Hi Z', I'm far from being at the level of a modo but I like sharing about Indies. As I know you aretoo. But indeed I like following and sharing news from them. Thanks for the words ;) Cheers, Mark
The Independents make a big field...

Kevin and I are glad for everyone who has good contacts to independents and wants to share. The field is way too big for us alone. Don
You're right

I feel that being able to cover every Indy is an impossible task, especially as they don't use and "format" their communication so we can easily follow up the news. You're doing a great job (Don, Magnus, Oliver, Horo and so on...). If sometime I can help ...
Pitures of the case finishing
By: Mark in Paris : January 30th, 2014-05:08
Especially the work on the lugs: vertical ridges on the side and perpendicular on the upper face. ...
Dial before DLC coating + crown close-up
By: Mark in Paris : January 31st, 2014-14:14
It is mirror finished but still uncoated (more news on his FB page if someone can read Japanese :p ) Gross part of the dial before being worked-out. This crown+case is so nice. ...
He does not answer emails

Kinda hard to get excited when he does not 'exist'. But I love his work.
It's seems so
By: Mark in Paris : February 2nd, 2014-06:59
You're not the only one who tried to contact him :) I wonder if his will is to develop a brand with several models that are meant to be sold widely, or if it is just for fun and that when he will have made several pieces, he will move on to something else...
Looks like the back
By: ei8htohms : February 21st, 2014-04:53
Because of the screw holes. Thanks very much for sharing the pics with us!
Oh you're right!
By: Mark in Paris : February 21st, 2014-05:53
Eye of the master ;) Cheers, Mark
Really like his work

I prefer the non-skeletonized hands, but they look like they may be a little too close in length. Maybe if the hour hand was just a shade stouter. In any case, I hope a production of these is sufficient to see one in person, maybe throw my name in the hat...
WIP

I understand the first pictures were projects and I don't know what is going to be chosen in the end. But I see a lot of talent too in his work. Cheers.

The new Tourbillon prototype is still under construction and HA still feeds us with new pictures: ...
VIDEO: first beats
By: Mark in Paris : March 12th, 2014-02:12
A very nice finish from an autodidact watchmaker:
Finally: the Tourbillon is completed (Video inside)!
By: Mark in Paris : March 16th, 2014-11:03
Many interesting calculation sequences to avoid some flaws related to classic construction. To be seen and explained in Basel for the ones who will be there. Cheers, Mark
Excellent finish and ball bearings ...

The lastshots posted on FB: Next Pics from Basel if some of our intrepid reporters pass by his booth. Cheers, Mark ...
Finally, the OFFICIAL video
By: Mark in Paris : April 12th, 2014-00:52
summing up its main feature, with very nice video footage. You'll notice the unusual places of the ball bearings, the different teeth shape, etc... Hope you'll enjoy it. Cheers, Mark
