Spring Sprang Sprung 2023 - Some Watches I Saw

This is the second year I attended Spring Sprang Sprung - a watch event featuring Micro-brands from around the region.

For me, this Konnii Koi timepiece epitomises the length to which micro brands differentiate themselves. Owner of the brand Alfred is based in Malaysia and travelled to Singapore for this event. The timepiece is made with rotating discs featuring a geisha feeding the koi in the pond while waiting for her lover.

What a way to be telling time - the lotus flower in the centre represents the seconds while one koi represents the hour and another the minutes. The entire dial is hand made - kois hand crafted and hand painted and so are the other ornaments. Impressive detailed work - perfect imperfection.

Another interesting new brand is Bauche watches. I spoke with the owner Ranndie and he tells me the dial is made with three layers. one dial, layered three times.

And here the blue dial version. Comes with a closed case back as the feature is the dial work.

One of the highlight for me was seeing the Feynman One Galaxy Nacre in flesh. Launched at the event, this timepiece is limited to 20 pieces.

And as you cani imagine, the 20 pieces have sold out. So enjoy the images here or find one of the lucky owners...

Horizon watches have been making some interesting pieces and this piece is no exception - the Pilgrim Pistachio.

Lovely coloured dial - something both man and woman can wear.

Grand Feu Enamel? Yup, this is from Selten Watch, a Hong Kong based microbrand.

And then there is the moonphase piece - One with a rotating disc and a hidden lady on the moon...

And another a regular moonphase timepiece.

Of course there is Atelier Wen with their Perception range of timepieces...

Both the ice blue and salmon dials are very attractive.

I believe this to be new too - the Arcturus Vanda Tourbillon. What I've taken are 2 variations but they do have other colour combinations.

Tomorrow (Sunday, 22nd October 2023) marks the last day of the event. They open at 11am and is being held at the XM Studio at 809 Kitchener Road (level 3). Head on down to support the microbrands.
