A few watches I've recently engraved!

[Artemiss]

Hi folks,

I admit, I occassionally lack the discipline to not show engraved watches before they are reassembled. Whilst that statement still holds true, I now have some photos of the completed work, so thought I'd share.

Firstly, an Audemars Piguet. Lovely canvas to work on!





A Patek Philippe



Cartier Santos. I've shown this one previously, but now it's assembled.





Again, another I've showed before, although it's now had a special black coating applied. The blacking looks a lot better in real life.

















Thanks for looking,

Jo

(still lovin' the job)

Jo,

Great looking watches. What's that special black paint your taking about? Do you mind sharing?

You also have some great photography skills.

Thanks for sharing

Saludos,

Carlos

Jo to me a watch is just something to tell time,but when you get done with one it's an amazing piece of art. Thanks for showing.

Hi Jo

Beautiful work indeed and some well thought out design work.

It's amazing what you can fit on these things isn't it. They become bigger than Texas under a microscope.

Cheers
Andrew

Jo, As they said in the old Virginia Slim's commercials (showing my age) "You've come a long way baby." For the amount of time you have been engraving you have become a force to be reckoned with. Your work is beautiful. Such a small canvas, delicate but bold. Each time piece is simply wonderful in design and execution. It has been wonderful watching your skills grow. We knew that you were an accomplished artist before you began engraving. Your Scrim is wonderful. You are a real pleasure to watch you grow as an engraving artist. Fred

Very nice Jo!

 

[Artemiss]

Thank you once again for all your great comments, and encouragement.

I was chatting to a guy about the blacking last week, but can't recall the name. It began with a 'p' though, if that helps!

I tend to find that the hardest part of these Swiss watches, is learning how to pronounce the damn names!!!

Cheers,

Jo

A woman's delicate touch combined with a woman's intuitiveness is an AWESOME combination.
You should be getting my Timex in the post shortly.

As Ray said "JEEZ LOUISE!!!".

Congratulations Jo

 

[Marcus Hunt]

Great work Jo! You have definitely come a long way since you started but I don't know whether or not people who look at this stuff on the forums realise just how much time and hard graft you've put into learning our craft. You are an absolute pleasure to give guidance to because you actually listen and act accordingly without ever taking offence. You are someone who's hungry to learn and develop and you'll definitely go a long way on your engraving journey.

Well done!

They are amazing... I'm absolutely speechless!

 

[Arnaud Van Tilburgh]

Amazing beautiful work you do on these watches. You showed some more of these watches and all your designs are surprising and fun for the eyes.
I wonder how comes you made such big steps forward on both design en cutting.
Probably like Marcus said, you work hard and willing to learn.
