And the Vacheron Tribute to Great Explorers are wonderful too. I would like to own one but the price is incredibly high :-(
And I am already very happy with my Star Wheel. If, one day, they could combine this system with à RO case... mamma mia!!!
Best wishes

An evening with Urwerk
I had the great pleasure of speaking with Mr. Martin Frei and Mr. Felix Baumgartner (the co-founders of Urwerk) last evening, as well as a chance to see some of their magnificent pieces up close, including the recently launched EMC x-ray. In full disclosu...
Thanks for this very interesting post, Ken. I am very interested in reading your point 2.
I asked the same question to another Manufacture, JLC, to not name it... And received quite the same answer. Best, Nicolas

Hope AP would listen to your great idea. Maybe for the RO concept?
Glad to hear you've got lots of love for the star wheel. It's a very cool piece. Ken
Agree
You can talk with watchmakers like Felix, designer like Giroud, CEO like Max Busser with the same calm you'd use with a friend with whom you share the same passion. I'd tell more, they're glad to find people interested in their work, so they are really pl...
Passion is key
Thanks for your comment, piccolochimico. Interatcion with the artists who create objects that we love (wathes or else) is indeed an essnetial aspect of building our loyalty towards them. Hopefully I'll be able to visit some of my favorite watchmakers at t...
Quite interesting post. I wish I could attend an URWERK dinner for the opportunity to speak Felix and/or Martin. Of course..
I would want to see and play with the watches
Well worth spending the time to check out these pieces...
if you happen to come across any of them in stores or through fellow collectors. Not just for Urwerk, but other indie brands as well. First-hand encounters do fuel the passion even further. Ken
