of the watch that are worth highlighting.
The dial is ruthenium and the way it plays with light is mesmerizing.
The numerals on the chapter ring are heat blued and match the heat blued hands. The numerals were first hand engraved. Josh then heat blued the entire chapter ring and brushed it. All that remained blue were the numerals. Again, the interplay between these numerals and the light is fascinating. At times they appear black, at other times, bright blue.
The caseback is engine turned and engraved with a Lithuanian snake called Žaltys, king of the grass snakes, a symbolic protector of the family. It’s coiled in the shape of an infinity sign to reference the watch.
Well done, Mr. Shapiro.

Looks exquisite! Further ownership reviews and wrist shots soon please!
I did not.

The UWD movement is beautiful and very well made but not the focus of the watch in my opinion. I wanted to cover as much real estate with engine turning and engravings
That's a very handsome piece

And liking your integration of the snake with the infinity logo. Hoping for ownership review too!
Love it!

The guilloching is a bit like Breguet and early Daniel Roth, old school but very classical... Is the movement an UWD? I would love to see a picture from the movement as well.. What is the diameter of the watch? Yours, Adam
I‘m a sucker for blued steel!

Looks quite amazing, your new piece. Great guilloche on the dial, too! Enjoy this rare bird! Daniel
The story of Josh Shapiro is so cool

He lives in LA and teaches High School in the afternoon which gives him time to make his dials in the morning! Wonderful looking watch, congratulations...Jim
Yes!

Although watchmaking has definitely taken him over recently. He has many orders to fill
