Jocke, I think you fairly reflect the excitement of a project like this, and the way that little hurdles and frustrations pop up at various times along the route. But the appeal of the final product triumphs over the frustrations. Also how the tension bui...

excellent report and pictures, and finally - what a beautiful and unique watch in every aspect!! I actually like all the different variants of the watch, but probably would have taken 1:1 your's as well! The brown colour of the dial is stunning! Question:...

Very beautiful watches and wonderful diary of the process...

What is the case diameter and thickness? Why did you choose (with one other, I see), the date subdial rather than the power reserve. I'm just curious. I also love the fact that you included photographs of all 7 pieces. All together, a wonderful and wonder...

This project has been a great adventure and a good experience of compromises and how to reach a decision that all participants are satisfied with. Only the trip to Kalbe had 3 different options to choose from. So sure it was a trial but we are still all f...

Thanks a lot for taking us onto the journey! A brown dial is a daring project but from the pictures it looks like it worked out nicely 👍 Dirk Dornblüth is the right person to make such things cone true! Looking forward to seeing them in the real one day. ...
