Many thanks Andrew! I made the pledge to only make 12, and so although the demand has been higher than this, it wouldn’t seem fair to the existing customers to make more than this. I’ll let you know if any of the existing customers wish to sell theirs. Yes, the original 1945 Dirty Dozen have become incredibly collectible, and it is difficult to find one for less than £1,500 in a fair condition, with the Grana example now costing £10-20,000.

Hi Dean, many thanks! Yes, I’ve added your name to the list and will be in touch if one becomes available.

Absolutely fantastic, you should be proud of yourself for creating these timepieces – can my name be added to the waiting list if any become available please? Much appreciated.

Hi Neil

Thanks for your message. Unfortunately all of the Dirty Dozen watches are sold; I only made 12 of them, and the fact that I only ever would make 12 of them was the understanding when each of the owners made their order. So, despite the interest, I won’t be making any more of this series.

I will add your name to a waiting list, and if any of the owners wish to sell their watch in the future I can put you in touch with them.

Thanks

Colin

Thank you very much Jayendra

I love how simple yet informative this website is and love the work you are doing. Please keep it up and thanks for shining light on the path of Horology.

Best wishes from Singapore!

Hi Nigel,

Many thanks! I was really pleased with how the watch turned out – I’ve always liked the simple, practical design of many art deco styled watches.

Although I have only made 12 of these particular watches, I do intend to create other similarly themed timepieces in the future – and so keep an eye out for those.

Colin
