Horological Meandering

Many will know him, but if you don’t (or if you’ve only ever heard his name mentioned without much additional detail), I would recommend reading this article from five years ago on A Collected Man. 

I believe many people still seriously overlook Dr. Crott.

Some of his fellow experts: individuals with remarkable collections, who have written important literature on watches and possess all the necessary connections. Yet, without naming names, some seem to make great efforts to place themselves in the spotlight, whereas Dr. Crott appears to prefer staying under the radar, choosing discretion and modesty instead.

So when I referred yesterday, via this post, Independents: Svend Andersen The Godfather Of Independent Watchmaking And The Book To Discover These 45 Years Of Independence to the importance of Dr. Crott’s foreword in the book by Svend Andersen (especially in terms of content)    ..... do know who Dr Crott is.
