^^^ Thanks Cylon.  You can't beat manual-wind for a slim-fitting watch.  I hear you on thickness - and diameter, for that matter.  It's both a matter of wrist size, and just subjectively what fits your eye. 

Agreed. Would love to get my hands on a NOS Zenith El Primero hand wound.

Now you are just teasing .

Haha I'd like to hear thoughts on the movement design and finishing before I reveal the maker.

It's a small producer and the dial is a bespoke painting in cloisonne enamel. The movement and enamelling are all designed and done in-house.

The watch is 43mm but the movement still fills such a large case up nicely.

Honestly? And this is me putting my mega critic hat on! I am not normally this harsh! I think that the movement design is nice, but the movement finishing is not the best. I like the idea of the double balance wheels, and the 3/4 plate looks nice. I need a bit more info though! The geneva stripes are not as sharp as they could be, and the edges lack the best chamfering. Further, the chamfered edges are not polished.

But it depends on the price range! Are we comparing to independents like Dufour or Voutilainen?

This was me being INCREDIBLY picky . And honestly, I do need some better pictures to really assess it!

Not a big fan of a watch with a display case which does not display much of the movement.


A rotor is bad enough, but something like this isn't really a whole lot to look at.

 

[no frills]

Wearing white today.

I see you are serious about your rotation! Today I am wearing blue/green:
