Most likely ,and hopefully,amongst the ones that will remain forever... I applaud their courage and vision ,hard to find in a very stale industry dominated by the big boys..... Watchmaking or moneymaking?These guys went for the former,,,,,well done.. Mo

I agree Mo

I also admire their passion and innovation Above commercialism These masters use the lightsaber as their weapon of choice. An elegant weapon before the dark times... Before the empire Cheers Robin

Good food, great Indies, good company, great watches exposed...
