Independent Watchmaking German Silver Movements

Explore the Laine Silver Spur's unique German silver dial and lumed features. KMII's review and community insights reveal why this independent Finnish watch offers exceptional value.

KMII's initial post highlights the distinctive German silver dial of the Laine Silver Spur, a feature that sets it apart from the brand's more common guilloché offerings. This article delves into KMII's appreciation for the watch's unique aesthetic and practical lumed elements, underscoring the charm and thoughtful execution often found in independent watchmaking.

Here forming the dial of the Laine Silver Spur (the cronotepVs version). It has a very different appeal from their guilloche’d dials but one that really works for me.

As a small surprise, the hands are lumed and there are small, almost invisible dots at the hour markers, so if you power it up with a phone torch it will remain legible throughout a full night.

The charm of small, independent creations 😊🇫🇮

As said, time for the cashmere to take a rest 😁👍🏻

Fortunately there’s leather, too 😁 Glad you like the combination (blue stitching and straps ides to match the hands) 👍🏻🙏🏻

Sometimes…

Straps match wonderfully with watches, even when purchased years prior for a completely different piece 😁😂
