I wish I could handle a 618 but the hands are only available for eta 6497/8 so I choose this beauty one of kind eta 6498

I thought it was an angelus at first sight, can you believe that

Then I realized it was something else. Is it really a 6497? What a nice movement it is. Wear it in good health. We'd like to see a wrist shot too

it is a 6498-1 with a 3/4 bridge, hand engraved balance cock made by Jochen Benzinger. I got it since 6years if I remember well. Indeed it is a beauty.
wrist shot will come soon, still have to fit the stem of the movement

Good idea!
Question: Have you considered adding supports like this item has?

Question2: is it really doing something (the supports)?
