First, I must confess that the pictures were largely supplied by Don, and I had some help from others who wished to remain anonymous (probably hoping to help me look like a better photog than I am)! You know my own eye and equipment is not so keen! I, too...

...I know you appreciate details and craftsmanship, so I do hope you have the opportunity to see this watch in the metal. It has that strange, unknowable essence that all great timepieces exhibit. Have a great week! Cheers, Daos
Thanks for the comments!

I did not do any real performance testing on it, as the watch is a prototype, but I didn't notice any real issues with time-telling while I was wearing it. I definitely enjoyed the experience of wearing Don's watch, and if I had the funds I'd definitely b...

...I felt very inspired wearing Don's watch. While I know I'll never craft a watch myself, just being close to a watch created by a fellow Purist reminded me that we can achieve our dreams through hard work. I'm very impressed with what Don has achieved i...

...about Don. I haven't met him in person, but feel I know him more after having experienced his watch. If a watch from an independent maker contains a bit of its creator's soul, then Don's is one I like. Lots of people talk the talk about wanting to buil...

...Don has just begun his watchmaking journey. In the future, I expect we'll see more unique, beautiful, and increasingly complex watches from him. I love seeing one of our own achieving his dreams, and putting forth something new and interesting into the...
Great Stuff

All before me have expressed insightful commentary on the watch and Don. In an effort not to be redundant, I will only send my heartfelt congratulations to Don and my many thanks to Daos for her eloquent, insightful and thorough reviews. Not only does she...
Thanks, Meehna!

I appreciate your kind words, and I'm glad you enjoyed the article. Don deserves the big kudos here for imagining a cool timepiece and having the gumption to bring it to fruition. Not many can say the same. Thanks for reading! Cheers, Daos
So interesting, Marcus.

Thanks for your insight about the name of the watch. I wonder if Don will change the model name, or if perhaps the name is Americanized, if you will. I find the movement so compelling. Plus the color scheme of the piece is very much to my taste. Thanks fo...
squiggly minute hand

Thanks for your marvelous report, dear Daos! As to the hands, with their attenuated tails, they remind me too much of what has been done to animal and even human anatomy for a dubious purpose. A Dobermann with clipped ears is cosmetic surgery. Serpents an...
This review made me smile

I had been interested in learning more about this watch, so the review is an excellent resource for us. Thank you both, Daos and Thomas for the excellent summary and analysis. I am a sucker for regulators. But they are usually very serious affairs, and wh...
Nice to hear from you, Ping!

You've hit the nail on the head with the use of the word "craftsman." Don deserves the moniker. His watch is the culmination of a dream, and seeing that come to pass is indeed priceless. We should all be so fortunate to achieve our own individual goals. C...
