Nice book!
Thanks for posting.

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 illust...

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...
