You might want to discover this TOP independent

I’m pretty sure even a lot of us here never heard about this brand

After all it is a very very small brand

But that makes it Imo more interesting

If you do t mind , here is the link

http://www.watchprosite.com/horologi...26/1504967589/

A simply copy paste did not work and it took me way to long to make this post again lol

So if you want to (probably) discover something new.... just click and read it
I knew the brand since more than 10 years but it is so small and so unknown that to most it will be the first time you see it

Independent watchmakers are doing well and are getting more attention
You don’t want to miss this guy

He does everything himself. He designs makes and finishes every part except the spring, jewels, sapphire and strap.
So dial, case, screws, bridges, hands, and all the rest are handmade and in-house

2 people help him but I don't know what they exactly do. I believe they also make parts but the bigger parts and they don't finish the parts.

The Guy has an incredible set of skills to be able to design & create everything that goes into each of his watches - I wonder what sort of price tag we are talking about?

As you know these kind of watches aren’t cheap
Know that he needs a lot of tools , the same tools as other independents and the tools cost the same no matter if you make 5 or 200 watches per year

The price starts at what patek asks for a gold 5960
So still considerably lower than smith or Voutilainen
But it’s not cheap

Not cheap - however given what’s involved not a bad starting price IMO
