- Patek: No word to talk more about it...
- Breguet of Swatch Group: We all have to pay tribute to the history, and email.
- ALS of Richemont: Enormous scrutinized efforts behind the case, and commitment to improve the whole system.

Let us elaborate more...

Why FP Journe is out of list? Because it could not reach the culminating point yet. It has adorable pieces and detailed innovations. But there must be a time to leap more.

Why AP is out? Because the company could not tell more than Genta's unique design. There have been lots of issues about movement... in-house movement.

Why Vacheron is excluded? Because the parent company would prefer cultivating the another child: ALS Hence, Vacheron is straddling.

Why Philippe Dufour, Kari Voutilainen, Rexhep Rexhepi, Greubel Forsey and so on are out? Because we used to talk about the Holy Trinity, not about the Gods of watchmaking. They are much more tailored.

Why Rolex is not included? Because we pursue the art, instead of cart carrying hundred thousand pieces.

It seems like we may need a few, very few (?three?), categories. This is something up to you enthusiasts. The other question scratching my mind is... voting on TRF could produce different results than WPS / elsewhere.

It's time i start 'picking the brains' of a few longtime enthusiasts.

Perhaps hand the idea over to Steve and mods here. Am 100% cool with TRF taking charge of the whittling down and polls until the final three are chosen.

I agree with your comment on FPJ even though I'm partial to it.

For Breguet, I'm not certain how the current brand has much to do with the historical Breguet other than the name.

Breguet has been in continuous production since its inception.

It has had different owners, but then so has Patek.
