Very cool and handsome watches
Thanks for showing calling attention to this very promising upcoming brand, Francois-Xavier.
I like the whole concept and idea behind these watches. And I certain love the case, the dial design, and the movements. Well, I much prefer the numerals on the tourbillon - the font of the time-only numerals is a it mannered and not quite aesthetically pleasing IMO, but everything else is superb. It shall be interesting to see the finished result - without scratches and with more finish. But it is very very promising.

Art Deco with an industrial movement
His dial fonts and process on the simple 770 reminds me of the art deco watches. His movement is very well thought out. I appreciate the use of the maltese cross to always keep sufficient power to support a chronometer grade movement. Shock protection on ...
