Laine
I don't know how he does it at his price point and given his limited production. And he is such a pleasure to deal with, as well.
Fairly simple
I simply got in touch with Torsti via his website and then emailed back and forth a few times, paid a deposit, balance upon completion. Other than the usual choices he offers (color of movement, name tag or print, choice of numerals), I asked for no numerals and a stepped dial. I am sure he is open to discuss further modifications as well. Very easy to deal with and a real gentleman who goes out of his way to make things right for the customer.
That dial is seriously funky
Be careful when it hits direct sunlight! Outstanding movement finishing too

I was surfing on the website.
A nice collection.
I like the 1817 with engraving techniques.
It is a real craftsman who won prestiges watch prices.

Many congratulations. I do like the stepped dial. And the shorter index markers I have not seen before either.
Glad to hear to you a happy with the watch. Enjoy it.
Thanks Jay!
In retrospect, though, the next dial I would get would have longer indices. Or, perhaps, none at all. I'm really enjoying it but still thinking about straps. I don't think the navy blue it has now does it any favors.
The strap is a big one for this watch given the dial colour.
If you are close to somewhere that you can visit and see hides and straps in person with the watch that would be best.
My Laine has a grey dial, and I have a matte grey gator on it which I originally bought for my Datograph (no longer with me), it was custom from Jean Rousseau. But with a grey dial matching is easy.
I understand re the indices. I think it looks great overall though.
Yup, that would be perfect
Unfortunately, I'm far away from any strap makers that I'm likely to use. I was thinking of going matt as well, perhaps in a dark grey. Perhaps nubuck.
Neither do i but am not complaining!!! :D
I can't wait till I can afford one of his timepieces!! Beautiful watch and enjoy it in good health and happiness!!
Indeed, it really is impressive to see a watch of this quality at this price point 👍 [nt]

Awesome Laine, congrats!
That is a fantastic Laine. I am totally amazed by my Gelidus 2 dial side and movement side. Enjoy.
