Add up: my feedback

I've just seen this exhibition today and I must say I'm still in my dreams ...

I've seen for the first time the DB Maya : incredible work, so precise and beautiful (I understand it's the work of a well known engraver in Switzerland and that she carried on specially this project for DB). Maybe the most beautiful DB dial ...

I could look at the Vingt-8 for the first time too and I always wanted to know how really was the finishing compared to Lange or other specialists. One word: perfection.

The DB25QP is still beautiful, the Vianney H QP is perfect in sizing and very well balance (something I didn't find obvious before), the Upside down Balouard is still a watche I really like.

I must say I've been really impressed by the Bovet's you showed when I saw them: so thin, so fine finishings, beautiful engravings etc ... A very nice surprise.

Happy you talked about this very interesting woman with us, I could discuss about many subjects concerning Indies and this is really, as I always thought, a very different world.

Cheers,

Mark

An orgy of wristshots!

By: foversta : October 6th, 2012-15:05

The context of these pictures was a presentation organised in Paris by Ekaterina Sotnikova who distributes the hereafter brands or production from independant watchmakers. All these pictures were taken today. Is it not a true hommage to independant watchm...

That "Septagraph" look is intriguing...

By: KIH : October 6th, 2012-17:51

... I am very curious. Very nice looking. Having such a wide range of products, luck her! Ken

I am wondering how it works too...

Septagraph

By: foversta : October 7th, 2012-13:38

Actually, it is quite easy. Every day but not at the same time (the subdial displays these time slots), the 90mn countdown starts. You have to dedicate these 90mn just for you, just to think about your life, a blessing time just for you. A true hedonist w...

From a Long-Ago Press Release

By: aaronm : October 7th, 2012-20:58

That Borgeaud sent me back in June of 2011 when the watch was announced. It is PR, so don't blame me for the florid prose! a Watchmaking and astronomy, as we know, have been related since the dawn of time. Among all the calendars conceived by humanity, th...

Wow, what great looking pieces. [nt]

By: doubleup : October 6th, 2012-20:11

Indeed and the most impressive was to be able to see them at the same time! [nt]

Q1 - the 2nd Bovet....does one use the 12 o'clock crown to adjust for both city indicators

By: Hororgasm : October 6th, 2012-20:36

Best, Horo

Dear Horo..

By: foversta : October 7th, 2012-13:42

My understanding is that the 12 o'clock crown is used to wind the watch and to set the time. Both zones are set thanks to pushers. It is obvously a Dimier Tourbillon, this watch is a kind of evolution of the Harry Winston Z5 which also uses a Dimier movem...

I saw few HW waches live, very nice pieces [nt]

Q2 ...I assume the outer ring goes anti clockwise and inner ring goes opposite?

By: Hororgasm : October 6th, 2012-20:40

Do you have a movement shot? Best, Horo

Which watch are you talking about Kevin? Still the Bovet? [nt]

Q3 - the "Chinese" horoscope looking DeBethune....

By: Hororgasm : October 6th, 2012-20:44

I counted 20 symbols surrounding the inner dial with a weird looking dragon motif.....does it do anything but tell time? Love the sapphire glass hands...stroke of genius, really. Best, Horo

Its a Mayan calendar Horo...

By: moc : October 7th, 2012-01:44

To commemorate this year s end of...the world. Sublime dial,one of the finest I have seen lately,nothing moves but boy there is a lot to look at... LE of 12 obviously,so this is a very rare wristshot...... Same caliber of the DB25 manual with mirror finis...

Is it the end of the world already or again??

By: Hororgasm : October 7th, 2012-03:07

Well, hope it happens after SalonQP, which I will be attending again this year. Will see you circa 9th Nov, and posting a general notice in HoMe soon. Will be part work part play for me, and visiting my Alma Mater Bristol again. PM you. Best, Horo

Mo answered you properly!

By: foversta : October 7th, 2012-13:45

At least while dying, you will be able to enjoy the beautiful hands of the watch. ;) Fx

Oh dear this is a real orgy....

By: moc : October 7th, 2012-01:48

By: aldossari_faisal : October 7th, 2012-16:05

on this level of quality makes me seriously believe that watchmaking is one of the true metal art if not the most true art of metal.... Thanks For sharing Fx. Faisal

I wouldn't be able to choose only one if I had to,

I had the good fortune of visiting this exhibition just after it opened, and was given a comprehensive showing of these masterpieces by Mrs Sotnikova. Once again I was struck by the realisation that photographs, no matter how expertly taken, cannot begin ...

Wow that's some serious wrist shot porn!! [nt]

So many pieces to love...

By: elliot55 : October 17th, 2012-22:01

... just like an orgy... FX - are you kidding me? Unbelievable pix! What is the deal with that Gronenfeld One Hertz? Wow! Does that mean the second hand is a dead beat? The DB (second one) looks like it might also remote control the spaceship that belongs...
