Whoever taught these watchmakers (iirc, it's one influential teacher at that school) has basically started a style of watchmaking.
That's an achievement.
A picture says more than 1000 words ...
Then let the pictures speak Let me introduce you the French independent Florent Lecomte. This is his first series of 10 watches and I got the number 1. The base movement is a unitas but as you can see it is completely modified, in fact kudos to those that...
Interesting watch. I'm probably in the minority here but I would much prefer an easy to get movement in a startup like this than a completely in house one.
So this is a pretty safe purchase. If they can't survive you will still be able to get it worked on somewhere. Enjoy your rather unique watch.
Ah. I read it as you would preffer it to be one as you said ,"like this ... completely in house [movement]. "
To me, that indicates that is watch has a completely in house movement.
I have tried but
I cannot find much information on this watchmaker. What size is this watch? Looks great and you are lucky to get number one! All sold out I believe.
I was sure that No1 is yours! Congratulations!
I saw the post with the back plate of your watch on Florent's Instagram account I am waiting for my 10/10 next week. It looks great! R
No
The strap is Camille Fournet, so very good quality but no name or logo on the buckle
A thousand words cannot describe the beauty of this watch my friend
Again huge Congrats and looking forward too see it in person soon
At first glance
I thought it is a Greubel Forsey or MB&F watch. Very nice, very niche, the hand finishing is recognisable from the irregularity of the finish, mainly at the little dial. The Unitas movement is also clear from the backside of the watch...
Way cool, Bruno!
I have been following his progress on IG for a while now, you have a winner there!
I was thinking the same...."Haven't I seen this before?".
That said, I do like the design and what I see. I am curious to learn more about the details. The dial, the negative space and the choice of colour, immediately makes me think of another watchmaker. That may be good or bad depending on the buyer's view. I...
Rémy Cools and Theo Auffret come to my mind
These 2 made magnificent pieces. Only thing I like a bit less... botjh made a tourbillon. And while this is cool to see... unfortunately it makes the price unnecessary high. Rémy got his education in a well know watch school in Morteau, France From his si...
And Theo Auffret came form the same highly regarded school
From the monochrome website.. ...
Very attractive piece
I do believe his next watch will be an in-house project with a smaller case
That’s a stunning watch Bruno 💥
Huge congrats! Very tempting as well. Would love to know more though. Congrats again, Laurent
After missing the first one
And sadly also the second one. I hope to finally get his 3rd watch in the future :-D Like his work a lot
