Kikuchi Nakagawa - any fellow purist owns one, i'm eager to know the feedbacks...

i'm impressed by the watch esp. with the recent white dial version he've introduced.

37mm 8,5mm thick in steel, pretty oldschool with broad lug width @ 22 mm.

printed dial...

Most components seems to be bought out - very transparently mentioned in the website

but the finishing done in-house is impressive, the level of polishing...mirror effect all over !

the hour hands...

i love the level of finish - pin from the pin buckle

i couldn't find any online reviews or material around this watch !

i must (and love to) see this watch in metal and understand more.

Best,

mahesh.,

Been following these guys for some time and really like what is being made... Believe watchesbysjx did write an article about this piece some time ago. Very curious to know as well whether any fellow purists have any thoughts to share on this one!

Yes Keks...SJX article was the only one

I was equally surprised by no video or any review online. The watch to me looks very elegant esp the white dial version. I’m sure we’ll have a fellow Purist who owns one.

I too would love to see one in the flesh!

I love the black polishing, 36.8mm case size, the absolutely gorgeous hands and the Breguet numerals. A reasonable price too at USD20,000 but quite a long waiting list I believe. A question - I know it comes with a black dial. Does it come with an off whi...

Yes the white dial was from his insta since couple of weeks

white dial is my personal favorite in deed

This for me personally is wonderful news Mahesh

I had emailed them last year and to ask if a white dial was possible and they confirmed unfortunately, only the black dial was available. Things may have changed since so I shall email them again! Thanks Mahesh!

I would love to see one. I think it is wonderfully finished externally. My only worry is that it might be too small for my monstrous arms and habit of wearing larger watches. The fact that they use outside suppliers to such an extent does not really bothe...

you've got a problem different to me ;-)

I've a smaller wrist so i tend to lean towards <40mm now a days albeit i have been using 47mm Panerais i think 37 isn't a bad size even on bigger wrists, few decades earlier 33/35 mm were mens' watch. outside supply doesn't bother me neither, I was more h...

Agreed

I admire their transparency and their work for sure. A refreshing change. I've come to the conclusion that 40mm is perfect for me. Indeed, some of my old pieces are 34-36 mm, flat, dainty dress watches. But they look real tiny on my near 19 cm wrists. I r...
