Today, an Young Watchmaker - Remy Cools launches his first subscription timepiece !

Jun 19, 2020,05:01 AM
 

I'm happy for multiple reasons...


  • an Young watchmaker embarking in his journey, imho this is important so to have fresh blood in the 'traditional' industry !
  • Remy is just 23 years old and if he makes this now...I'm very sure his future is bright if he keeps his focus & keep learning with the craft !!
  • He is one of the 3 the young talents who won the FP.Journe award in 2018...a good sign !!!
  • Last but not least, he worked learning the art from Greubel Forsey !!!!
The Substription Tourbillon he introduce today is an improvement of His first School Watch...

Not beating around the bush...I let the pics of his timepiece do the talking...

40mm x 15mm Stainless Steel Tourbillon (7mm sapphire) limited to only 9 pcs !



NO Crown !!



Winning the FPJ talent award in 2018.


I wish him big success and I suggest you to visit his website too.

share your thoughts...

Best,
mahesh.,

I shall definitely look Remy up and I love the creativity of the young watchmakers. Ok I have looked him up. 85,000 euros for a first effort even though it is a tourbillon is a big ask but then again, that is how Rexhep Rexhepi started out and we all know... 

Thanks Sham...i didn't see any pricing but 85k euros is steep in deed !

Breathe of fresh air to see the younger generation

Adhere to the horology, it’s a beautiful thing to see such a young guy make a masterpiece as this. Yellow is not really a color that would draw me in/make a deposit. No winder as well would be an exhausting mental adjustment as well. -Alan

True Alan, in deed the pleasure of winding with the crown as Sham mentioned above would be missed...but again 'new thing' in life keeps it interesting isn't it ;-)

i'm not sure the 'yellow' is a picture effect or reality...better to see them in metal imho. i feel it should be close to FPJ gold dials but i've not seen this physically either. thanks for sharing your thoughts ! Best, mahesh.,

I saw this earlier today -very impressive.

It feels like a watch we see at auction in 40 years from now with an extra 1 in front of the price.

ha ha...i like the fact it is a 'fresh thought' of a watch maker, uninfluenced by any 'marketing department' !

for the auction prices...it is best left to the future to decide ;-) Best, mahesh.,

+1

Looks very promising and hope to get a close look at some point in the near future

i think it would be great to see in metal !

it is also good move, the timepiece was scaled down from 42 to 40mm.

I hope he makes our, but the...

Price is too steep and the style not for me.

Maybe, if he established... (nt)

Indeed smart conception and very promising, and not only that but also very good looking I am sure we are going to hear more about it, definitely cool Merci Mahesh

oui Mike, i love the 'floating' effect of the chapter ring...nice touch

made with Unitas parts? Is it still the same with this watch? The d'Ecole watch was 42mm and this 40mm. thanks

Couldnt find his website

but I compared the Instagram pics of the current watch with the old watch from the various blog sites, yes it does look slightly different. Thanks!
