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

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.

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.

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

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

You have to subscribe to his aesthetics, which I don’t really do, but if so, there’s no arguing with the quality Phillipe Narbel will give you. If you want hand made, that’s hand made. And he’s a lovely person too, from what little interaction I’ve had with him.

Curious what happens with Urban Jürgensen. I liked their 'One' model, and I wonder whether it's going to make a come back, maybe modified in some ways.

I can't wait to see what is coming within these 2 years under Kari's new leadership, and it is also going to be a real test to Kari's business acument and leadership. His watchmaking abilities has been repeatedly proven by 8 GPHG awards, but how about his skills in business as the new CEO of Urban Jürgensen since his acquisition? Can't wait to it. Time to tell your AD to reserve one!

I think Sartory Billard does some very exciting work, and while Armand Billard isn't as much into movements and movement finishing as other independants, his approach to dials, designs and customization is up there among the best.

His dials in particular are up there among the likes of De Bethune, Kari Voutilainen and the likes. Which makes sense, since his dials are made in partnership with Comblemine, the dial maker for owned by Voutilainen.

It was a pleasure to work with him on designing my SB05, which I should get soon.

This is an older watch, but I have recently been smitten by the Ludovic Ballouard upside down. Saw it in the flesh and it is eclectic but gorgeous.

Every number apart from the current hour is upside down on the dial. The hour discs rotate when it’s their turn.

Cool upside down timepiece!

Maybe it's for lefties?

I'd wear that upside down btw.

Holy crap that upside down is amazing

Not only that, the "right" hour has a white dot appearing to catch the eye at a first glance.

I guess after the sale this is now an independent...

Yes, a brand for the frugal connoisseurs among us. I see it as a really nice deck watch more than high horology, but I still love it. And only had to wait 14 months...
