sublime new watch from an independent

don't have much more details now

only 12 will be made
Lecomte makes this all by himself. he doesn't work with staff
Will take him probably up to 2 years to deliver the 12 pieces

I absolutely love it.

If you want more info, go to instagram and look for LECOMTE_WATCHMAKER












base is a unitas but as you can see 100% reworked and extremely well hand finished
dial inhouse, bridges in-house, balance wheel in-house, ....

Apparently already sold out. Curious how much these go for, look pretty neat

indeed already sold out, I saw this too on his IG

Now if you make only 12 pieces I'm not surprised its immediately sold out. He could have sold 100
So I asked him why only 12
The reason is .... He has a wife and 2 kids and this is not his main job. He is a professor at a watchmaking school in France near the Swiss border.
So he has to find time to make these.
It takes about 200 hrs to make 1 watch ...
In that cast you can't make 100 pce or the last pieces would be delivered in 70 years :-)
