MEN'S CHRONOGRAPH WATCHES - MEN'S DRESS WATCHES

Handmade Watch… We Mean Really Handmade

image004.jpgHere is an excellent look at Donald W. Corson’s foray into creating his own watch completely by hand. We’re talking everything from the movement. Amazing stuff.

The following are posts I made to an Internet watchmaking forum describing the advancement of my work during the course of almost a year. From a few square pieces of cold brass to a working movement in a one-of-a-kind case. One of the joys of this work was the constant changes in skillset needed. From machinist to watchmaker to silversmith, etc.. As such the work is never boring, never repetitive, always new challenges and unknowns to be overcome.

    Very impressive that someone can build from scratch their very own mechanical watch! Howerver, IMHO it looks just that! And why does that hand at the top look like a pube?
