WATCHES
Engraving on watches is something special.. it is very time consuming, requires a lot of concentration and needs extra attention to design. What you see on zoomed in photos or what I see in the microscope is quite far from what we all see with the naked eye.. so it is a fun challenge making a design that looks good on photos (clients like that) but obviously also looks great with the naked eye. Clients like that even better.
TUDOR CASEBACK
This is the latest watch project I was working on for a client. A Tudor caseback. He already had the names of his children scratched in with a kind of mechanic engraving machine. Did not look very nice, but was what the seller could offer.
He contacted me and I got free hands with scrollwork and touching up the names. I´m quite happy with it, and so are the client.. anything better than that?
MALIN & GERT
This was originally my very first practice watch after getting proper tools. After getting my Lindsay Classic and PalmControl I felt a big jump in quality of engraving. Obviously when looking back at it today, it is not up to the quality I want to have, but it is part of my progress.
Anyway, I was never thinking to part with this watch and I actually never finished it.. until a good friend of mine which has bugging me for years about a watch, he wanted this.
So I had to finish it. It was actually a big challenge to match the style of engraving I did at the time I started this watch. I also did some 24k gold inlay on the other side of the watch with the names of my friend and lovely wife. Malin & Gert
