👴📸🤳 Sunday in Cardiff, awesome views all around the Wales, love that place! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 ⠀ Swipe for #faceappchallenge stupidity pic, we are getting older but not so fast 😁 Think you'll die, Memento Mori, that's what the Time tells. ⠀ #mementomori #sundayselfies #lovewales #kopfwatch #germanpolosin #cymru #Wales

📻📡💀 Are there any vintage radio fans here? As I was into electronics at a young age, this is always something special for me. ⠀ Old radios aesthetics inspire me to think about new watch designs, unexpected forms and shapes. What other things have inspired you at some point like this? ⠀ #vintageradios #KOPFWATCH #skullwatch #vintageradio #skullart #germanpolosin #pgwatchmanufactory #watchdesign

🐇⚡🐢 White or green, which one to choose? А friend asked for my opinion on these #IWC Portofino... 🙃 ⠀ White classics are forever, but the green is just so posh! Both come in white cases, gold hands. What's your opinion? ⠀ #iwcschaffhausen #iwcportofino #swisswatches #luxurywatches ⠀ P.S. I'm not a fan of green colour, but here it works better than white, suppose it would be more fun for a long-time wearing 😇

🎁⚙⚖ New toy unboxing! A classic balancing/poising tool by #Bergeon, in a perfect condition, like new 🥂 ⠀ The first thought was to scrap all my other cheaper poising tools 😁 Though, I'd rather keep it for students! Younger horlogers must live through that rough life without proper tools 😁😉 ⠀ By the way, I am currently on the lookout for apprentice watchmakers in Bristol, UK. Candidates are welcome to pay us a visit ✌ ⠀ Cheers to @bergeon.swiss ! #watchtools #warchrepair #horology #watchschool #watchmaking

✌️💀🎡 Hand polishing the Roger Tourbillon watch case, talking of handcraft... 🧤 ⠀ The case blank is machined using EDM & CNC machines, it's about 20% of #casemaking process. The rest 80% of work is performed by hand. There are 43 manual treatment & control stages in my technical worksheets, which describes thoroughly how to finish all the parts and assemble the case. A handful of #horology handcraft for its $1800 😉 ⠀ Credits: 💀 Roger Tourbillion skull-watch, limited 100 pcs 🌃 Underground mural design, tourbi carriage in skull's eye 🎡 Left-side crown, skull decorated ⚒️ Strong 47mm st. steel 316L case ⚗️ Sapphire crystal, manual movement 🎯 Starring Dragomira the young Jeweller 😇 ⠀ #independentwatchmaking #muralart #rogertourbillon #skullwatch #rarewatches #undergroundart #pgwatchmanufactory #limitededition @drug_vs

🎼📸🍕 10 days running Tourbillon by #Bovet! Note engraved bridges layout, just like in vintage pocket watches 😉 ⠀ The case top resembles a pocket watch as well, but overall impression as it is futuristic object born in space 🛸 ⠀ #bovet1822 #luxurywatches @bovet1822 #goldwatch #watchgeek #tourbillon

✳️👀✴️ Blue or black eyes for KOPF skull watch? Currently I keep on testing and considering further metal finishing techniques ⚒️ ⠀ Does blue colour make it more robot-ish 🤖 rather than skully 💀? What option would you like more? 😉 ⠀ #skullwatch #skullart #KOPFWATCH #pgwatchmanufactory #germanpolosin #horology #watchoftheday #watchcollecting

🏰🎡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 A gorgeous Cardiff Castle tower clock in Wales! 👍 ⠀ How to emphasize the difference between the Welsh and English surrounding? Welsh things seem to be a little brighter and more colourful, like... Holland reflection in an English mirror 😇 ⠀ Should I devote some horological creation to the #Wales? Something with crazy and attractive Welsh #Cymraeg language 😜 ⠀ Learn 1...12 numbers in #Welsh: un, dau, tri, pedwar, pump, chwech, saith, wyth, naw, deg, un ar ddeg, deuddeg, het 😉 ⠀ #cardiffcastle #lovewales #clockmaking #towerclock #englishclock

🔩🔧💡 How many old tools would you need to cut older odd-sized screw threads for proper watch/clock restoration? 😁 ⠀ These thread cutting and thread swaging tools are originals from 1800-1900 era. All of them are predecessors of tap&die thread cutters using nowadays. ⠀ The picture is a collection of vintage tools from yesterday's great lecture by B.Lines MBHI in Bristol branch of British Horological Institute 🏫 ⠀ #watchrepair #horology #watchmaking #britishhorologicalinstitute

🔬🎥💡 That’s how guilloche watch dials work, this is why we love to tilt it. The surface is made up of tiny mirrors reflecting the light in a sophisticated manner 🎊 ⠀ The real engine turned #guilloche looks marvellous because the mirror surface is made by using sharp metal cutter. The milled CNC guilloche doesn’t give same impression. Meanwhile the mass-produced stamped guilloche is mostly a total failure 🙃 ⠀ Now you can tell apart real, honest guilloche on a watch dial 💪 from the cheap mass produce ⚙️🤖 ⠀ #horology #vintagewatch #collectionwatch #watchgeek #pocketwatch #VintageBreguet #engineturning

⚓⛓️🎡 Helical balance spring breathing, marine chronometer slow-mo 🎥 ⠀ Marine chronometers are simple and industrial looking but perfect inside, hope you'll love it 😇 ⠀ #marinechronometer #kirova #horology #chronometer #fusee #watchservice
