This ended up being my fav shot...very dramatic I thought. Shot with the Fotodiox 11mm extension tube.

 

Élégante on a yellow strap, giving out massive summer vibes. Perfect for some gardening, surely.

One more comp of this great watch before I head out for the day.

I just wrote a review of this watch in another space I hang out in. I really like this watch but I do struggle liking the small date window and compared to all my other colorful watches and dials, this gray by itself is hard to pull out of the case. But, once it is on the wrist I like it. The foreground for this tabletop shot was a little boring so I used Photoshop's Firefly with some keywords. Also, I am digging out some of my old album covers as backdrops...just the covers bring back a ton of memories!

The watchmaker, Paul Lawlor, who has been a fixture on Wicklow Street in Dublin for the past 39 years retires at the end of September 2008

Having some fun shooting more images with this "jump hour" watch. FYI - The watch shows the time is 6:46 and this watch does not have a 24 clock...so, it could be AM or PM.

A nice Zodiac with stainless steel case all in good order.

Citizen EcoDrive 300m diver. Known as "EcoZilla" in some select circles.

The current Prim range.

 

On September 26, 2008 my family and I were privileged to spend the day in the beautiful town of Nové Mesto nad Metují in the east of the Czech Republic, close to the Polish border. Our host was Mr. Jan Prokop, Marketing Director (and principal designer) at the ELTON hodinárská, a.s. - the manufacturers of fine bespoke Prim wristwatches.

 

Mr. Prokop collected us from our hotel in Prague, drove us to Nové Mesto nad Metují and back (a round trip of three hours), presented their current product range, guided us through their interesting museum, and led us on a tour of the full manufacturing operation at Prim. This was a fantastic opportunity, and we got to see everything from the manufacturing of cases, dials, hesatite crystals and hands through to the final assembly process. We also saw great examples of their bespoke manufacturing capability as well as their top class restoration service. Mr Prokop ended a fine day with a meal and good local beer in a restaurant on the old town square.

 

Six weeks after our visit I sent my prized Prim Sport "Igen" 38 (produced in the 60's and early-70's) to ELTON where it is currently being restored and modernised to my specification, as well as being personalised. I can't wait to get it back - my first bespoke wristwatch and an heirloom to pass on to my son!

 

Although obviously sensitive about certain parts of their operation, Mr. Prokop graciously allowed me to take many photographs during our visit, and here they are for your viewing pleasure. As you will see, these are truly hand-made watches that combine both leading edge design and manufacturing processes and age-old processes and technologies. It is this progressive traditionalism and craftsmanship that gives these unique timepieces their individual character...and I love them!
