Ant's passion is contagious, for sure!

Based on the pieces I have handled, Bexei's work is nothing short of impressive. The attention to detail and skill is, to me at least, pretty amazing and at the top of the game. His design aesthetic is admittedly not for everyone (including myself), but his movements and their finishing are sure to please many of us here.
Congratulations on getting a commission underway! Hopefully you can share more with us here as it progresses.
All the best,
Walid

Bexei Watches, Independents, and Connecting

I rarely post, but I was just reading an online interview with a wonderful purist and kindred spirit whom a lot of us know here as Ant talking about his Bexei. It got me to think about the relationships we make along the way in this mad hobby of ours and ...  

Independents is all about meeting and knowing the persons behind the brand imho

That journey and to communicate with them is why i love these indies a lot .

Totally agree!

It is very personal with indies and you feel like you are on a journey together. I am also so happy to see some of the indies getting the recognition they deserve. Its been a long time coming. All the best, Walid

I read this interview as well.

Wonderful. Ant’s watch was the one that inspired me to commission a piece from Bexei. We are currently working on a very exciting project.

Ant's passion is contagious, for sure!

His new Deco case design might be more to your taste.

That is what I’m having done for myself. It’s a gorgeous stepped case design. I’m also having it made in 38mm, which in my opinion, is a timeless proportion.

Will definitely look into it!

I am craving a shaped case and movement combo that is a bit off the beaten path. L&H’s Georg was something I thought about but in person didn’t get that feeling. Maybe this might do the trick. Thanks for the suggestion! All the best, Walid

I think you will like it.

I can send you photos if you’d like.

Thanks for the kind offer

Would love to see them! Will send you a PM. All the best, Walid

Thanks for your kind words.

Everything begins and ends with friendship. I have made many enduring friends whilst enjoying my watch hobby. Aaron is a different story, a lovely guy with an incredible talent. Underappreciated and hardly recognised. In my small way I am trying to redres...

Being a patron comes with responsibility …

and you are in that matter an inspiration for us all. Pushing the borders, sharing the passion and helping in our humble way the talents that we feel deserve more recognition is a big part of it. Warm regards T
