Man, I almost ordered this watch
I really liked it in pictures, I debated, I ordered pamphlets, received them... but in the end, I didn't feel thel 'urge to splurge.'
Still, I will be very excited to see this man's work in pics--congratulations to the future owners!!

Half Year Update from Volker!
Hi All, Sorry this is not an update to tell you that I have received my watch. I sent an email to Volker and received a reply from Micahel who is Volker's brother. Michael has taken over the communication. He mentioned that: "he is making good progress bu...
Did you know
Volker also planted and grew the trees from which he will craft the box?
Is that on his alligator farm?
After all, straps must be made! If I recall properly, the straps are also supposed to be lined in natural rubber, so there's the rubber tree plantation to be cultivated as well. All joking aside, these watches are going to make for the greatest watch dinn...
Some hope! With photos...
I have also corresponded with Michael Vyskocil over the past week, and he was kind enough to provide the following photos, taken in late May and early June of this year (yes, I checked the image metadata): I know that many of us have been waiting for a wh...
Nice photos
Hi Gary I received the same photos and a few more that I am sure you did not post here. If not let me know and I will fwd to you. Alex, I think I see your bridge sitting there. I can see your name engraved on it, along with a date.... is that your order d...

Wanted to be a bit circumspect
...and not include all of the photos, just a couple that showed semi-finished work products. I may well end up being sorry in the end, but for now I continue to hope! Best, Gary G
I am convinced...
that this watch will be the most personal watch ever produced. I can't imagine another maker putting that much efforts, thoughts, energy and love into his products, even facing the danger of alienating some clients. I am really looking forward to this fin...
Agreed Magnus
Totally agree with you on that one. I think Volker could possibly make more money writing a book about his experiences with some photos of the process!

You know, I don't know...
whether I ordered one or not - I remember some discussions with a retailer who supports Volker, but I have to find out what we agreed back then... What a strange situation! Cheers, Magnus
I tried to order one, but think....
I was put on a wait list way back when. Not sure if I moved into the order pile as folks dropped out. Or, maybe I'm still on the wait list. Or, VV may have no record of me whatsoever. In any event, I do look forward to seeing this one when completed. Darr...
Summer -which year?
I know we have all asked this question before! I have had follow up conversations with Michael and I was asking for the latest dial pictures. He said he was happy to do it but prefer to wait till later since Volker is doing some baic work on the dial for ...
Life would be meaningless without hope.
As long as Volker is still alive and he has not abandoned the project, there is still hope. Perhaps, Volker will give a big surprise to the owners upon delivery. Happy waiting! Regards Ling
Always good to see some level of...
activity from Volker. This may be a watch for the grandchildren but it should be a precious one! tempusfugit
