We start with the box.

And what will we found?

A box of wood and masonite is new to me.

Carton is a different material that can be used for the interior .

Some nice options at the bottom of the box.

So what we got?

A delivery from Wei & Friends Atelier. Based in Prague, Czech Republic.

The Watchsculptures from the watchmaker Martin Wiechert. Handmade in total 27 pieces.

Sadly some time after these watches were released, Martin passed away.

A very unique design with hands made in of a total of 11 different three-dimensional pieces made of 4 kinds of metal.

Rhodium plating and blued steel will be a great chioce to put together.

The double sealed crown at 4 o'clock position for best comfort.

Very easy to handle.

The antishock system are a innovative floating seating not only for the enamelled dial, but also for the hands and movement. The hight is 12mm.

The manufacture of each enamelled dial requires a process involving 49 different steps. The case is 44,5mm without the crown.

The lugs have a unique design that can be removed from the case when switching straps.

The Luminova is found in the rehaut ring so as not to disturb the clean dial.

Bright white enamelled dial.

It glows great when it's been loaded with a spotlight.

The movement is a modified ETA 6498 Elabore.

This watch is number 5 of total 27 made.

Modified by W&F with engraved plate. Decorated with Geneva Stripes, perlage and blued screws. Manual winding, 48 hours power reserve.

A nice dark grey leather strap was at the bottom of the box.

With a folding clasp.

Thats it, now I will enjoy it with a beer from the area where it's made.

Of course I will officiating in style.
