Awesome stuff Oscar!thumbsup.gif

I really like the Kaventsmann concept and what Micha is turning out here (incredibly cool that the entire effort was birthed from him building his very first watch for his dad too).

I first got interested in Kaventsmann when seeing some versions of the Bathyal popping up a little over a year ago, and have lightly followed some of the other developments like the Percula and the more recent hand-cranker Cumulus.

This Pelagial model will no doubt be bold for sure...very fun to be able to follow along as it develops! cool.gif

Wow!...Sweet Oscar!!! happy guy.gif ...and faster than I was expecting!

Definitely some very strong Bathyal influence in the case and dial (but I'm definitely seeing some differences in the case which is more refined, especially in the lugs which are also drilled which I really like)...yep, a complete success and killer piece!

Can't wait to see some wrist shots!!! bravo.gif chickendance.gif
