Congratulations on your new watch!
I am very excited to see your photos when it comes in! I agree with you 100% about the movement in this watch. It is more than acceptable considering the craftsmanship going into the case, dial, and other components. Thank you for the podcast link, I will check that out!
Handmade case for less than 10,000 USD: James Lamb 'Origin'
More exciting news in the independent sphere this week: There is a new brand on the block! James Lamb is an English engineer and watchmaker who may be known by some as J.N. Shapiro's crown supplier. Lamb has now launched his own brand, and with it his fir...
It will definitely be a non-starter for some because of the movement
Especially in the world of independents, it seems that unique movement layouts and fancy finishing are given a lot credence. Personally, the use of a more standard movement here does not bother me. It will run well and servicing will be very easy. I think...
I have number 01 coming in the post now. Will share pics and thought once it arrives.

Congratulations and good for you on stepping out your comfort zone!
And for supporting the Independant’s, this watch looks great. I have 2 Sartory Billard’s from France on order, an SB04 for me ($5500) and a SB05 ($11,000) for my wife Russetta, two different (off the shelf) movements (the SB05 movement is much nicer) and ...

Those look spectacular! And the fact you are sharing this hobby with your wife and you both get to enjoy unique watches made just for you is just so special! That’s why I find independent watchmakers so exciting. Their willingness to be daring and accommo...
James Lamb s/n 01 landed on the wrist.
Quick wrist shot for my James Lamb Origin “Elements” s/n 01 38.5mm Argentium silver handmade case; stunning enamel dial. Absolutely in love with this watch. The dial catches the light beautifully and has an incredible depth to it. James makes each case en...
