I was all set to put in an order for my birthday present (very soon!) until i saw this! Unlike anything I have seen before.

Looking forward to the final details! Drool!

Still awaiting final costings before the announcement.

In the meantime here's a glimpse of it:

Looks lovely, although it's a bit cluttered for my tastes (especially considering your original stated design intent).

Also, I agree with James_ above, the poll is pretty much unanswerable without knowing more details.

Hi Gordon, there is a movement, very similar to what you sketched. ETA 7750 base with a power reserve indicator, located closer to date disc than yours. it is much more expensive than the standard 7750

I really like the design of this watch! If it's within a reasonable price range (~$1200USD) I'd buy one, I'd offer more, but I'm a student, but I'd easily work more hours to support someone building their first watch that I like :)

I'm just starting to read through the watchmaker thread now.

Thank you all for your incredibly positive comments.


Reading the poll and the posts here and in the matchmaking forum, it's clear to me that everything depends on the price point, the materials used and the movements. It is for all these reasons that I do believe that you will be very surprised by the price I am setting.

Basically the situation is that I already have a complete package priced and ready to go using several companies in Germany and Switzerland, but I am now waiting on a company called Fricker coming back with their "full service" price. Budgets are already set, but depending on what Fricker come back with will depend on what route I decide to take the company.


I will release every and all detail on prices, specs, materials, movements and the very rewarding WUS deal when they come back to me, which will be early next week after Bazel is over with.


As I have said in the watchmaker forum, this is a pretty small profit venture, about getting my designs out there and rewarding those who made the leap and get this going.


In the meantime, 2 of 2:

Well, he's obviously making an announcement about his product to sell...If it was for his own personal use his signature wouldn't be "Fraser Timepiece Company" So I can only assume the announcement will be details on purchasing so I will be FIRST...Unless I can't afford it... in which case, I will be sacrificing some other watches for sale! >:D I'm just glad to see a final image!
