Nice watch!
Here's a guy in PA who does a great job too:

I was watching with interest as an Irish company manufactured their first watch, thought I might pick one up. Well, they just started selling them. They start at 100,000 Euros. I'm not picking one up

Thanks guys. I understand how it may not be the number one choice for some of you. The look is a little stark.
It reminded me too of a Dufour (Simplicity specifically) which was one motivating factor. I also have a couple of name brand automatic chronos and wanted something totally different.
I looked at a couple of Italian brands, but I kept coming back to the Madison. When I got real with myself, the biggest attraction with those brands was how cool people would think I was because I was sporting the latest fashion watch. The Madison may not have the pimp factor, but it fits nicely in my small collection.
Brent-I wanted number 9, but six was all he had made so far. Apparently, he works at his own leisurely pace. It would have been several months before nine was done. There were three watches left in the case. They don't show very well in the web pictures, so I doubt they will sell many based on the strength of the images. I'm really liking this simple watch. I don't expect to sell it anytime soon.

Awesome, thanks for the response! The Simplicity is what I thought of when I saw this watch as well, and to date is probably my favorite watch. The price is just completely out of the range of possible for me. I'm glad you love the watch, it is quite a beautiful piece! Hopefully it keeps your interest for years because I've seen the way some watch guys like to turn over their pieces...within months or even weeks!
no_really, I see there are plenty of places that have them listed online, but how many are actually trustworthy? I'd much rather go through a dealer or directly to the manufacturer/craftsman for something like this.

No way that thing beats Vlad's watch. He has the coolest EVERYTHING.
No one can be as awsome as Vlad. No one.
Ok maybe Jesus, but thats it.

did you know 6/28 works out to be a pretty cool number?
it starts at first with .2 then follows with a repeating sequence of 142857...

Do you have "pi" memorized to the 4000th digit???
