"Unboxing" Antoine Tavan 1805 Jour et Nuit
Posted: Thu Aug 20, 2020 10:46 am
I backed the Kickstarter for the Jour et Nuit (Day and Night) watch by Antoine Tavan 1805 back in October.
The campaign successfully ended in December.
The watch was originally supposed to ship in March.
World went to Hell.
So here we are towards the end of August and Roger sent me tracking yesterday that he dropped off my watch at a FedEx office in Le Locle Switzerland.
It arrived this morning.
Worth the wait.
Here's the unboxing.
During the end of campaign survey, I had to enter in a phrase for custom engraving even though I didn't pay for that tier upgrade.
Figured it was easier to include that question for the survey and he'd ignore that section during production, then I flipped the watch over.
Bonus.
With a traditional kiln fired enamel dial, laser cut and hand polished hands, a modified ETA 2824 to run in a 24 hour cycle, all done in house and by one watchmaker, Roger Zarzoso, this is as close to haute horology that I've gotten or will likely acquire.
Very pleased.
