Independents

Couldn't resist posting this, in my opinion, sublime dial-strap combo on this FB 1R from their Instagram page.... ...  

as authentic and classically inspiring as it gets.... Sure, on the opposite end of something like a MB&F piece, but that's the appeal of it........

I totally agree with you. Cheers, Filip

it was likewise completely captivating! Thanks for looking, Filip

There's something about its asymmetrical minimalism.... All that negative space on the lower right really 'invites' the eyes to carefully explore the surface of the dial....

To that central cut-out which I know you don't really care for, and I also don't think of it as particularly attractive....

The only very gorgeous piece is FB2T😁

One of the most amazing ever.

I agree with you amigo, wasn't even aware that you were so devoutly devoted to their watch designs - how astutely described!! Cheers, Filip

FB=Engineering Art vs MBF=Mechanical Sculpture. I dont know how to describe it. To be honest its like FB Mon-Sat Tool/Sport/Party and then MBF Leisure Sunday.

That's admittedly why I am more biased/drawn to FB than MB&F despite loving the latter's wildly imaginative designs as well....

They are just different kind of beauty. Actually to be complete we need both and urwerks😄 in this catagory

Urwerk is the 'alien spaceship' wild imagination design ethos that most of us would have loved best as children (which I still am on the inside )........ Ultimately, FB is the one that we as 'reasonable adults' would wear most frequently. Thanks again for... 

Everyday I am still learning from my Lord Vlad🙂

seeing wristshots of yours! I just recently watched a video of someone winding up a 1R - the sound of the fusee getting tightened is almost arousing LoL ........
