Incredible...
Amazing how the caseback on its own is beautiful, and beneath it is even more beauty. Congratulations.
Biggest congrats!

Love your version. Rose gold and grey dial is almost a guaranteed stunning combo! Add the contrast silver subdials! Congrats to your group of NorCal gang too! Keep them coming, your groups collection is stunning and have been growing faster than the Chine...
The torch

...was a trick from my teacher, who said that I could use a cone-shaped filter to throw a spot of light on the dial of a watch and also that I could "light paint" using a flashlight/torch to add some light to straps and other dark elements of the watch. I...
Congrats Gary

while the look of this is not in my vein, I think from a movement pov, it appears interesting enough. Did kari work off some ebauche here or did he totally developed it base up? Also, when you say semi-instantaneous, that means? Thanks for posting and enj...
Thanks and good questions

Great questions, Arthur! First of all, I recognize that no watch is to everyone's taste, and appreciate your honesty in saying so -- a bit boring if everyone loved everything! I will follow up with a new post on the origins of the movement -- pretty clear...
Kari is a lucky man...

...to have the confidence and the support of the NorCal 'gang', and to have this latest piece exposed by an emerging master of the reveal. What sensational engraving also! Regard closely the blade of the scythe; the way it has been polished you could beli...
Wow, congratulations Gary

What a fantastic time it should have been to collaborate with the master during this period. The made to measure is another world with a lot of involvment of both sides. Fabulous piece for what it is and what it means for the owner. Wear it in good health...
Thanks, Damjan

I was going to post a notice alerting you not to damage your eyes on these photos :-) None of these is going to Australia quite yet, but pplater has a knack for ending up with some of "my" watches so one never knows. Of course, as is well known he is not ...
Thanks, OpC!

I really wanted an engraving by Eddy and pondered for a long while before the idea of Chronos hit me. This was a couple of years ago, by the way -- before some others started using Chronos in engravings of their own... Appreciate your note! Best, Gary
Thank you, Daos!

Great to have this piece in hand at last! It may be a while before we can get a group shot of all six pieces -- some final movement tweaks are underway on some, some cosmetic things on another -- but as soon as all is in readiness I will snap away. Such i...
Great work of engraving...

Hi Gary, First, congratulations on such a beautiful masterpiece. The engraving is superb. Although the next photo that reveals the movement makes the movement a bit dull! I know Kari's finishing, no doubt on that but what i meant is the artwork of the eng...
Interesting perspective!

Who knows -- some day I may go back to Kari and Eddy to engrave the bridges on this movement! I did purposely ask for a rhodium treatment rather than gold in order to provide a contrast to the RG case. For me it looks quite nice, but I do understand that ...
