SEWILLS CARMANIA de timefactors :

Un extrait du site timefactors expliquant l'origine de cette marque et sa démarche d'assembler ces montres avec les composants d'époque :

There can be no better way to reintroduce the name of Sewills than to offer genuine new old stock Sewills watches. These are, however, new old stock with a difference.

When Sewills of Liverpool ceased trading in 2001, the German company who manufactured the watches for Sewills still had undelivered stock of movements and components. These parts remained stored until I discovered them in 2010 and decided to have them assembled. The manufacturer still had 85 of the movements submitted to COSC in 2001, complete with certificates. These movements have been fully serviced and assembled in the original cases before being regulated. So, although made from new old stock components, these watches were freshly manufactured in February 2010.

The Sewills Carmania is in the traditional ship's chronometer style and is a fully certified chronometer itself, supplied complete with COSC certification. Available in black or white dial, on strap or steel bracelet. Supply is initially limited to 10 pieces of each variant, another 25 can be made when it is determined which are the most popular models.

Only 85 pieces are available in total and when these are sold, there will be no more.

Le 2895 c'est moins courant qu'un 2824, ça c'est cool, même s'ils ne sont plus COSC vu qu'ils ont été révisés.
Elles sont belles, la concurrence va être rude avec la Stowa Marine

elles ont une belle gueule.
en revanche c'est dommage de ne pas numeroter chaque cadran comme l'etaient les chronometre, mem si je comprends bien que ca ferait fire un grand bond au prix public de la chose.

Très belle montre tout en finesse, on peut regretter seulement le bracelet métal toolwatch disponible en Australie complètement anachronique.
