I've got a couple more of early Karsten/Brogsitter pics for you

These were from Basel several years ago...a shame they were never realized other than these few proto pieces made for Marc, exhibited in 2009. Apologies for the poor quality of the following three images...
This a Constant Force on the escape wheel.
Rectangular tourbillon, quite lovely.
Another project that seems to have never got off the ground, Heritage Watch Manufactory, which initially seemed very promising...from 2011
This pieces had a lovely Constant Force mechanism on the escape wheel from memory...
A simple time only, but with a few neat features of Karsten's design. The balance wheel is rather interesting with a vane that helps keep a constant rate of oscillation if memory serves me correctly.
It'll be interesting to see how his latest collaboration with Leroy watches goes. The images shown so far look quite lovely. Hopefully not too much marketing spin will be employed about their past etc...wishful thinking I suspect
Cheers,
Tim
