my very first indie. got it preowned, amazing price and the dial is beautiful

From the site
"These are not mounted appliqués. On the contrary, the base of the dial has been cut out and removed so that the logo, numerals and seconds circle remain. A task that also requires meticulous care to create clean edges. The top of the numerals, logo and seconds circle were also given a flat polish finish. A single dial can take an engraver several days to complete."

Can we have a wrist shot please. I read this is 50mm l2l so wondered how it fit. Beautiful watch in any event!

It is a bit large, but not overly. Here it is on my 6.7-6.8” wrist. Probably at the limit of what I feel comfortable wearing r this type of watch.

Thicker than it appears here. Almost 12mm

These really are very special watches. I just love 'em. No dealer in the UK, but hoping to check out the AD next time I am in Tokyo or Dusseldorf.

i think they have very few point of sale in the world. I am lucky there's 1 in Singapore

Thank you for all your kind words. i hope its not a slippery slope down indie watch making because i only have so much funds to go around

I was able to try on the gold reference with the heat purpled hands...I think a tad big for my 6.6 in. wrists ? Such a wonderful dial.

That’s my one gripe with the brand. They make fantastic watches but they wear just a little too big. I wish they’d make the lugs smaller or taper better. Still amazing brand.

ahh looks alittle big on you.
this piece took cues from a pocket watch, that's why it looks alittle big for a dress watch.
but you definitely can un-formal it with a suede strap

You're correct, and I passed on it. I haven't seen them with different straps but that would look great for sure.
