From his IG, the story of this watch is Ondřej had a fusee and chain in one his boxes for the past 12 years. He wanted to make a watch with it but didn't know how. Putting a fusee is challenging with winding as winding wheels and crown are not allowed to turn back during running, hence he designed a planetary differential to fix this issue.

The watch is in a 39mm case with a 1-minute tourbillon. The front aesthetics look very raw but I like that rustic look. There are hand-finishing front and back. I love this thing.

Looks like a rustic version of the Breguet tourbillon 7047.

There are some very concerning flaws on his Watches. I like the design a lot, though, and I think he should just outsource the watchmaking, and go full on ming

He made this fusee and chain tourbillon himself. What watchmaking are you about?

His watchmaking is top notch. So are his designs. The only thing lacking is the finishing. If he could get a high level finisher inhouse, it would be game over.

A friend had a pretty big functional issue with a watch. Unsurprisingly.
