No.3 Prototype

Well here are some quick and dirty pictures of the No.3 prototype. Please note that the movement is not plated yet and the etching needs to be done.

Below you can see it with 'Sambhare' hands. I find it unlikely that in the entire history of watchmaking nobody has made this style of hands. Nevertheless I feel today they are sufficiently distinct to be given my name :-)



The direct centre seconds movement is distinct as well. The layout of the train is refreshingly different and there is no second hand slop.

Overall I am very pleased with the results. The case is 36mm without the crown with sapphire crystals front & back. All in all a great size, dare I say with unisex appeal?

I have also made a contrasting pair of 'dagger' hands.




I expect this watch to be my Model-T, What do you think? :-)
