You are so welcome Mike!

After our Purist GTG a few summers ago (thanks to you) featuring Indie watchmakers including Vianney Halter, I knew I needed to add one of his pieces to my collection. I suggested the blued hands and he suggested the blued numerals to match. That's what I love about getting to meet the makers and collaborate on something special! Cheers, my friend!
