Laine watches ?
Hello all,
Anyone heard of this relatively new brand?
My AD introduced this brand to me. Watches uses generic movement but have a high degree of hand finishing and price is reasonable.
They make their own dial.
I am interested in one of their Gelidus collection which is a simple 3hand manual wind watch.
Any feedback will be appreciated as there is so little info on line.

A black dial with roman index while ordered from Torsti directly sometimes ago. It is not as sophisticated as other independent but for me, giving me happiness due to its exclusivity and also close discussion with the person who made the watch for you.
