Special shout-out to Mohannad... while on our quest to attaining Akrivia glory here are some pics...
A very kind owner (don’t know who you are but thank you, sincerely) allowed the boutique to show case his watch specifically to me.
I was so excited I forgot to even photograph the movement. Anyway it’s still wrapped up.
I have only one complain. The legibility of the hands is a bit poor due to the high standard of finishing of the dial, lots of black polishing and a lot going on as well. I wonder if they came entirely blued (blued out tips on the hour and min hand) will that look as good ? Think Roger Smith Series 2 open dial... anyway, I love this watch to bits....
Regards,
Gatsby
Incredible piece, thanks for sharing.
A watch thats on top of my wishlist. Here a movement pic from my last visit to the atelier
I met the master and his team last year. What a pleasure that was!
...I tried on a hammered silver dial watch (tourbillon? can't remember) and legibility was excellent.
Yes....ordered one quite awhile back...patiently waiting for it now, hehe
Does anyone know the lug to lug length of this piece?
