Amazing dial...and hands from you guys :)

This is a really delightful compact case! I love the subtle crown guards and the drilled lugs – I think it's a great mix of diver qualities while being classy and a bit sporty. It feels a little chunky, but I think that's down to the short lug-to-lug distance. I think it has nice wrist presence despite being small – and there's a good mix of finishes that dress it up without being too flashy. The quality is of the construction and finishing is very good and the price feels very justified for what you get. My previous watch build was in a case I found on an eBay shop and it was serviceable, but this one is a big step up in quality.
I also want to mention how impressed I am with the customer service. I emailed with a question about fitting the movement and Adriel responded very quickly with friendly, helpful information. It was such a pleasant experience. Shipping was also extremely fast.
I highly recommend this case – especially if you have a smaller wrist, like me – and Lucius Atelier in general. I'm looking forward to shopping with them again soon.

All arrived safe, well, and quickly. Quicker than other suppliers by far.

I was having a difficult time finding chapter rings with 24 hour notations in 28.5 mm diameter. After a Google search I found Lucius Atelier, who had exactly what I needed. The part was shipped quickly and arrived faster than I had expected. The ring is top-notch quality and I am more than pleased.

I like how these hands pop visually against a green "alpinist" inspired dial, and the line is solid. The bright red is very satisfying, and extremely legible (which makes them a joy to read the time from). This was my first watch build ever, and I plan on doing another one for my wife for Christmas. Maybe I'll use these hands (or similar) again!

ordered on saturday, recieved on the following monday, could not be happier to install this on my "forever work in progress SRPE" really brings its build quality up a notch.

it's so thin! because how thin it is, the touch of colour is very subtle

As usual, Adriel was super quick with delivery of my NH35 movement orders and the pricing is unbeatable. While there are very many good NH35 clones that are a little less expensive, I like knowing that I am getting a genuine Seiko here for only a few dollars more. Still my go-to movement supplier.

Excellent quality, really fast shipping and great customer service. Thank you!

WOW , very high quality , gorgeous dial!

My wife and I are very pleased with her first custom watch -- and also our first watch assembled by LA staff. GS-style 36mm case & sapphire crystal, MOP diver dial, pilot hand set, NH38 movement. A range of straps takes it from sporty to elegant.

I've shopped around at a bunch of suppliers for Seiko NH movements, and Lucius Atelier has become my Go-To for the NH35. They have the best pricing, great & responsive service, and (super important) quick shipping. I highly recommend them.

I typically go with a black chapter ring, but I like how subtle the silver one is.

Everything exceeded my expectations - top quality products, quick delivery, excellent selection, and the customer service you deserve. When you want the best and not just the cheapest Lucius should be your first choice.

The case is exceptionally thin for nh35, and you can really feel it on the wrist, it wears very comfortably. The 7 mm crown looks quite organic at this size, keeping the proportions balanced. On a 16 cm wrist the watch might feel a little small, but that’s mostly because my previous one was 42 mm. If you’re looking for your dream watch, this case definitely fits that description.

I love this dial, I have used it I. Several mods.

LA's 24 hour chapter rings are facilitating GMT mods for those of us who do not want the oversized display of a GMT bezel. Perfect for midsize builds -- like this SKX013 GMT.

Well finished and very lightweight. Shipping was extremely fast. Very happy with this purchase.

Absolutely gorgeous dial, super easy to build with! Can’t wait to give these to my groomsmen!

Was having challenge to find a NH compatible case for a ladies build. Wife thought my 38/36mm builds to big. Then found this: "modern big", but small enough for "older fashion" ladies.

34mm UTE Case, UTE brushed Chapter Ring, 7mm Diamond Crown, GS Dauphine hands and 6 O'clock NH35 movement from Lucious Atelier.

FYI. Cannot install dial without a chapter ring. Minute markers on DS Shunbun dial just work with UTE chapter ring. Could not find dial without minute makers to use normal SKX013 sized brushed chapter ring with minute markers. Would have liked case to be used with out chapter ring. But still looks great.White "sailcloth" rubber strap from Delugs.

My next build is a with the Lucius 62GS UTE case which is nice node to the original 60's GS Automatic. I will give updated look with a GS Style White Birch dial and handset. Will post when done.

Impeccable craftsmanship on the dial delivered! Adriel had everything shipped very quickly and in great shape!

Quick shipping, constant status update on order by email, proper mouvement packaging when received, custom handwritten note included in the order, mouvement looks good = simply lovely! What more to say, everything about this experience screams quality. Will be back to buy more for sure!

This NH34 movement was so easy to work with through this build!

I decided to buy the regulated movement and WOW is it accurate! I have been checking it with the online atomic clock and it is within 1-3 seconds (-) daily. That is peek performance from my point of view...
