Sergey Chutov Fortress III Limited Edition
Stories like that of Sergey Chutov are what independent watchmaking is all about for us. People finding their calling in life, leaving behind the mundane and pursuing passion above all else, which is exactly what Sergey did when he left his career in Moscow as a civil judge in 2018 and threw himself headfirst into horology. After 4 years of training he realised his dream to become a watchmaker, and Sergey Chutov watches was born. How cool is that?
Independent watchmaking from Russia has always intrigued us as the makers their develop their own style working outside of the Swiss system, and they tend to create watches unlike any others. Chutov's first watch was the Fortress, and this has developed into many iterations, evolving over time. This version is known as the Fortress III, and is an unbelievably cool piece of watchmaking. The case itself is made of stainless steel and measures in at 41mm, with a lug to lug of 49mm and thickness of just 11mm. Within this case lies a stunning dial in which the upper portion is made of Sterling Silver, with the lower part in Copper, which is then sandblasted, painted and varnished. It's topped with lumed rose gold hands in a lovely ecru shade.
The movement sits behind a mineral glass caseback, and is stunning to behold. It's based around a top grade DB9 6497-2, which is laser-treated and painted in rose gold, with skeletonized wheels. It's finished with a handmade quick release croc strap.
This particular example was sold in 2023 and presents in TZ 'Near Mint' condition with only some very minor rub marks on the left side of the case distinguishing it from new. Please see images for full condition details.
Keeping COSC time at 300+ degrees of amplitude dial-up on a timegrapher, and all functions operating as they should.
Comes with outer box, inner box, warranty card, LE card, cleaning cloth, and second set of hour and minute hands.
Released in a limited run of just 3 watches, don't miss your chance to pick up this very cool piece from an exciting new independent watchmaker.
