Can I pay you by sending some money with snail post?
Just have to say wow!! That's amazing work, man!
Amy plans to make a series for the public
I hate the smart watches, I use one just because Im too lazy to carry a phone with me, and often I don't hear it so... But mechanical watches are hype for me

I hate the smart watches, I use one just because Im too lazy to carry a phone with me, and often I don't hear it so... But mechanical watches are hype for me I thought I'd post this image of my new prototype. It's an automatic Swiss watch, with a Swiss movement.
I'm trying to get the key engraved on the oscillating weight and covered with a special hologram. It would be protected by the waterproof case (10ATM / 100 meters). A bit like Kialara.
This prototype has taken me months to design and produce. I'll let you know if I manage to get the key engraved on the movement, and if the movement still works.
I also had a variant with the public key on the dial.
I don't want to sell the watch, just share the idea.
Bitcoin is time.
Well holy hell - THAT is absolutely amazing Frank!
If you do ever make any more I'd probably pay a lot of btc for one.
Edit - @Eclipse33 - Time is Money == Money is Time.
Then again, maybe I just read too many of Nick Szabo's essays/writings lol...
Frank, designer coin manufacturer and now watch maker. A man of many talents.
Please elaborate on your "Money is time" phrase, it intrigues me.
One of the things that popped into my mind is that it would be really cool to have Block time there, either instead or along the "normal" time.
Block time (or block height) is superior to actual time.
I think having my clocks switched to block-height (or at least a peripheral device) may be a more prudent time keeping mechanism opposed to general time.
I wonder if an analog block clock could be built and worn on the wrist as if it were a Rolex. Pearl dials, gold two tone but it only keeps bitcoin block height.
On a different note,
bitcoin is more than just a monetary energy network. bitcoin is almost like a time machine that is forever protected by computational supremacy. With ordinals attached to PDFs that can be burned onto the blockchain. Documents can be in their untampered form for all of eternity.
Just imagine the implications of being able to see an untampered and unrevised version of history hundreds of years from now. The history books will be rewritten several times over by that point, but the bitcoin blockchain ordinals and transactions will be available for our future generations of curious minds to explore.

I really like the watch. Great work.
One of the things that popped into my mind is that it would be really cool to have Block time there, either instead or along the "normal" time.
It would need to be connected to the internet though, either directly or indirectly, for example with a Bluetooth connection that syncs with your phone or laptop, or an NFC connection where you need to tap your phone to update.
Thinking about it, it might be a bit too much hassle to add the block time, but it would be so cool to see it on your watch.

I like it - would want one to add to the rest of my Alpen's - if you ever do sell them.

Received mine today - Frank included a small guide to his products, some postcards and stickers and a personalized note. He has always take. The time to write me a short note with each order. Small personal things like that are great!
Thanks FrankAlpenCoin!
Thanks FrankAlpenCoin!
Mopar, Thanks for your feedback... the small guides are jabid's work. he told me that he has an idea for a new book. His "mini-guide des bitcoins physiques" could be a premise. I Hope that he is working on it.
No idea if the shop in Neuchâtel has any coins left.
Still some bars unfunded. Please contact me if yours isn't loaded.
Have a nice day.
Hi,
Back from the Alps, I have some Custom funded left that I made for Christmas (family and friends) loaded with 1/10 mBTC. (same as the shop in Neuchâtel, and the C001 Auction).
