The following is a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso watch that I just finished for a patron.
My rendition of a 200lb Great Dane, named “Mr. Paws”.
I did not know where to post this; not only is it a significant work of mine but also is
a brief tutorial for those who learn by observation. I decided to post it here as to not
interfere with Mikes ongoing tutorial on his Brittany.
There is much going on between pictures, but if you print this out at the size it is here,
will give you something to study on.
By temperament, I am not a teacher, and as my somewhat distinctive writing style seems to inflame some of the more easily offended among us, seems this is the best I can do to contribute something to the learning process of other engravers.
Material is stainless, with a slight radius surface. Overall height of the engraved portion of the watch is 22mm, the oval is 19mm….
The work was accomplished with both a 60 and 70 degree graver, along with the assistance of Steve’s classic palm control.
Hope it helps someone out there. Thanks for looking.
