Independents

The first has the advantage of its dial, which is much more my taste than the too flat ( at least in my opinion ) second: The first: The Second generation: As for the movement, it is a tie, here, once again for me. Some would prefer the more decorated mov...  

Some time this year. My dial will be a cloisonné enamel dial made by Donze and an homage to the old Art Deco IWC dials. It will be cased in platinum. I have yet to decide on the hand design. ...  

And amazing dial, the outcome should be crazy awesome, I can’t wait to see see it!

er... the watch box.

If Pascal Coyon kickstarted a new wave of independent French watchmaking. Excited to see what comes out of France in the coming years, from Coyon and hopefully others.

I will do it.

But I believe the case size, which is >40mm is outside of my preferred size for a three hand dress watch.

Crown could stay. No certain whether I would upgrade the cosmetic finish on the first.

As Cozmo pointed out, custom hands and dials are possible. I have an idea I'll share when it is ready.

Almost any customization is possible. He is working with Metalem and Donze.

….on on both is lovely. The chronometer regulation a cherry on top. Happy with either movement, but then case 2 with a customised dial that somehow complements those hands, which I also like a lot.

Thanks for sharing..

The first is my favorite. ...  

…all lovely in their own style. I wonder what no2 would look like with maybe slightly bigger numerals? For my old eyes!

Thanks for this cool comparison Nico 👍🙏🙏
