William D. WhiteA new crystal for a 1/4 hour French repeater
I just finished this one and sent it off a few days ago. A nice low jeweled 1830ish French Breguet style 1/4 hour repeater in a slim gold case. It came into my hands with a plastic replacement crystal. The one I made is a double lunette 51.5mm in diameter with 3mm clearance underneath. The glass used was Swiss made 1.2mm Electroverre. The new crystal is as original and compliments the case/dial/hands/pocket in the proper manner. I suspect this first time customer will be pleased.
Just thought I would show off one of my "special" jobs.

Peter KaszubskiBravo!

Funny I was just talking with a guy about wrist watch crystal and I told him I know someone who can make you one for his vintage watch.

William D. WhiteThanks Peter, As long as the crystal is round and greater than 25mm diameter I can probably do it.
