My latest two
Hello everyone,
I recently finished these two and since I got the properly nice pictures today, I figured I'd share them.
Let me know what you think of if you have any questions.
Take care, Ondrej
CONGRATS on these pieces
I have been following your work closely on IG and I love the handmade look of your pieces. My one suggestion would be to refine the design of your case. Overall I think you are doing some wonderful things.
Congrats, Ondrej. I like the round case, the movement and the dial of the C case. What's the material you used for the dials? One thing, as said by thegrailwatch, you should give a better
finish to your cases, in my opinion, even if I guess your idea behind these finishings. Just to give some contrast and highlight your work on the movement and dials.
Thank you
The dial in the round case is made from Muonialusta meteorite, same as the movement bridges. The second one is made with gun blued damascus mainplate and rhodium plated bridges.
Both in damasteel cases.

I really like both designs a lot. Agree that maybe the cases would need a bit more work to make them a bit more refined [nt]

Not putting words...
...in someone's mouth, but the finish of the cases look "rough". I don't know if people realize your use of Damacus Steel on the cases.
To me your work is very nice and appreciated. Maybe people would like to see a polished case to contrast movement finish.
Lovely work and my encouragement to keep up the effort!!

That's what I'm afraid off.
I probably should have explained all the materials and ideas behind these two, as they are, afterall, pretty specific.

Good work
I like the striations on plates and face but ,I think, these should not be continued to case which should be polished, which would then highlight design on face and plates.
My preference is always for an interesting, and thus different watch.
Congratulations, good job!
Both look great, so artisanal. Love them.
Thanks for sharing.

Loving it !
I have been another one of your instagram followers and I have loved to see all of the amazing timepieces you produce with such ingenuity and uniquness. While I can understand the comments of the others about how the case's finished may not be "refined", I do feel that the current finishing one the case does add a bit of character to the watch. Of course, I am always a fan of contrast so to add a strip of mirror polish along side the case while keeping the current finsihing would be awesome. However, my tastes are a bit more unusual :P Anyway, LOVE YOU WORK, thanks for keeping us updated.
love both models, especially, the 2nd one with the retrograde date....very very nice Ondrej.... [nt]

Huge congratulations. I can't be able to choose one of the two so... this means a lot from my point of view! (about the case, I think people simply don't understand the kind of material...) [nt]

Thank you very much. I couldn't pick one myself. Fortunately i don't have to :) [nt]

Great work! I actually love the fact that the cases are not polished. What's your instagram and website? [nt]

Great work!
Really like the way you’ve composed the dial with showing and hiding mechanics. There are some thing that I’d need to see with my own eyes:
One is the case, as the Damascus layers are so fine, I think it would look better live.
Second is the dial. Even though the layout looks great, my personal aesthetics seem to say that the finishing could be more fine, so adding tons to the overall feel of quality; and if contrasting fine finishing with more rough looking surfaces, I think the overall design might not suffer. Well this is the wannabe designer in me talking, you should just ask that did he really get all of that from a couple of pics. 😅
All in all, very distinctive and good looking watches, that I expect don’t lend themselves best to photography and are crying out to be seen in flesh.
Thank you tons for sharing!
You are absolutely right, even though these pics are absolutely incredible ( cause it wasn't me who took them ), the watches look a lot better in person. [nt]
