Amazing hand-engraving
This 30CP was made by Christian Lass (watchmaking) and Hannelore Lass (hand-engraving) for Ben aka @1815chronofan.
The "waves" dial was designed as a way to celebrate their shared connection to the water (near which they each live in their own place) and to each other.
Below is a test of surface structure made by Hanne Lass.

I find this hand-engraved dial amazing.
What about you?
Thanks for looking.
Best, Emmanuel

Looks executed at the highest level of craftmanship. Impressive
Thanks for sharing, Emmanuel. Best regards, Alex
Yes, really impressive.
I like the feeling that a machine could never have produced such an engraving: here, hand engraving takes on its full meaning. Best, Emmanuel
I thought this was a piece unique:
did they make more than one with such a waves dial? Anyway, I’m sorry that you couldn’t get one! Such a wonderful engraving. Best, Emmanuel
Admittedly, I love the engraving....
But the dial overall leaves me sort of neutral. I'd love to see this engraving in a shaped case!!....
I like the overall aesthetic beyond just the dial engraving.
Is this independent another hyped, overpriced brand? If not, I’m interested to delve further into his offerings. Thanks for highlighting his work here.
My pleasure.
I don’t know if they are overpriced: I have never contacted them. But demand is probably greater than the quantity they are able and willing to produce. Best, Emmanuel
What a beautiful watch . The attention for detail on that dial is incredible.
Love that movement. Hope to see one of these in person at some point
