Independents

Okay, so haven't posted one of these in awhile. Have a new one on order that is currently in its nascent stages. Very excited to follow this watchmaker's progress as things start to come together. Any guesses? Darren...  

No idea, but for some reason....??? let us know! and congrats! S

...it should be german - Dornblüth?? Best regards Suitbert

Christian Klings ? Magnus

....but this watchmaker looks like he's married :-) But that's just a poor man's Miss Marple attempt

...is wearing a handcuff wedding ring in the photo. :-) Cheers, pplater.

As a guess, though: from Sisters? Cheers, pplater.

due to the winding wheel with typical double solar finish ("Glashütter Sonnenschliff"). My first guess was Dornblüth, but may be it is from Dresden - Lang & Heyne or from Marcos father Rolf Lang?

... hand-made parts..... :-) Ken

however not the watchmaker. Hope to have more scans to share soon. Darren

...which one is correct? Cheers, pplater.

You are correct that more than one region has been guessed in this thread. Here's a hint that I suspect will ultimately give away the secret - if I told you which guess as to region was the correct one, it is highly likely you would be able to zero in on ... 

...and knowing something of your admirable talent for being ahead of the curve in commissioning pieces by Indie stars, could this be a piece by Keaton Myrick, from Sisters, Oregon, USA? Cheers, pplater.

the watchmaker responsible for the work in the above scans does not hail from either the United States or Germany. I suspect this may be the clue that "breaks the camel's back". I'll post more scans as soon as I receive them, but am willing to continue en... 

May I hazard a guess that it is the work of Japanese watchmaker Masahiro Kikuno. It is my first post , please be gentle with me.

and the watchmaker. Well done. I'm hoping for additional scans throughout the process - seeing the watch come into being is half the fun. Darren

Something about that workshop!! Wonderful and waiting to see more, great choice of watchmaker!! S ;)
