PTS Resources Catalogs 2012 and 2013

PTS Resources Limited is a Hong Kong-based supplier of watch movements. The company offers Chinese movements -- pretty much everything from hand-winding movements, to automatics, skeletons and to movements with various complications, including tourbillon movements, as well as movements from other countries.

More information about PTS Resources is on the Chinese Watch Industry Wiki website, including a recent review and an explanation of their caliber designations.

PTS Resources-supplied movements are used by many watchmaking companies around the world, and here in Russia I have certainly seen their movements in watches made by some Russian companies (usually the cheaper ones, the cal. 2650S skeleton is, you can say, ubiquitous).

Design for Denissov Watches

Have you ever wondered who makes watch designs for Denissov?

Well I am about to tell you whether you have or haven't. It would appear that Katia Helwig and her design firm are responsible for most of the Denissov designs as well as most of the watch designs of other remaining Poljot offshoots.

It seems even a tourbillon was once on the cards. Picture from the site.

There's also this large PDF in the download section, which suggests that her most recent work is Mars for Volmax (opens a pdf file).
