Yes unusual for RG, but very clean, simple and dare I say elegant?…Jim
That's a new level! He has a very special in-house watch you should contact him about or ask him to make a custom dial in collaboration with another independent.
I’ve talked to Josh recently and he will not do another Meteorite dial, at least in one of his watches because of the special edition he did. If I run across another Independant I will look into him making a dial. What makes Joshua’s dial special?…Jim
I'm glad he's on your radar!
His infinity pattern is one of a kind. No one else in the world has mastered that level of fine hand guilloche yet. He also screws in his chapter rings with microscrews, similar to how Roger Smith does it. Him and Smith are possibly the only two who do it this way. The tolerances required to get that right are insane. And also it comes in handy if you want to swap out a chapter ring for a new one and change the look of the dial.
Pics don’t justify the beauty of this RG . Was lucky to see it at a event a while ago . Good luck and hope you will find the right watch for you I see JLC , Omega , Arnold and S , DeBethune, Zelos , JD and a few others make a meteorite dial watch as well
