Independents

Dear The Purist, I had the chance to bid on the upside down watch and I won the bid. I am really happy that i will get the watch maybe in 1 month time since i ask for the consolidated shipment to HongKong to avoid any taxes. What are your thought about th... 

I have seen this watch in PT, RG, and WG, and I like all of the variants. The movement is very clever (and beautiful, in my view), and it is a fun complication as well. I think that it might take a bit of time to get used to reading the dial and seeing th... 

Adi, are you talking about the Christie's auction held in NY last Wednesday? Guess what? I was the second highest bidder, at $21k, which I placed as an absentee bid. I was actually flying on my way back from LA to HK and missed the opportunity to call in ... 

Yes, it was me the next bidder from Indonesia. When i get bored i will shoot you a message. I cannot wait to get my watch. I will have my watch ship to Hongkong. Cheers Adi

Taken at IGOTT2 and from Ludovic's wrist to mine. Enjoy your new piece and post your own wrist shots when it arrives. Congratulations, Adi. Andrew ...  

Thanks Andrew, I will deffinetly take wrist shot when i get it. regards, adi

You feel it when the hour changes... There is a Peseux 7001 base with a very clever maltese crosses system: Fx ...  

Hallo Adi I believe you are one of the very 1st Indo to own it. Congrats on your bid! May i ask which version did you win on, the Pt? While i do not own it, i held one of the very 1st prototypes and i will say that it is a very unique watch, although not ... 

Dear Blunotte, How are you? Yes i purchase the platinum series. I like this watch because of the unusual way of telling time. Cheers, Adi

As a former owner of the watch... I think it is whimsical... a very interesting complication, a super watchmaker who is a really nice guy. Wear it, enjoy it, and wish you all the best, OpC

Thanks optionc may i know why did you let your piece go? Thanks

i just cant believe that someone would spend the money required on what i consider to be a superb piece and then send it to auction so soon. it cant be any more than a year old if that. well done, i look forward to seeing pics of it. G

Adi - You are a very lucky man. Please let us know how it feels on the wrist when you get it. Absolutely beautiful piece and I have to wonder if it will be your every day wearer. Cheers! - Scott

I will definetlly post a wristscan when i get it.

Hi Ludovic, its a great honour for me to be replied by you the watch maker. I was fascinated by the complication, as i always like watch that tells time diferrently. I actually wanted to get an urwerk for my second independent watch but after seing your w... 

Dear Adi, you are welcome at Geneva in my workshop, send me a message when you come please. You don't see just independent watchmaker, but we go to see a good independent cook ;-) In English ???? What we say ??? Cook or Chef ???

Hi, Ludovic - Kudos to you for such an amazing work of living art. So beautiful and so unique. I hope to visit you one day. - Scott

Thank you very much for your nice post, it's good for my Heart ;-)

Dear Ludovic, I try to go to your website and i wanted to email you regarding the strap size. Since my watch was ship without the strap due to the exportation law in USA and I will only be getting it when i go to USA this December. Can you please give me ...
