Reima Koivukoski….. expecting one of his pieces within 4-10 weeks I guess

I’m expecting a very well finished piece
And he did everything himself
Dial, hands, tantalum case, movement finishing…. And what I saw looks gorgeous

I was informed that my piece should be ready for end of this month or early March delivery. Very much looking forward to its arrival. He also mentioned that he is working on an in-house integrated chronograph with an emphasis on thinness.

I am looking at AnOrdain these days. Just fyi that i had a spread thread on this.

These feel like great watches for the price although I have never seen one in person.

Looking at these pics I much prefer the top one - love the contrast.

Would appreciate a full review and tons of pics!

If you could PM me your address and then leave it out on your kitchen counter while you’re not home and your alarm is off I would really appreciate it.

The above was supposed to go with this. Operator error.

These are not mine. The one above is a pic from ACM while the one below is Roger Smith's personal watch

[tigerpac]

That's great Roger was finally able to afford to take one of his watches after production.
One nice thing about the price hikes, I guess.

Just ordered the AdC 33 Lavish Attic collab. Can’t wait….

Vianney Halter Scriptura, titanium version so very light and easy to wear

Journe Lune, 160 hour power reserve, perfect dial

Massena Lab x Louis erard, the gold dial is shiny though the watch is little big for me

Kuan Rao Orca, a rising star for Chinese independent watchmaker, really like his style

Beautiful collection. Can’t wait for my Lune to arrive in June.

This is a great piece and a friend of mine had a chance to handle an ADC during the GPHG tour. Only the ADC and the Xhevdet got his "seal of approval". He managed to order the Xhevdet but no luck with the ADC.

I believe it was announced in 2022. Only 8 will be produced, I am unsure if all are spoken for.

Thank you for sharing. Very interesting. I know both are super limited. I am looking forward to visiting with Xhevdet in a few weeks.

I have yet to handle either but am very much looking forward to experiencing both unicorns.

Sorry but that's not what I meant. As you mentioned you have placed an order, I am trying to understand how long is the wait to get the watch. I'm considering the AdC 25 blue sector

His next post should stun most people here.

My order was placed about a month ago and the estimated delivery is this December. Approx a year.

Thank you! That's not a long wait
I'm also considering the 2-tone AdC17 split-second chrono. This one has an old-school charm to it.

New independent Stefan Schaerer. He makes a lot of the component (including the case) himself. 39.5mm by 8.2mm. 12 pieces per year. CHF 35,000. In this video, he discusses which parts he made and which areas he outsourced (for example the coating on his dial).

What a beauty. Like a CDV on steroids.

Indeed. It has some semblance to the CdV, Patek 1506 pink dial with Voutilainen tear drop lugs.

Mine is supposed to be shipped out in early April. Will share pictures once I have a chance.

Tried one on at a dinner the other night. Very interesting looking piece. Looked cool on my friends wrist as well.

How does it wear in terms of size? It’s 41mm but lugs look compact so should wear well I assume?
It’s interesting what might happen with this brand as FP Journe has given his support.
