Damn, if I can just write half as good as you ....
I particularly like this sentence: "I know that small companies like these are the nightmare of financial analysts and investment gurus, but I like them." Yes, I too, have driven many bankers to tears
... However, I hope that following the last year's crisis, companies that focus on a slow, but steady growth, and are ready to accept some bad times as well, without firing the majority of their employees, will be valued higher in the regard of the ranking agencies. On the other hand, it seems that barely anything has been learned from the crisis.
they r missing a bit of sparks... or sex appeal sort of speak. I have pass through its Venetian boutique a few times and among boutiques, CFB seem to be missing some luster to lure ppl in somehow. I have learned a lot though PPro knowing this brand is lots hard work and they really should be recognized.
Thanks for the article, i like the CFB1000 backside alot, too bad its a bit to its disadvantage that its not easily appreciated by avg joe
It's a very interesting read and I personally resonated with many of the points that you made.
Before DRMW first told me about the A1000 movement last year, and before I read your article, I never thought twice about CFB as a serious horological innovator...
I like it how it is independent and small. All of these things will make the company nimble enough to do great things. It reminds me somewhat of Ulysse Nardin.
I am impressed by its facilities and especially by the unconventional GMT movement in the TravelTec.
Great start!
Hopefully CFB can come up with some attractive, unique and memorable designs in the future.
