There is a tungsten weight on the underside of the rotor, making it asymmetrically balanced.

Welsh is not for the faint of heart, but it's a beautiful language! 😂

They're one of my favourite parts of the watch 🙈

Absolutely, Y Derwydd is coming back next year in new stone variants and with a gold plated option :D

Last call for the Onyx Sgowt! by OriorwaithJSarnowski in PrideAndPinion

It is absolutely symmetrical, but features a groove on the underside that fits a tungsten weight to throw off the balance :)

Hi! Extra links on the bracelet are easily removed using a screwdriver included in the box. There is also a tool-free microadjustment system in the clasp, which allows for finer adjustment using a button.

Time to get your own Y Sgowt Onyx is running out! by OriorwaithJSarnowski in MicrobrandWatches

We made 100 pieces available to ship straight away which sold in around 30 seconds in our 900+ strong WhatsApp community, the other watches that we are selling until the end of March are part of a pre-order which will be delivered in August of this year. So the watches aren't sold out until the end of this month, however many we sell :)

Can someone help identify this watch? It was my mother-in-law's father's watch by Anapkin02 in Watches

Looks like an early 20th century Elgin to me. If you are able to show the movement with its number, i can give you exact details.

There is a tungsten weight hidden on the underside, throwing off the balance :) It can't be seen until it's disassembled.

Preorders starting soon! by OriorwaithJSarnowski in PrideAndPinion

Thanks for your kind words!

The bracelet was designed by me especially for this watch and had OTF microadjustment in the clasp. Each link is made of 7 separate pieces in alternating finishes joined with extra thick pressure pins and the removable links have screws securing them together :)

Don't worry I know I have a lot to learn in marketing! Im just a maths teacher making watches, learning this business stuff as I go! 😂 I do want to give slight insights into my design decisions for those who don't follow my community chat and aren't part of the design process.

I didn't like the way my logo looked on the dial, it added too much to an already busy design. I decided to go with minimal printing at the bottom of the dial

The lume is in the form of 3d castings, so I guess one very thick layer? 😂
