The movements I use are always based around the ETA 6498 movement. I have engraved and DLC coated various movements for clients in the past.

I can also source vintage ETA/Unitas movements. These I strip and rebuild as often I find them in old pocket watches, discarded and left broken for decades. Rejuvenating these old movements is something I am very passionate about.

Below is a movement that was a combination of 2 broken non running vintage pieces from the 1960s/70s that I had, that when put together, created a movement that will last another 50 years with ease.
