How does Romain Gauthier timepieces compare..........
To other independents, such as Kari, Peter Speake-Marin, Philippe Dufour, Roger Smith and FP Journe?

In what I have seen and read the quality of the watch looks exceedingly well made, would you agree?
I would be most grateful for any replies regarding my questions.
