Independents

Getting to see these makers and their watches is always a great pleasure. It is after all, the people behind them that make so much of a reason for me as to why I find the pieces compelling. Enjoy! HAGWE all, Cheers, Tim ...  

I was about to say, "I really like this one" but then I just kept paging down and there was just too much! (I still really like the Raul Pages though)

Raúl’s work is amazing. Truly inspirational artisanal watchmaking. Figuring out how to do the Detent escapement in a wristwatch is extremely difficult. His execution is simply lovely. Cheers!

Always unique

Some lovely pieces as always, what is your top 3? S

1. Raúl Pages-original Régulateur à détente RP1 2. Sylvain Pinaud- Origine, the Only Watch version. 3. Christian Lass- 30CP Really tough to exclude KV, there were two Vingt-8 I loved, so as back up… Cheers, Tim ...
