Relatively new company - created in the mechanical renaissance as one of the 'new' style of watchmakers that wanted to offer something different. Fairly traditional look overall, but they are a manufacture and have a novel approach to incorporating the escapement - putting it at the front of the movement rather than the back - hence the open dial.

Pretty good value for money and decent quality, though not really one of the standout modern watchmakers. Personally, I like the watches, but there isn't anything 'different' enough for me.

Cheers Roff, would £300 be a good price including postage? It does not have the box or papers but is 100% genuine and in lovely condition.

Not an expert by any means, but based on this........

I would say that it was a very reasonable price - approaching cheap!
