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 😊🇫🇮

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

What are the diameter and thickness? Also, any movement pics?

Never managed to do a lume shot of mine so far 😊👍🏻

Only have one old pic I took of the movement - and most certainly don’t do it justice (see below). The base is humble but the finishing is lovely, especially in this price range. Maybe someone else has better movement shots. As for size, I believe it’s 40mm but will check (traveling today).

Very versatile, too - with different straps it nicely dresses up or down 😊👍🏻
