A-list star required

[Lorneg]

I've been playing with mechanical chronographs as a hobby for many years and over the last couple of years have been building and selling my own model, the OFFSHORE Professional Field Engineer. No prizes for guessing my day job as it does involve all 4 words in the watch make and model.

Being an engineer I know absolutely no one who is remotely famous, well apart from my neighbour Anna Ford and she's not going out with all time hero Dave Scott (luna rover driver on Apollo 15) any more.

So who knows someone famous who would fancy wearing one? PM me their email address if you do.

I like that, a lot.

Can I purchase one?

Thanks

Have just spent the last 20 mins looking at your website Lorne. Very interesting. Have bookmarked for future reference. If I was after a competitively priced tool watch at present I'd certainly consider giving one of your watches a go. Have also sent you a message about a celeb that might fit the bill.

Great looking watch. Based on the design/name/background I can't help thinking an advert in your industry trade magazine would be a better place for this to promote it than any A-list Star. Sometimes pick up a copy of my fathers NCE magazine. Probably read by a lot of older people with disposalble income all over the world who can relate to this.

i like it.

[Pesty]

very nice.

Well done.

any plans on a none chronograph version?

[pete a]

Don't worry, I found your website.

The Mk1 with the black face =

Any left?

[Pesty]

really is a lovely looking thing.

if you dont mind a bit of advice you need some better lit pictures done.

I thought it was nice anyway but then i saw the pic of somebody holding it outside in the light in the prototypes section. its very nice

you can see the knurling matches on teh bezzle pushers and case back on that pic. nice touch

Yes, I have a stock of the Roman Numeral cases which I'm holding onto for special orders and for any watches that come in needing a re-build with a new case. The two year 'any damage for any reason' warranty has provided one so far that came back after a significant impact and in need of a new case.

Oh sorry, just notice 'Mk 1'. Only built 6 of them and stopped after that because they were unbalanced on the wrist - too fat and not wide enough.

I remember reading about these a while ago and being very interested and then forgetting all about it as I wasn't buying watches for a while.

It's back on the list! I'm on my phone so going to your website isn't ideal, but is there any possibility of visiting to see one in person?

Obviously not an A list star but I am an offshore engineer and attending the ADIPEC show in Abu Dhabi next week, the ICOTA at The Woodlands in March and the OTC in May where I will quite happily wear one and show it off

We get loads of A listers here in Polzeath; how about I wear one and see if I can persuade any to do the same? ;-)

It's a lovely lovely watch.

[Fatrat]

Well I have just purchased 038 and I'm very pleased with it



Looks even better in the metal. Solid and beautifully engineered

I will be wearing it at Salon QP this Saturday.

Hi Mr Ewing

Yes, I'm away from home until the weekend, but more than happy if you fancy dropping around then. I've part built several but am waiting for a new shipment of lug pins before I can finish them. Thing about lug pins is you really need them all stainless steel to avoid corrosion. Too many people just use any old lug pin and then they go and corrode after a couple of years and the watch suddenly drops off your wrist. It's a details thing.

I wasn't intending on sparking a lot of interest (and sales) from this post, but needless to say I am very happy with peoples response and appreciation of the watches. :-)

Beautiful looking thing. Stainless steel and a brown lether strap would be just so - unfortunately I suspect it is rather out of my price range.

BTCC driver and TV presenter Jason Plato can very ocasionally be found kicking around these parts. May not be exactly A list (sorry JP) but appeals to monied petrol heads.

Mr Plato is most definitely a-list in my world!

Well his user name is the very imaginative jasonplato. Get a PM away offering him a free watch!
