Thanks for the reply Mitch.
My tastes too are varied, and happy to cross from small to big and back again in terms of brands. And wholeheartedly agree with your last comment, and I think all here probably agree too; there is most certainly something special about the real small operations working watch to watch.
Im looking forward to digging into the book. I got a little preview listening to the Podcast over the weekend with your friend from down under.
Christian Lass 30CP
Beautifully executed Finely finished Interesting mechanism to regulate the escapement. Finely finished A welcomed addition to the family. ...
Thanks - ltd to 50. Not sure how many have been delivered so far.
Engraving incredible thanks to Hannelore Lass.
Never heard of this
That dial is spectacular! Love the big seconds dial and the shape of the 2’s and the flourish on the 4!
Very fine danish watchmaking.
The see-through case back would deserve a shot too for the pleasure of our eyes!
Fantastic piece
Many congratulations Mitch. Beautiful execution of case and dial. Not very often the watchmaker himself makes the case. Even using some of the same hand operated lathes used by Patek making models such as the 2499! Hannes hand engravings on the dial makes...
Yes I am impressed with the workmanship all the way around.
Certainly worth the wait.
Huge congratulations Mitch. This is truly a remarkable watch.
Christian and Hanne are very talented.
I look forward to meeting them sometime soon.
There is some interesting watchmaking happening in Denmark. Am expecting another piece from another Viking watchmaker.
Haha. I love it, Mitch! Svend Andersen has done so many wonderful pieces and with such a great creativity
I think it’s a little unfair how little exposure he gets.
I agree. He has technical creativity and humor. Witness his erotic pieces (no I don't have one, not my style and certainly not my wife's.
His Secular Perpetual deserves much appreciation. IWC is so proud of theirs, released this year, while Svend produced his decades ago and yet it flies under the radar.
Huge congratulations, one really good looking and beautiful watch 👌🏻😘
Hope to see one in person one day.
Yes. Ordered this on the recommendation of a friend sight unseen.
Well worth the wait. So happy to have it home.
Wow Mitch another amazing addition as usual to your
Very exquisite and very refined collection I guess that’s another reason for me to come in the summer
Looking forward to your next visit and further evenings
of good food, drink and conversation
Magical Mitch.
It’s a very specific or particular type of watch. Old school maybe would be a way I think of it in today’s watch world. Would love to hear any thoughts you have on folks doing it the way Christian is doing it versus where we are more broadly in the high e...
First of all, I hope you enjoy the book and it makes for a good traveling companion. As for the independent world, there are certainly different "categories" of independents.
There are those with relatively big operations and then there are those who operate alone or with a small team to help them achieve their vision. All have the advantage of not having to answer to a corporate hierarchy though some of the bigger independent...

WOW, congratulations!
I don't use the term 'grail-worthy' very often but it would definitely apply to this watch! This to me is what small batch independent watchmaking is all about. Can you share a shot of the back, too?
Congratulations, Mitch.
Had an opportunity to handle one of these pieces earlier in the year. Beautiful watch!
Totally agree. I am partial to the RG case.
The engraving is topnotch. Kudos to Christian. And he is a really nice guy.
