Descubrimiento by Pedro Izquierdo (Peter Left)

Hello guys, a few weeks ago I posted some pics of the 'Mosca' made by Pedro Izquierdo. I will show you here my new Descubrimiento cronograph ;) 2 Pics, I may post more if anybody want them. Also, if anybody want, I can post some of his repair and restoration work in old/vintage watches.

Thanks for the photos!

The movement looks good, does he make all the parts himself? The escapement looks like a Nivarox or similar.

Hello Jedi, It is a modified 7750, bicompax, etc.. and decorated by Pedro with his modifications. The spring is Nivarox.

That was told to me by Pedro a few mins ago

Ah yes! Thanks Antonio, I just looked back at the caseback photo and could see the regulation screw on top of the balance!!

Please send Pedro our best regards and to maybe show some classical designs if he has any?? By that I mean uncomplicated watches, just time and seconds.

I will do Jedi, and if you dont mind I will post some of his watches and restoration work. Here are some of them:

(All pics have been made by Santi, not me)

La Pepa 1812







Descubrimiento, gold and white dial (mine is steel )



Reconquista, it is made of white gold with rhodium coating







Indepencencia, it is only in steel if im not wrong:









I forgot to put those, 'El Mosca'





And the B-hur, it is still under manufacture and development



Against the Laco of 55mm:













Enjoy ;)
