Dream watch
Last September, I dedicated a thread to Yosuke Sekiguchi's Primevère.
The more I think about it, the more I feel this watch could meet my dearest dreams (reason why I will try to see it in real life next time I go to Switzerland).
What I miss in most Patek Philippe watches, which I have devoted much research to in recent months, and which I admire deeply nonetheless, is a caliber made in the old-fashioned way and that is a feast to behold.
Here are some photos of the rose gold, black enamel dial variant of the Primevère taken by Yosuke Sekiguchi himself and by two Japanese collectors.
Have a nice day!

This is a watch I can’t fault in any way.
Legible, lots of horological craft and great aesthetics(tastes may vary). The movement resembles the old Swiss pocket watch design which is appealing, so go for it if you feel the after sale service is secured!
I will try to see it in February. It really seems to have everything I'm looking for in a watch.
One of the tiny details I'm most excited about is the omega-shaped winding click... credit: sjx ...
That's exactly what I love so much about this watch.
And it's also the reason why I ended up acquiring an LF Galet micro-rotor.
Thanks for introducing this to me
I love it. The dial is great. The movement is superb , the finishing, the layout, the aesthetics, the large balance wheel. Great
Superb hand-finishing
I love counting the many interior angles in the movement, and the spokes are hand-carved. What a beautiful watch.
Yes, it's a wonderful and very well finished movement.
I'm glad you like it too. Thanks for looking.
"Style and execution": I like your words!
Thanks for your reaction, I'm glad you like it too.
Certainly a dream watch!
A bit out of range for me, but maybe someday. In the meantime I'll dream Looked at the thread you posted previously and I love them all. Where in the world do you find a Jurgensen like that?! I often find aventurine dials a bit too flashy in certain light...
I might have to keep dreaming too...
I'll know more when I'll have seen it in real life: hopefully in February. The so-called “Jürgensen” calibre was actually a generic style popular in the mid 19th century: Yosuke Sekiguchi decided to use an 1871 Jules Jürgensen pocket watch that he restore...
Hi again,
Looking forward to your impressions after you have it on your wrist! When I mentioned aventurine I was speaking about one of the pictures from your thread in September. It's the seventh picture. Looks like dark blue with little specks. Maybe I'm mistaken....
You're absolutely right: dark blue aventurine!
It's ref.39WG-DBAVWH (white gold), limited to 10 pieces . The description says: Dark blue aventurine Champleve enamel, white enamel Roman index dial... I will of course share my impressions if and when I get to see these pieces in real life! Best.
Aha, absolutely! ;-)
I'm glad you like it too. It's a single man more than a brand, who emigrated from Japan to Switzerland, worked at La Joux Perret and Claret and ended up making his own watches. Best.
