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.
