Title: Valerii Danevych
Post by: bezelnut on May 28, 2013, 08:43:23 AM
One super cool dude from Ukraine.
Currently most priced piece is a wooden tourbillon. Some of his piece sell for more than 100K EURO.  :o
What do you think?

You're welcome. I never thought making watch movement with wood is possible until I came across the site as well.
The man behind this is a true master.

I guess so. This is the watch that is kept in plushy watch box, and stored up properly, reserved for very special occasion. Not a replacement for G-Shocks.

No, not for mainspring and balance spring.

But it does say the watch have power reserve of 20 hours.

water resistant depth rating?

Totally no idea. My guess is, no tolerant to water whatsoever. It is made of birch wood thou, very hard.

The water resistant rating should be: Cat.

 ;D ;D

the accuracy is within 5 mins a day?

I guess the water resistant will be superb as no metal parts if it is really made out of woods 100%

just make sure to dry it out after some scuba diving session.

and keep out of termite.

That's not water resist, that's water survivalist.  ;D

upon purchase, it will come with a 2 years termite warranty.

a termite control service is recommended every 3 to 5 years of ownership.
