Another fantastic question! I can only say so much!
For instance, a lot of the parts suppliers are small firms that supply other independents, and some solution consulting firms that supply both small and large firms. But considering the case, the case with that unique crown mechanism was produced by a close friend of David Candaux's. The two worked closely together to get that case realized! The two went back and forth and collaborated on how to adapt the push button crown mechanism into the case and had to work closely to achieve the final vision. This push button crown mechanism has become a signature feature of Candaux's timepieces.
Presenting Philippe Dufour Mentee David Candaux Watches; Ever seen a Titanium Movement.
An introduction to David Candaux Watches, a watchmaker mentored by Philippe Dufour who has mastered the art of crafting watches in titanium. Not just titanium cased watches - but titanium movements! David Candaux (photo from DC Press Kit) We all have hear...
They are indeed my dear Moderator M4!
I'm a big anglage person and I have to say, I really liked that big thick plate with a big polished edge. That was decadent.
Outstanding watchmaking.
Thank you so much for the introduction Patrick. I particularly love the 30 degree tourbillon with the rose gold dial and green textile strap! What a marvelous combination of elements.... Cheers, Filip
I do too. The one I was wearing had the 30 degree tourbillon - I didn't want to take it off!
They do need to loan one to me for a review. I haven't reviewed a Tourbillon since the Vacheron Constantin 6000T Tourbillon!
I remember that review of yours exceptionally well!
I can't wait for more reviews of that nature šš....
Romain Gauthier and Greubel Forsey have used titanium bridges.
Omega as well in the ultra light seamaster. Regardless, David's pieces are unique in terms of movement, design and finishing.
I didn't know about the Omega!!! Thank you for telling me this!
You are on top of it Als1678! Yes! You are right! I am impressed! Next time, if I hear of special materials, I'm going to drag you out to inspect the watch with me! As I need my materials expert with me! Thank you for volunteering! (I'm joking, you did no...
The only reason I vividly remember this Omega fact....
is the truly outrageous price of the watch š
....
Great and amazing watches .
During the last W&W i went to his presentation and was able to play with a few of his models. ...
Somehow I'm a little late in responding to you!
Apologies! I like that model you're wearing! The one with the guilloche!
These David Candaux watches really are special and different I especially like the dials on them.
I only have one slight issue which is his tag line of " Handmade by D. Candaux The creator of time" he is indeed a creator of time pieces but time itself I don't think so. Marc
And presumably āhandmadeā is a bit of stretch too.
Not to single out Mr Candaux here, or take away from the watches.
Yes ! Many times. Have you seen any of my posts over the last year ???
Iām just poking you a little, and all in jest, or more precisely poking at the thread title. Romain Gauthierās C is of course not just a titanium case but also a titanium movement. And perhaps finished better than this Candaux watch (but perhaps I just ha...
You're absolutely right!
I remember the Romain Gauthier movement is titanium. I actually didn't remember until now that the case was titanium. The Candaux movement with the super thick plate where he did the big thick anglage is quite special. The Romain Gauthier movement is inde...
This new Candaux watch was here to see last week and unfortunately I couldnāt make it.
Itās a shame, as it does look interesting. Any information on who is producing the parts for him? I do wonder, it being titanium if thereās another known party assisting on production.

Hmmm. Need to ask some suppliers I know then I guess.
The case looks very cool, and interesting, to me. I donāt think itās an everyday watch if you have only this watch. Similarly to how I think about an Urwerk, DB etc (in terms of usual cases). But I could certainly see this being a very cool, and enduring,...
Wow
Greubel has done a very bad job comparatively of finishing their titanium components like those in the convexe. Kind of shocked! š³
Yes! He was involved in the Antoine Minute Repeater!
That titanium minute repeater you have!
Ahh. I stand corrected.
I thought he said the Antoine Minute Repeater to me. But, you know me, my French needs improvement.
