Some time ago I discovered Simon work thru instagram. Simon is 43 years old watchmaker located in Morbihan, Bretagne, France. He used to work for big historical brands but also for Vianney Halter or Greubel Forsey.
Here is his handmade watch, where case, dial, hands etc. are made in his workshop.
Movement is eta 2892 for this first (20pcs) project watch.
