Unique Skeletonized Watches By Molnar Fabry: Hands-On And Workshop Visit
The skeletonization of high-end timepieces has long been a viable option for those watch collectors and enthusiasts who seek?a way to?appreciate mechanical movements more thoroughly than a sapphire case back or an "open-heart" dial allow. Michal Molnar and Igor Fabry of Molnar Fabry are two Slovakian certified jewelers who,?bitten by the "watch-bug"?and driven by a developed?passion for fine watches, have?specialized in creating unique, made-to-order timepieces comprised of beautifully and?heavily modified base movements from ETA, Unitas, and others.We were invited by the young duo to visit them at their workshop in Banska?Bystrica, a small town situated in the central?part of the country and?surrounded by the?beautiful Slovakian countryside.Igor Fabry and Michal Molnar in their workshop situated in Banska Bystrica, Slovakia.Skeletonization is the process of carefully removing?structurally non-important material from the?center of major movement parts, namely bridges, cocks, and plates

Does this watch feel like settling?

Hey guys, Came across a beautiful cushion case seamaster from the 70s at my local vintage dealer. Was wondering if you guys thought $1200 was a fair price for it.
