Vincent Deprez

I always have been an indepedent watch enthusiast/collector.

As some may know I already have some independents in my collection and others are in the proces of manfacturing.
Some more playful, other more classical and varying in budget.

Sometimes it takes a while to decide, for some I never pull the trigger, but only for a few it is really love at first sight.
And this was the case for the Vincent Deprez souscription tourbillon. After having only seen a few pictures, I knew this was nr.1 on my wishlist.

Contacted Vincent, he was really friendly in communication (man - the big brands can only learn how to interact with their clients from these independents) - and immediately ordered one.
Here I am a few months later in Geneva picking up my watch. And I am can say that I am a proud owner of the very first souscription tourbillon he made.
Vincent is a really nice, young very talented watchmaker. His atelier is set up in his house, and shows all his tools with such passion. Almost all of the watch is made by him for a few exceptions and all on traditional machines, no CNC. The base plate for example takes 2 to 3weeks to made.

Enough writen, now I will share some pictures of this beautifully made watch.
Enjoy,
Alex

I think he was quite successful creating his own style which is not easy and there is a strong mechanical vibe coming from the dial/open tourbillon. Just out of curiosity, how does one manage maintenance for complicated independent models, especially over... 

Wow huge Congrats.

Itโ€™s also great youโ€™re helping someone kick off their business! Itโ€™s a great win win deal. Watch lovers like us get a better product for the $ and watchmakers get to keep growing their business.

Well done Alex!

Took me less than 12 hours from discovering the brand to put down deposit. Love at first sight. Credit to Vincent and Ian (who acted as the interpreter as Vincent doesn't speak English) to respond promptly after initial contact was made.

Many congratulations!

I do love the tourbillon. A romantic complication.
