A great way to honor the memory and art of Derek Pratt. Without him, there is no co-axial escapement!

Another fun note about Pratt: The Charles Frodsham wristwatch owes its extraordinary choice of escapement to a helpful suggestion by Derek Pratt (he was good friends of the owners of Frodsham, as was Daniels).
Edit: Oh, I see this is discussed in the excellent article linked to (dear reader, go check that out if you haven't!).

A magnificent watch. From the dial side nothing hints at this outstanding movement.
C3PO wants his watch back :)

Joke aside I like the contrast between the fairly restrained dial and gorgeous back.
Big thanks to you my friend for sharing this !

Not only this watch is so beautiful and rare but even much more than that when you know the watchmaker behind it and the whole background! You also made my day with this nice series of pics of our friends. I could recognize several but not all…
