"El observador" de Pedro Izquierdo...( Pics and review )

[vegaban]

Pedro Izquierdo is a spanish independent watchmaker who teaches horology in his "Escuela de Relojería" in Madrid. He also has a collection of Ltd. Ed. watches, and his new creation, "El Observador" tries to be an accurate hommage to the german B Uhren of WWII...



This watch has a 43mm wide sandblasted case...



...but there are also two more "dressy" versions, one in red gold and titanium...



...and other in silver...



All of them have domed plexi...



...and are powered by a modified Unitas 6497 with central seconds and a swan-neck regulator...



The balance bridge is hand-engraved...







...and the back can be opened to show the movement...



Let's look closer...



The strap is an aviator one, hand-made in Spain..



The watch comes with four dials, one mounted, and the others as replacement...





...and two set of hands, one for the doubled ring dial and the others for the single.

Also a diamond and an onion crowns come with the watch, one mounted and the other as replacement...



A beautiful watch and full of possibilities of customization with the spares supplied.

The price is 2.500€ in steel, and 3.000€ titanium-gold..

i feel like ive seen thisd before, about a year ago or so.

either way, i think its really nice, i love the movement, the caseback opening, and the fact it comes with extra goodies (im a huge fan of extra bits to come with the watch).

im in love with both the super accurate silver one, and also the titanium/gold version. i really would love something in Ti/Au one day, i just think the colors work well.

you planning on adding this to the collection?
