Crystal : Sapphire (front and back)


Price : $950 + $35 shipping cost  Sold out !

Matt black dial has a bit lamé finishing. At first glance, you might not be able to find the index, but it has the hour index. I have chosen the combination of solid black dial and dark blue second hand to highlight the silver hour and minute hand.


And geometric design at the center expresses various condition or position of one's mind in the body or society.





I wore it on my only six inches wrist. It feels very suitable for slim wrist just like mine.

Dial making Pt.10 / Jumping hour module 3

Infixing the bushes to the dial plate. I drilled the holes in slightly small sizes. Adjusted with hand reamer.




All bushes were installed. Simple and light work.



Actually, I decided to change the hand winding movement from ETA2801 to Fontainemelon (FHF) 98.

<FHF98 spec>
Frequency : 21,600 A/h
Power reserve : 39h(?)
Jewels : 17
Diameter : 11 1/2 ligne (25.60mm)
Total height : 3.60mm
Mounting hight : 1.30mm
Stem hight : 1.90mm
Hand dimensions : 130/90/21 (hour/minute/seconds)

Comparison~~~
<ETA2801 spec>
Frequency : 28,800 A/h
Power reserve : 42h
Jewels : 17
Diameter : 11 1/2 ligne (25.60mm)
Total height : 3.35mm
Mounting hight : 1.80mm
Stem hight : 1.80mm
Hand dimensions : 150/90/25 (hour/minute/seconds)


ETA movements are too expensive for its appearances and function, I think. I like FHF's old fashioned looking and reasonable price, of course. There is no fear of lift-up of cannon pinion unlike ETA. Additionally it seems to be easy to be decorate. Because both diameter is the same, it is easy to change the plan.



The cannon-pinion was press-fitted with the handmade pushing parts. This parts will push and turn brass-made star wheel once an hour.

Steel-made star wheel and brass one were united by being shifted by 10 degrees.


A gap of 0.15mm are made between them. It is because of avoiding the interference of the brass wheel and spring lever.

Temporary assembled.  I checked that there are no problems with its motion.
