Thank to Andreas Strehler, MTF and DonCorson
for the superb Book you sent me.
The Book is very well written and pationating. I did not know Andreas prior reading his book and I am very impressed by his work, conception of movements, creation and finishings.
2 photos extracted from the Book to illustrate my words and invite you to get one copy.
To appreciate further each of his creations, it need time and I hope one day to meet Andreas as well.
Unfortunately, my small wrist (16mm) does not fit with 47.20mm lug to lug ;-((
A comment: I was trying to imagine a combination with Andreas papillon calibre and a Van Cleefs and Arpels partial open dial.
A mix of 2 perfect designs: the poesy of VC&A and the magnificent high horlogery movement .
Best regards,
Patrickh

I've just received mine this week
But didn't find the time to start reading it. I'm waiting for the right time ! I knew the name but am not really familiar either with his work. I've just been able to meet him yesterday in Paris as Ekaterina from Ekso Watches organised a dedication sessio...
Thank goodness that I don't take pictures anymore.
There is no way they could even get close to the ones in this book! The text is thoughtfully and intelligently writen, providing not only insights into Andreas' background but how the watch industry has become - consciously or not - misdirected over the c...
Got mine as well.
I was fortunate enough to have just met Andreas earlier this year. A wonderful gentleman and gorgeous watches. I didn't have time to visit him in his workshop but I will try to next year. The fantastic historical pictures of many great watchmakers in this...
Nice book!
Thanks for posting. We often don't realize that there are so many people in the watch world that we don't always see everyone, except the celebrities on the surface. And it's amazing how interconnected the watch industry is. Everyone knows everyone. You m...
Paul GERBER history should also be nice to be shared here
Do you have his book and could you post some photos dear Patrick? Funny to know we have a same wrist size so our wristshots will be informative for both and also for Robin ;-)) Cheers, Patrickh
Unfortunately no books...
I don't know, but after speaking with some watchmakers over the years, they often tell me they ran into some trouble with this complication or that complication. Sometimes they called Papi for help, and eventually I think this company was more interested ...
That's just a tip of one of the icebergs.
And for clarity, when I was referencing Papi in my last post on this thread, I was referring to Renaud Et Papi, the complication designer and builder (currently Audemars Piguet owns a portion of this company). Cartier did a super complex tourbillon, perpe...
