This is fantastic from a design and horological perspective

I think what Xusha Ma has achieved is a great combination of MB&F type design coherence and some serious engineering.
The Pantograph ( telescoping hands) is IMHO a resounding competition to the Parmigiani Ovale Pantograph. Going by the level of coverage and appreciation that the Parmigiani Pantorgaph got, the achievement of Xusha Ma therefore is no less than Parmigiani in this aspect of telescoping hands and the way the time is told.
I do hope that Xusha Ma gets the proper recognition that is due. If these watches were originating from a swiss independent, by now the message thread would already have run into two pages.
With a bit more focus on the decorative aspects of the caliber used, Xusha Ma can draw quite a large following.

Looks promising but they need to bring their finishing up several notches. S
Love these watches....

obviously the design could be more refined but the self-made look has finally something appealing. These watches looks like unfinished prototypes from the past which is great. Thanks for the report Don!
The ideas are impressive...

Personally I am starting to be less impressed by finishing and more impressed by the ideas behind a watch. Finishing can be bought or outsourced, but it is much more difficult with the ideas. Xusha Ma's work is full of ideas. Don
More information

Do you have any more information on him? One of the watches says Beijing on the case back in Chinese, so I would assume he is based there? Thanks
All I know is from the AHCI site

All I know is from the AHCI site: His English/French/German is not so good and my Chinese even worse so we just talked by hand gestures. Don
Thanks for that

Looking at his address, he is in the same part of Beijing as the Beijing Watch Factory.
