Cool watch project by a watchmaker student

" The project is to flipp an ETA-6497 so that the movement side is facing up and actually becomming the dial"
There are a couple of watches like that already but cudos to the dude and maybe he'll be able to take down the prices compared to Glashutte, Thomas Ninchritz etc and make it affordable for us mortals :)
We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

Very cool project indeed. I can imagine that it's quite a momentous task for Blixt but he's making good progress.
I can't wait to see the finished product. Thanks for sharing this Eric.

 :Cheers:

Wow interesting project, i love the watch by Thomas Ninchritz but sadly too high price.
Eagerly waiting for the finished product.
