Andrew Vorotsov skeleton watches

I started this thread here because I figured it'd get more exposure, Mods feel free to move it.

A few years ago I was on a quest for parts for an old Russian stop watch. Finally a guy from Saint Petersburg, Russia answered one of my many internet forum requests. He hunted down and sent me all the parts I needed, plus 2/3 of an identical model watch for spare parts.

Later I Google'd his name just for the heck of it. Here's what I came up with:

Some of his work is incredible. I especially like this one, check out the guys winding the mainspring and the guy oiling the movement:
