3rd update (added dome clocks), 2nd update: 1st update: Hi All, Here is a “quick & dirty” pictorial peek into 2025 rare handcrafts, and this is a WIP (work-in-progress) post created in-between my coffee and bathroom breaks 🤣. New photos will be added
as I get more time in-between packing, eating, and going to the airport for the W&W trip.
When I visit the salon and see the pieces in the metal, I will provide more photos, information and commentaries. If there are specific pieces you want more details on, please let me know and I will do my best to oblige.
Yours truly the self-proclaimed enamel addict/slave is getting very warm seeing the photos so far ! What are your thoughts ?

I can’t wait to see them all, but that Ellipse with the blue leaves is right up my alley.
Agreed. The iridescence of the leaves is amazing.
Would love to know more about how they created the effect. Pure enamel, cloisonné etc.
Very nice, in particular that Parrot is amazing
I also love the deer micro-painting. However, while I often really like the somewhat monochromatic micro-painting rare handcraft pieces that Patek puts out - it is hard to look away from the pieces that have the more vivid colors. Having seen one of the p...
Thanks Gordon giving us such a quick pictorial preview of the 2025 rare handcrafts.
Among all these beautiful timepieces, my favorite one will be the minute repeater with the horse motif. Please keep them coming.......

Do you know if there will be an exhibition of the handicrafts at the Geneva Salon this year and if so when?!
You will
if you have the 11am slot on Wednesday 9 April. I have timed my trip to Geneva to intentionally miss all the watch shows so I arrive late on Monday night 7 April after the shows end. This way the chances of buying anything is slim and my wife still gets t...
