Those look fantastic! And I don't think I've ever seen a pocket watch that thin before. I wonder who has them now?

Also, $10k in 1978 has the buying power of just less than $50k now. I bet if they did something like this nowadays they'd be way more than $50k.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

A true example of a "watchmaker": Someone who not only assembles the movement but crafts the case and everything else.

Incredible, thanks for sharing.
