Hope again yay, but why would factories refuse to make bracelets? Just asking as they are happy to replicate others. Did anyone on here buy one?

Might not be related to ethics ,but rather difficulty .
They are probably be as hard as AP braclets to make (or even more) but with not enough demand for it to be worth it .

Multiple homages have a similar bracelet... Hrudoland and Specht and Sohne.... should be feasible

just checked Specht and Sohne out, and you are right. That makes me really curious to the reason why they decide not to produce it

VC 222 is a grail of mine so I have been following this thread.

My read is that Patrick is building this with the gen 2121 movement. Hence this will not be a volume game and hence no factory would want to produce the bracelet. My guess.
Same. "It's just that not many can be built" is not instilling confidence... Patrick's about to start the first TD wait-list

With K2121 movement these are very expensive which is why volume is low. How many K2121 APs do we see??? Very frw

This would be kinda stupid to make without a quartz. Make it good and affordable.

Very interested in this one, but the last pic is even for my semi-blind eyes not acceptable...
