1 of 12 handmade watches
The Florent Lecomte Series 2
balance wheel, dial, bridge, ... inhouse made Hand engraved hand polished beveling and frosted dial crown and the back Perlage under the wheel, of course done by hand Very sharp inward angles ( the most difficult when speaking about hand finishing ) The big brands like Patek, AP, VC and many others don't even do it. They only have rounded angles not sharp cause rounded can be done by machine Perfect edge between frosted and hand polished beveling even the arms of the wheel are hand polished and show sharp angles Being involved from step one and having communicated many many times with the independent makes such a watch 1 billion times more special then any piece from the big brands. At least to me

Seems to me the independents are kilin' the mass producers in craftsmanship and customer service.

Congrats. Beyond the manufacturing, which is clearly to the highest standards, I like the overall design. Simple (even with the open work face) and elegant.
