Merci, Nico…
As someone who has contributed to a ‘collective design exercise’ more than once (thinking here of the several TTP, for example), you will appreciate how difficult it must be to achieve a satisfactory outcome. These folk seem to have succeeded.
Cheers,
pplater.
Waxing lyrical…
This watch doesn't seem to have been posted previously; if it has, mea culpa . In any event, this post is really a thankyou to, and acknowledgment of, the passionate and enthusiastic collector friend who made it possible (you know who you are!). The watch...
There is much to love…
…most especially at the very reasonable price point. Cheers, pplater.

Beautiful and nice effort...
but 70 pieces for 50 collectors? Some people are gluttons in the group, clearly. Everything is impeccable - movement, case, dial, hands, even the strap!
Good maths, VD…
There were those who assisted in the construction who also wished to acquire a souvenir of their work! Cheers, pplater.
Post script…
The OEM strap needed to be simple leather to facilitate delivery without CITES issues; although it was a fine and serviceable strap, the strap in the photos is aftermarket. Cheers, pplater.
Thank you for sharing this; I would probably never have heard of them otherwise!
What a fantastically interesting watch, especially the case!I Like it!
It ‘works’…
It would be fascinating to see this same team go into bat for a second innings. Cheers, pplater.
Isn’t it?…
That was also the view of pplater Minor #2, who was irked that it reminded him of something, but he couldn’t remember what. After a while he shouted ‘Nomos’! Hmmmm… maybe. Cheers, pplater.
Lovely piece, classic lines and beautiful. Congratulations.
Dial and hands are very nice, case is interesting and the movement I understand in inventive from watching the youtube videos - looks like a little bit more care needed though in the final finish.
A very astute observation…
(Recalling that this is a comparatively inexpensive watch) - what do you think should be better done in the final finish? Cheers, pplater.
The finishing looks great
but there is clearly a misalignment of the Geneva Stripes across the bridges which isn’t present on the YouTube video with Bill that I watched - possibly easily addressed? An amazing project nonetheless for the 70 lucky people.
Thanks J…
All credit must go to the crew of collectors who took it from concept to reality. Hope life in Footyville is treating you well! Cheers, pplater.
