Fred Dingemans d.m.h. unique pieces 52Mondayz, week #32Now I was happily surprised by a visit in one of The Netherlandsmost headstrong watchmakers, Fred Dingemans. Entirely personally, Fred produces mechanical replica watches under his manufacturer d.m.h. Short for Dingemans Mechanische Horloges, or Dingemans Mechanical Watches in English.d.m.h. #09-09 in this little wristFred Dingemans d.m.h. unique piecesIt was a student in March 2009 which i wrote an article about d.m.h. in Dutch for the (now sleeping) horlogenieuws.nl blog. Then, highly inspired by my findings, I ordered my very own d swiss rolex replicas .m.h. watch too. I received it in September that year, so my watch bears the serial number 09-09.From part to regular watch makerFred begun to make his replica watches as a part time watch maker. Then he produced approximately 12 replica watches per year. The 4 digit 00-00 serial amount of the watch indicated first the month and therefore the latter digits of year. Nowadays Fred Dingemans full-time produces around 24 replica watches each year, and the first 2 digits certainly are a sequential number that year they watch was produced. Nice to be aware of and seen on the picture below; Fred’s personal watch bears the serial number 08-09. He produced his very own watch the month before he made mine 🙂Fred Dingemans watch (top) #08-09Tenor-Dorly and in-house rebuild machineryMost d.m.h. replica watches contain a great seventies Tenor-Dorly caliber. Like a TD-1393 ticks within my watch. Except for the glasses, straps and many tiny things, Fred produces the entire case, crown construction and dial himself personally. Within an old barn he makes use of a historical, self revised and enhanced, lathe plus an old milling machine to generate the parts.A great many other of Fred Dingemans tools were created and constructed by himself as well. He trusted me to see that his most essential tools are likely wooden tooth picks. Fred transforms a toothpick into many different tools. Even his screwdrivers and tweezers find their origin with them.Very unusual and original constructionsAs the casing is constructed out of an excellent block of 316L steel, the dial is manufactured out of brass plate. Printing and painting of every dial, one at a time, is conducted by Fred entirely by hand in a number of steps. It thus could be intensively modified in accordance with the wishes on the new watch owner. The dial is then fixed to the movement by screws instead being normal, by centring pins. A different construction which gives a d.m.h. watch dial a distinctive think about the same time.Take a look at crown construction and display case back showing the Tenor-Dorly caliberAnother quite unusual construction can be viewed on the crown watches . A d.m.h. watch has a clever flange system which prevents the crown from being operated accidentally. The flange is secured by a spring pin which first should be pushed-in prior to the flange is usually turned. Only one time the flange may be turned the crown might be operated in order to wind the automated movement or to set the hands. A construction not witnessed on the watch before, invented, constructed and created by hand by Fred himself.Fine mechanics vs fine watch makingMany on the constructional solutions of any d.m.h. watch descend from fine mechanics greater than from watch making techniques. Fred wants to think different. As well as what I prefer so much is the fact his solutions become different likewise this way. You won’t find Fred to be a an associate any watch guild. He understands the need for these guilds for others, however is afraid that solutions for problems all will be solved in the same manner. Killing originality plus a personal approach to watch making.At the very least two-and-a-half years delivery some time and keeping customers happyThe Dingemans Mechanische Horloges website for example can be another thing what one could argue about. Fred tries to ensure that is stays updated however doesn’t always spare the time. However, the whole d.m.h. operation is really a one man show. He explains: “Of course I attempt to update your website, as frequently only spare the time. Although with a filled order book until 2020(!) there are other things with higher priority. Customers should receive their replica watches, I have to finish them.”Side in the casing.

Many images of differently designed replica watches is found at www.dingemansmechanischehorloges.nl. With the website, or by other way of contact, a d.m.h. watch could be ordered likewise. Currently they start at approximately 2.400,= (excl. VAT). However be informed that it’ll take almost three years to get your watch ready..
