Thanks much. James is using the SW210 for now, and may or may not consider alternatives for future projects. It depends on a range of factors that new watchmakers operating at his scale face.
Even if he incorporates different movements, his priority and focus will remain exterior form. That means strengthening collaboration with artisanal enamelers, engravers and micro-artists to compliment his expertise in handcrafting cases. I support that emphasis.
It's a pleasure to have his confidence and, quite apart from being a lovely human being, it feels good to see something special take shape.

What's the back? Lost wax? Stamped? It doesn't look like laser work. (The 'satin finish' on the case front, however, looks like hand work.)
