Hi guys! Hope you're all fine. Let's play a little game. I discovered a new watchmaker. the first who discover wins, hm, all ma congrats some pics. Please don't track them on google, play the game and give your impressions cheers!
No idea, but that is awesome! Unlike a lot of non-traditional layout analogs, this one is actually easy to read. I'm afraid I'm off to Google to find out more .
I love it but am curious about the gold/brass train wheels showing among all those shades of gray. No idea on the watchmaker but I bet he (she) could build one hell of an automaton.
Based just on the third and sixth photos in, it may not be all shades of grey. That shows the dial to be gold-ish, so the brass may not be such a stark contrast.
I know that guy. I even shook his hand and held his masterpiece a few monthes ago. He's living about 200 km from my place. This guy is really really nice. LM are his initials... I can't remember if this watch is based on a 6497 or a 6498 though.
hm, As for the map, He doesn't live any longer in the area but some are getting closer. Definitly not MB&F . My words " a new watchmaker" was not really correct. He has some experience. I meant he's new to me.
Ah ha! what a coincidence, I was just conversing with Luc Hiegel at Horloger-Rhabilleur Two unusual names in the same evening .
You meant morning (it's 10:58 AM here). I didn't know that LM has moved. Anyway, that's where I met him.
A 200km radius from @Mark5 . I meant evening. I'm about to cook dinner for Her Majesty so when she gets in from work it'll all be ready. That way she won't ask me if I've been on the internet all day or hiding in my study working on watches instead of garden upkeep, housework etc. All the things a retired "kept man" has to do.
Well, I give up LM.... recently moved to the Lozère region (south west of France) after 9 years in Swizerland). he was a MOF (meilleur ouuvrier de France/ best french worker). The MOF is a contest in various manual specialities like wood works, pâtisserie, stone carving, bread making and so on. here's a video
Nice work, but hardly ground breaking. Minute numbers contrast with the background as they're hard to see There was the AP Starwheel in a number of configurations including a PW model Was also Urwerk Original 103 DON
