Very pleased!

(the pic doesn't do justice to the blue hands and numerals). Excellent service from Jana and Dirk.

Thanks to Dickyknee (and a few others) for their advice.

Yep, that’ll do it.

Wonderful piece of art that happens to tell the time.

Congratulations.

That's a lovely piece. May I ask where you sourced it from?

A lovely thing, lesser-seen and with real personal resonance. Congratulations.

Thanks! I have a half-decent collection now (although nothing compared to a few people on here), but if I had to sell something I think this would be the last on the list.

The back is so beautiful it's tempting to wear it 'inside out' !

Superb watch! What was the wait like? I understand there's a bit of a queue at Dirk's front door...

Superb. Enjoy that one.

I’m yet to spot anyone wearing a Dornbluth in the wild!

The first contact I had was in January, where they sent me a brochure and pricelist etc. After going discussions via email, I finally started an order in March and the watch was delivered yesterday.

Most certainly worth waiting for and Jana keeps you informed as your watch goes through the different stages in the process.

Wear in good health.

I collect mine tomorrow afternoon from Amsterdam Watch Company.... it’s been waiting for collection for 2wks, so looking forward to finally getting it onto my wrist as I’ve been away.
