Torsti Thursday - any other Laines around?

May 23, 2024,07:32 AM
 

It may be based around a relatively humble movement but with the finishing work put into it the overall result is pretty sweet - at least IMHO. This is the cronotempVs Silver Spur version, with a German Silver dial. Any other Laines around? If yes, please join in πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘πŸ»πŸ€žπŸ»

I just couldn't justify waiting. But Torsti's work seems really incredible. Glad you own one, and the cronotempvs one at that!

I hear you…

Having one or two other watches helped with waiting πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Which one were you thinking about?

I was thinking V38 with purple fired hands/numerals on slate grey or ice blue pattern A dial.

Partly because it was more compact, which I like in this style of watch/case, and also because of the many interior angles, which would've been a first for me! I don't know if he could accommodate purple hands, but I thought I'd ask...and then I didn't. S... 

It’s not a chance fully missed…

I believe commissions are still expected and if some of the pictures here make you change your mind about the wait… 😁😁😁

I got mine without waiting. Without even thinking about it, in fact

I tried it on at a dealer’s showroom, liked it but (as one does), tried on a few other watches, had a drink, talked to another customer, and finally said to my wife, β€œI’m ready to leave now.” She handed me a bag. I said β€œWhat’s this??” She said β€œThat watc...  

Great looking. Congrats.

Great watch, awesome Stowa too!

What a story!

And of course, what a wife! πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ» Really nice one you have been gifted there - suits you really well. Does that mean you are no longer that partial to the vintage square GS with a similar dial? πŸ˜πŸ˜‰πŸ€žπŸ»

Wonderful story!

indignantdenial, truly custom made to YOUR specs does take a bit of time.

Sorry to hear about your dire situation with a lack time. Hopefully it gets better soon as my wife waited for hers and she truly LOVES it PS: There are only a small few for sale online, have you looked? ...  

Wow - what a spectacular specimen!

Really like the design choices your wife made - hat off πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

That he most certainly does πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

She certainly has great taste πŸ‘πŸ»

That's a great point.

I think it might be next. I have the watches I want at the minute, but not this one yet. You're tempting me!

Considering it takes some months to hand craft to your personal specifications, order now for the holidays.

It'll be your little treat for the festive season (‾◑◝)

Thx my friend.

Those details are so pronounced and distinct...looks fantastic!

Top shot and watch!
