NAMED ONE OF WATCHPRO MAGAZINE’S “HOT 100” - THE TOP 100 INFLUENCERS OF THE U.S. WATCH INDUSTRY. HOW CAN WE SERVE YOU? Techno Flame Dial Diamond Watch - PERSONALLY OWNED & WORN BY LESLIE WEST with TWO COAs Certificate of Authenticity - Full Provenance with 2 COAs - 1 Year Warranty Today's offering showcases this deeply personal and equally bold piece from our COT Celebrity Collection: A Techno Com by KC watch diamond encrusted wristwatch personally owned and worn by the towering guitarist, vocalist, and co-founder of Mountain, whose sound helped define the raw power of American hard rock. Few guitarists are as instantly recognizable - or as physically and sonically imposing - as Leslie West. From the opening notes of Mississippi Queen, his tone was thick, aggressive, and unmistakably human: distorted but articulate, heavy yet melodic, and utterly fearless. West did not merely play loud - he played with weight, authority, and emotion, helping bridge the blues-based rock of the late 1960's with the heavier forms that followed. As the driving force behind Mountain, Leslie West helped shape one of the most influential power trios of the post-Woodstock era. Climbing! remains a cornerstone album of American hard rock, and Mississippi Queen endures as one of the most iconic guitar riffs of all time - a song that continues to appear in films, television, and popular culture more than five decades after its release. Beyond Mountain, West’s career was expansive and deeply respected. He collaborated with an extraordinary range of artists across generations, from Jack Bruce and Felix Pappalardi to Slash, Joe Lynn Turner, Zakk Wylde, and Yngwie Malmsteen. His influence is routinely cited by guitar legends as foundational, and his tone - thick, vocal, and unmistakable - remains inspirational for players chasing authenticity rather than polish. This watch was not a commemorative object or a stage prop. It appears to have been Leslie West’s personal wristwatch - very heavily worn, enjoyed, and lived with. Its bold flame-pattern dial, oversized diamond encrusted tonneau case, and chronograph layout align naturally with West’s larger-than-life presence and unfiltered musical identity. Like his sound, it favors personality over subtlety and expression over refinement. Our research couldn't turn up another example anything like this flame dialed watch. It may have been made bespoke for Mr. West.   Detailed Appraisal: Manufacturer: Techno Com by KC Designed for: Men Functions: Hours, Minutes, Chronograph,  Quick-Setting Date Case material: Stainless steel with single cut diamonds - we are estimating perhaps approx. 250 totaling approx. 2.5 carats Case markings (inside/outside): "STAINLESS STEEL CASE,” “TECHNO COM by Kc,” “JAPAN MOVEMENT,” and “WATER RESISTANT” Case condition: Good condition; we left it just as we acquired it which includes many signs of wear and abundant dirt Width without crown: 38 mm Length lug-to-lug: 52.5 mm Dial: Flame motif dial with three chronograph sub-registers, luminous hour markers, date aperture at 3 o’clock Hands: Luminous syringe-style Movement type: Japanese quartz Crystal: Domed mineral crystal  Lug width: 24 mm Band: Red leather strap, previously worn Serviced: On the inside, one of our Master Watchmakers has installed a new battery making it ready for enjoyment.
