Hi Ronald, Unless you have very deep pockets, it's quite difficult to start a watch brand (or any brand, in fact). You have to get public interest, you have to invest $$$$ to start producing watches (or any other gizmo), hoping that it will find customers. On Kickstarter, you only have to make a cou
Hi JTCL, I don't know where you got your 15mm thickness, but on the KS page, the watch is stated twice with a thickness of 11.5mm, which is quite common (unless you are used to thin watches).
One scientist friend was telling me about the IWC Da Vinci, which has a chronograph with the perpetual Calendar. He was telling me that he was mesmerized by the fact that this watch could handle an incredible range of time, from the 1/4th of a second for the chronograph, to the second, the minute, t

Plus it's not striked, it's "springged" (??) Don't get me wrong. I love the musical watches.
Hello Amanico, I remember that Christophe Claret also made a true music box-watch, about 15 years ago. On his site : Never had the chance to listen to the Claret nor the UN, but I've listened at the GP. I was very disapointed by the very, very soft volume of the music box. I prefer the minute repea
My bad. Your videos are on the Quartz page. I think the biggest problem is that it looks like it's not possible to quick change the date. You have to do the full planetary turns to change the date.
Hello Sheyko, All your CAD images show the different discs at the same position. So, it's difficult to figure out how it works. On your site, your have 10 pictures showing exactly the same postion of the platenary gears. I agree with the other comment that a 29 mm watch is way too small for modern s
Patek : Favre-Leuba : Julien Dubois : Haas : Jaeger-LeCoultre : And the sound box : I noticed that some of the videos are "woobly". It looks like if Youtube applied a crappy post-effect.
