In this insightful article, singingbee offers a detailed look at the Garrick S4, specifically highlighting the intricate finishing of its calibre BF03. His original post provides a rare glimpse into the movement's meticulously reworked ETA 6498 base, sparking a valuable community discussion on bespoke watchmaking value and finishing techniques. This piece explores the nuances of Garrick's approach to high-value independent watchmaking.

Showcasing the back of the Garrick S4. The S4 uses the hand-wound calibre BF03 which is essentially a Swiss ETA 6498 movement, meticulously reworked by Garrick.

I really loves the hand-engraved barrel/crown wheel cover and the textured finishing of the three-quarter plate. Kudos to Garrick on offering some of the best value in bespoke watches in the market.

To my understanding, engraving is done by removing materials so the engraved part is "sinking" in the base material. Here, it looks to be built on top. Or I am miss seeing things as photos can be deceptive...
