CABESTAN Question...
I read a thread somewhere here that Vianney Halter is no longer working on the Cabestan project but it has in fact been produced and being sold. I am curious, if this is true, what happened to the project that resulted in his departure from the monumental watch? I did a simple search here and found nothing to clarify the point so I thought to open this thread.
Please pardon me if this question touches on a raw nerve. If the people who know the facts feel the information is sensitive, do email me direct. Thanks!
Cheers!
