I do love the Independant watch world and own many of them…
All the ones you nmentioned, chain and fusse, resonance, tourbillion etc, just the shear effort they put into doing something, that as you say, is just to do it and not really do so much about accuracy, is remarkable. My wife and I I just visited Kari Voutilainen at his work shop in Switzerland and had a two hour meeting/tour with him, and yes I bought a very expensive watch but the value is there even in this crazy world. When you buy a unique piece of one I guess showing off and bragging rights come to mind

As it changes colour........
It's a leap of faith (often expensive) to purchase a watch without having seen it or trying it on.... This is particularly the case I find....the simpler and most stripped-away the watch dial becomes. I was comfortable with everything I knew about the Cre...
It IS dangerous to meet your heros
But this is one that can live up to it. Congratulations.
Great shots Halcro!
And congratulations on steeping out were few have gone…What a wonderfully beautiful watch, I am ordering the one in platium with the blue dial. They are rare so I’m not sure how long it will take but in my mind this watch is like buying a much less expens...
Congratulations Jim...
I agree with your comments. And when you compare what these uber-expensive independents bring to the party for their mega-dollar asking prices....is a useless torbillon, constant-force, fusee chain or resonance, intended to increase the accuracy of a gene...
:-) Halcro, I have some of those time only independant watches!
I guess it’s all relative…the Credor is exceptional for the price and why not have both if you can do it? Seiko is still a huge company so I like to spread the wealth around and help the little guy…Jim
Hehehe.....
I have nothing against these uber-expensive time-only models from the Independents.....and find them highly entertaining 😍 But let's stop pretending that they are created for any other reason than that they CAN.... because the money and market is now ther...

Eichi II
When I first saw the Eichi II I was awestruck . Yes the dial is simple but it’s one of the most elegant watches I had ever seen. Since they only make about 20 a year you won’t see that many either. I decided on the gold version but I don’t think I would b...
20 per year of all THREE versions....
Which means possibly 6 or 7 of each individual model....? They normally quote a waiting list of 1 year for the Eichi II at the Grand Seiko Boutique.... but I got lucky and had mine in two months 🎉🎁🎉🎉 Hope you also get lucky...
