My first rectangular one.
Hello everyone,
this is my first properly rectangular watch after years of making round ones. Cushion with round crystal doesn't count 
What do you think?
Have a great day,
Ondrej

Hi Ondrej!
Wow! What a lovely watch! What brand is it and which country is it from? So refreshing to see something new!
Congratulations
Visibly a lot of hard work you put in the design as well as the manufacturing, A real piece of art.
Interesting and intriguing
The case almost looks a bit like Damascus steel Very interesting time piece Would love to learn more
Some of the details:
and please feel free to ask specific questions if I happen to leave something out. Case is 40x28x11mm ( plus lugs ) made from re-forged stainless damasteel with titanium backlid. The form movement is my own architecture using titanium for the plate and br...
Thanks. Can you tell us about the mponphase? I did not see ..
A ring or dial for the seconds.
There is no seconds dial, as the balance makes the watch running quite obvious 🙂
The moonphase is a 4mm ball made of meteorite iron, heat colored and then engraved to look a bit like the actual moon. It's staked onto an axle with a small pinion ( 10 leaf ) that is run by a 59/20 tooth castle wheel mobile. Jumps once a day.
Nice prototype
A job well done. So when do you post your round models? I think your watches made in CZ. But which movements and parts do you use? Swiss, german, other?
I post everything as soon as it's finished, but I only make about four or five a year, so it's not that often 🙂
These days I'm mostly using Unitas geartrain and jewels with my own cases, dials, hands, plates, bridges and complication parts.
I have followed Ondrej for a while on IG and have had the pleasure to speak with him as well.
I'm a fan of his work and really enjoy watching him progress. The piece he posted here today is no exception. Below are two other pieces which I find quite intriguing and from what he was able to approximately quote me, I believe to be agreeable prices. P...
Hi Ondrej,
This is a fascinating piece, I've followed your work on IG and have admired you obvious talent. Let's see more pics of this beauty! Cheers, Tim
Ondrej, another very interesting piece. Thank you for sharing.
I’m sure there will be other technical questions so I’ll leave those for now. Instead can you share some of your story? Watchmaking school? Professional background? I’m curious, as I’m sure many are, about how you got to this point. Thanks!
