    GenChron Watch Company

    GenChron Watch Company


    Some photos of a project (my watch company) that me and my partner (a Master Hand Engraver) have been working on…the emphasis is a truly custom handmade piece, each watch will be one of one…

    Regards,

    John

    Hello Tom,

    Thank you very much, you kind words are truly appreciated!

    We are still working on a completed model, as well as modifying the movement to make it much better, for example, movement number two will be adjusted in six positions.

    Also, each dial will be hand engraved just like the movements, and on the production models, the top parts will be 18KT Gold, .950 Sterling Silver, or Platinum, per the customers request.

    When the prototype is done, I will post photos, this is not as easy as one thinks, this movement alone…took over 60 man hours to engrave by hand, and that doesn’t include the design and prep time, the clean up and reassembly.

    Regards,

    John
