For sale was an incredible piece that you rarely see replicated beyond being an absolute shitter.

The A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Tourbillon.

For those unfamiliar with Lange, it’s a German watchmaker based in Glashütte, and one I consider to be at the very top of watchmaking. In my opinion, the 1815 Tourbillon is the greatest watch ever made. It is my absolute grail.

I decided to try and bring one to life for myself.

One detail that bothers me on most replicas of it I’ve seen is the case finishing. They get the brushing and polishing totally backwards, often brushing ONLY the tops of the lugs (which shouldn’t be brushed in the first place). The genuine watch has brushed case sides and fully polished lugs. I’ve ensured that is correct here.

I took my time with this one and made it with love. I did my best to bring you all an 1815 I’m proud of, working within the limitations of the parts and materials available to me. It uses the current best A Lange Tourbillon movement and dial combo, with a reworked case, and a custom order dome crystal with additional AR added.

I brushed and polished the case by hand. There’s a major difference between mechanical and manual brushing, and it’s something you can really appreciate on your wrist. It’s paired with a custom-made Bleu de Minuit alligator strap with quick-release spring bars.

Nobody could ever dream of making a TRULY 1:1 version of this watch, but I did my best and I’m proud of the results.

Edit: The one in the photos has now sold, but I can repeat the build. Please DM me to commission one like this.

Deep crystal
Platinum Plated

It shows some normal signs of use, but nothing untoward. Will be deep cleaned and LIGHTLY polished prior to shipping to the new owner.

Wanted to share this beautiful KTF commissioned piece that’s underway. It’s awaiting the actual bezel I am going to use, but this mockup is simple and beautiful.

Uses an Arolla style crystal and dial, crystal caseback, brushed steel bracelet, and has custom engravings underneath. I love how it looks and can’t wait to see it with the new bezel on.

Hello everyone!

I come bearing incredibly exciting news. I’d like to introduce to you all V2 of my KTF Le Mans. The prototype shown features my CNC2.0 gen-weight architecture, with a fully custom CNC-machined case and bracelet, along with a greatly improved gold color.

A major focus for this revision was the feel of the case and bracelet. V1 could feel slightly clunky and make more noise than I wanted. One of the biggest challenges in developing gen-weight cases and bracelets is balancing the weight with everything else the material needs to do. It needs to remain chemically stable, provide the conductivity and surface properties needed for plating, hold accurate dimensions, and still feel solid and refined in the hand.

CNC2.0 brings those qualities together. The bracelet feels substantially more refined, with the smooth articulation and solid feel one would expect from a top-tier steel Daytona bracelet, while retaining the added weight and a deeply accurate gold color. That’s an improvement I’m particularly proud of.

The rehaut has also received considerable attention. Many CNC cases have a dull, matte rehaut that lets down the rest of the watch. Here, the finish is glossy and polished, with crisp, clearly defined engravings.

Because the case is CNC-machined to order, you can also choose your own serial number. Otherwise, one will be randomly assigned.

Thank you all so much for your continued support after all this time. R&D breakthroughs like this would not be possible without it.

Something green and gold will be available very soon…

Stay tuned!

A big complaint I’ve gotten about my photos is the difficulty to ascertain colors. I’ve had people confuse steel with rose gold or yellow gold and vice versa because my photos are usually shot in lower, warmer light.

Today that changes! I got a little setup to help bring consistent QC photos.

Thanks for all your feedback. Improvements like this stem from it.

For sale today is this gorgeous custom Meteorite Daytona, featuring a custom meteorite dial with lab-grown diamond hour markers and matching diamond-set lugs and crown guards.

The meteorite dial’s intricate Widmanstätten pattern was achieved by treating the cut stone with a mild acid wash.

For sale today is this beautiful Ghost Daytona.

This build is full KTF, however, I decided to make it in an affordable configuration. It has all the same attention to detail my normal KTF builds get, but this one uses a VSF base (VS4131) and is, as a result, more affordable. It received warm WG plating, a full movement service, has a custom deep engraved bezel (KTF produced) and Deep Crystal.

Asking $1700

For sale today is the first watch I’ve photographed in my new studio!

This beautiful pavé dial Day-Date 40 features a gen-weight custom CNC case and bracelet, both 100% custom made to order specifically for this build. NONE of that RCF crap here!

It features a handmade, hand-set lab-grown diamond dial, a DD3255 movement, a bespoke order hand set with accurate shape and lines, and a genuine Rolex crystal.

This VS GMT just received my Ultimate Service Package. My new refinishing process took exceptionally well to the jubilee. It’s deep, glossy, and beautifully shines on the wrist. I am very pleased with the results and wanted to show it off

Wanted to showcase this beautiful YM that came in for an Ultimate Package. Gave it a slight chamfer, just to soften the edges a tad without being overdone like most do.

This was also the first watch to receive my new refinishing after upgrading my equipment. Super happy with the results and so is the client.
