Interesting thought, thank you. Do you think the numerals should be a bit bigger? Or perhaps the letters thinner?

Christian Lass prototype!
Is I have written a bit about earlier, a danish watchmaker Christian Lass, has now finished his first prototype. The prototype has a silver case, german silver dial and the movement still needs finishing, but the overall picture is clear. I am very impres...
I saw it earlier on his and your IG, it looks really great. Congratulations to Christian, his wife and yourself on what looks like a fantastic project.
Best of all, the watch is a wearable and classic size !
Thank you very much for your kind words.
Yes, it's sits perfectly on my wrist at slightly less than 38 mm. The bezel is thin, so the dial is relatively large. The case is 9 mm in height and the domed crystal (which follows the case) gives it a total height of around 11,5 mm
This is impressive work
Christian worked at Vianney Halter's atelier during the start of his career, and you can see some influence there in his current dial. There are some echoes of Halter's classic watch, especially in the way he beveled the chapter ring. Does anyone have an ...
I thought the same
The dial is referential to the VH Classic which is in no way a bad thing!
I am not sure what the price going forward will be, but
the plan is to make some more. The current watch is not part of a official series yet, but being a time only it would fit pretty good into one. He has talked a bit about that, so it's likely. Don't wait to long though as he can only make a handful each ye...
Very nice...
...the logo on the dial could be slightly less bold so as not to compete with the numerals of similar weight.
The name could be a bit smaller along with the curved base...
...I would consider just engraving it in a straight line below 12 on the dial. But barring that, they both (name and numerals) appear to be a 'bold' face. The name should be subordinate to the numerals, so I would render the name in a 'regular' face. Over...
I have seen it on IG and also ask some more info from Christian.
It will def be a absolute stunning watch. Really looking forward to see it in person at some point
Sure! If you have the chance, you should pay Christian and Hanne a visit.
I will get to wear the prototype soon and until after new year, when they begin making the final watch and final finish ;-)
Fantastic
Let’s have coffee soon. I may be have a trip to Cph before Christmas, I will pm you to see if you have time 🤗
It's always great to have new watchmakers introducing a new proposal but...
...when the new proposal is so beautiful and well executed it is fantastic! Really beautiful and worth looking at: the dial, the movement, the case… I reallyb look forward to seeing the finished piece
Hi Ronald.
Not yet. He has a website at ChristianLass.com where you can get in contact with him, but I would encourage you to follow him at IG. I will see if I can get him to join this forum, otherwise he is happy to answer questions and send additional photos e...
