Hard to photograph but I will keep on working on it.



Oh, great on your hopeful allocation. I’ve been following these guys since 2019 and connecting directly with them since 2020. These watches are coming out slowly and think it should take three years or so to complete all 25. Just a guesstimate. But, damn is it worth it.

Did you put a deposit?

No I didn't as the AD didn't allow it. There was a typo in my post, it should be Dec 2021 instead Jan 2021. From what you say, I guess I was late and out of the first-25-customer list Anyway, what a beautiful backside and congrats on your acquisition of this piece

@huydoan, not sure what the AD will do with their allocations so definitely not implying you are too late. If going directly to them, yes. Those allocations were done a long time ago. However, check out some of the others and try to get in early. Xhevdet Rexhepi just put an IG post with a teaser and the watch is scheduled to be out in April. I am guessing it will be a smash hit.

Nicely done! Yes, I am a HUGE fan of Simon, too. Awesome! You put a deposit for him? Simon is exceptional.

I was late for his upcoming subscription series. But he gives me some interesting news and I hope this will be a successful year for Simon after what he has achieved so far.

Check back with him and see if he is taking orders. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

thank you. I communicated with him just a few days ago. If you don't mind, could you DM me to share what complication did you make the deposit and the price range? I hope the price is within budget and complication is easier to maintain when compared to Tourbillon.

Resurrecting this thread. What’s the best way to register interest with Simon for his upcoming timepiece?

Thanks!

[enjoythemusic]

Hmmm, he's on Linkedin. DM him there I guess.

Hey hypernova, other members are right on target. Write him via IG:

His first piece is out on April 12 - just 4 days away. I can’t wait for that.

A Simon Brette needed after all the discussion in months past.

Absolutely incredible watch and an even nicer guy. Wish I could fast forward to 2027 then rewind to 2023.

Simon is indeed an enthusiastic and kind man. Had a chance... too... yet the personal family situation means caution for now. Major congrats to those who receive one

Congratulations!

Given he only makes 12 pcs per year, 2027 is not bad at all.

That is an amazing watch. Just wow. Love the design language.
