Derek was a pivotal figure in watch development, from what I have been told and read

Not so well known as George Daniels, but important just the same. I am happy to say I met him, about 20 years ago now. We talked cars and watches and wine on a summer afternoon in a Swiss garden.
You might recognize some of the other watchmakers in the pictures.

No it's not a Konstantin Chaykin, it's honoring Derek Pratt Sorry it is not mine, I just was able to wear it a bit, three years ago. Cazalea ...

A magnificent watch. From the dial side nothing hints at this outstanding movement.
C3PO wants his watch back :)

Joke aside I like the contrast between the fairly restrained dial and gorgeous back.
Big thanks to you my friend for sharing this !

Not only this watch is so beautiful and rare but even much more than that when you know the watchmaker behind it and the whole background! You also made my day with this nice series of pics of our friends. I could recognize several but not all…
