Seasoned Watchmaker Dann Phimphrachanh And His Stunning Seconde Vive
Dann Phimphrachanh, a seasoned watchmaker with a diverse background, has emerged in the indie watchmaking scene with his debut piece, the Seconde Vive. His journey began in France, moved through Portugal, and finally led him to Switzerland, where he honed his craft. Phimphrachanh emphasizes traditional watchmaking techniques, creating a mechanical watch with a unique seconds mechanism using a Reuleaux cam. He faces challenges balancing his creative endeavors with financial stability, maintaining a handcrafted approach while also managing a long waiting list for his limited production of watches. As a candidate for the Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Independants (AHCI), Phimphrachanh finds inspiration and camaraderie among fellow artisans dedicated to the craft. His goal is to create a trilogy of exclusively handcrafted watches, emphasizing quality over quantity. Despite the challenges, he remains committed to his artistic vision and is open to future collaborations and mentorship in the watchmaking community. Interested individuals can connect with him through social media or email to learn more or reserve a watch.
