Malysian watchmaker/ moon watch / Esquire Singapore
« on: March 04, 2014, 02:44:50 AM »
Hello everybody.  It has been a while since I introduced myself.  This is just a small news item that I thought it might be of some interest to this forum...

A watch that I made from a slice of the Moon has made it into Esquire Magazine Singapore (March edition).    The article features 5 independent watchmakers and they even mentioned that I was born in Malaysia. 

For details of that one-of-a-kind watch you can see it here:

I have another slice of the moon that I am developing into a watch at the moment along with my own titanium cases that I am machining myself.  Stay tuned, this will be an exciting year.

Best regards,
Frank

As always anything is possible if the price is right.  There are usually a few pieces large enough to make a watch from on the collector market worldwide but you can expect to pay $700USD per gram.  It makes platinum seem like buying pewter!

Wow combining your rock collection with your watchmaking skills is genius.. May I know how much the watch sold for?
