Independents

Bernhard Lederer makes complications for brands you thought did everything "in-house". Now, he's made only the second ever wristwatch with a George Daniels Double Impulse Escapement!!! This is the perfection of Breguet's Natural Escapement. Here we have a...  

maybe this decade! Some may say that 44mm is too large but please bear in mind that the lugs are small and curved and the movement itself is 39.3mm in diameter! Keeping the watch case to 44mm is in itself an achievement!

It is calling to you!

The watch is calling to every single person on this forum!!! But can you imagine how easy would it be for anyone to service this watch?!

They want to have a look at how it's been running and owners are so much better off going with them. Speaking of which, Frodsham, or the Struthers, people like that, could service this Lederer if Mr. Lederer was unavailable for some reason.

Now to decide which bank to rob!!

But I would be most appreciative if you could spare yours. You may borrow the watch any time you wish!

I don't drink, so it's in excellent condition! Given time and care, I can probably grow it back...

Your generousity has set a new standard in this forum!

cats have very small livers. You'll need a lot more than a lobe from Spangles the Pirate Cat's liver to swing this particular watch.

I think I need more body parts donated. C'mon, it is for a good cause!!

I dare not because I may have to return the compliment one day

I wish the dial was equally inspired.

I'm sure metalem would make a nice one for you.

Characteristic of all engineer and watchmaker, and no marketing or design department. Conceptually it is attractive but perhaps even the back is overwhelming. Cazalea

...both dials are very imbalanced, and not in a good way. Nice movement though.

. . . a more perfectly balanced design. Most impressive. Re the dial: favorable. Minutes hash marks are an excrescence, but it's purely functional otherwise, as any chronometer should be. If one of my kidneys were worth 128 Ch, I'd be tempted. ;-)

Not sure if i like the dial layout a lot . Have to see it in person to give it a good look.

On the dial side I think the opening is so large as to be distracting rather than revealing. The seconds hand (and this is an objection I have with many independents) is massive. The case is huge, both in diameter and height; and not necessarily so as man... 

Dial side should be discarded and something new should be created from scratch. Love the effort on the backside..... Darren

What do you think? They rotate cw and ccw. Pic from monochrome. ...  

Love the movement side a lot more though.
