Sweet! I think purple goes well with ice blue dial. Can't wait to see your watch

All their watches are great
Hand guilloché dial, hand-finished movement, beautifully sized case and those tear drop lugs. They are all customized and unique.

Anyone have visited the atelier lately? If so, have you seen the new CSW? Any feedback is welcome.

Tried on my wrist but I don't think it looks good on me. Nice finishing.

My wife also is against it. A friend of mine just tried it on and he still feels that the Vingt-8 and inverse are more special. I guess I will pass this time. Thanks for the input.

I would grab one as soon as it is available. It was supposed to be a 2022/2023 incoming but it’s been delayed to an “unknown” now. If it shows up in 2025, I would consider myself very lucky.

My AD just delivered a Vingt-8. He told me that it was an order from 2020 and 2020 was even before the craze...

This information does not inspire confidence. He also delivered a Voutilainen Tourbillon not long ago. It took 10 years but the good news is that the collector paid the same price as 10 years ago. I think we all just have to hunker down and be patient.

The movement/dial outline reminds me of the Patek 5110 World Time.

Yeah..just tried to forget about it and be pleasantly surprised when it shows up.

I am a little surprised he is still willing to take deposits tbh. The interest free loans via deposits is nice though I guess lol

This is what my AD told me last week as well. 2030 is the new delivery timeline for latest orders placed.

It actually works against him since the price is frozen when deposit is made. Imagine someone who ordered a Tourbillion and received it 10+ years later when the price is 3-4x already.

Curious.. How much down payment is needed. What's the list price currently for the vingt 8 ?

Not sure about the price since everything is bespoke so price can vary greatly. And I think there were some price increases lately.

Deposit is 30% and the price is fixed when you put down the deposit.

20% (CHF 19,160) deposit, and my platinum V8 is CHF 95,800.

How much is the inverse? I can imagine it being substantially more expensive given it has 12 more interior angles than a Vingt-8.

It was more, but I guess it doesn’t really matter since it’s kind of all the same at that point.

I went tantalum too.

There’s a new version of the movement btw. Different specs. I like the dial side a lot more but it loses the pr iirc
