personal opinion of course but this is imo a piece of art



Picture via instagram @waitlisted

Florent Lecomte his second series.
Long long very long ago this started as an Unitas.
But everything changed and was hand made.

His own dial, screws, bridges, balance wheel, ...
On the back among the most beautiful hand made high polished sharp inward angles.
Hand engraved

More than 200 hours work per piece

Nice piece….you sure it’s working hours only? That would translate into 25 days of working only.

That’s the reason why he makes only 12 pieces during 2 years

The back is even more insane. I’m still sad I missed out.

The back has indeed 5 or 6 sharp inward angles and from the best quality you can imagine
But on the other hand the front is so nice
Also that in-house made balance wheel is so special to look at
The hand engraving is done by a master
