but it is really elucidating being actively involved with the creation of a new watch. The logistics and implications are mesmerising, sometimes enervating, rarely downright frustrating.
Even the best laid plans, with sufficient fallbacks and backups, sometimes just don't go well, for surprising reasons. The typical Swiss division of labour with numerous suppliers adds a tricky level of complicated network-like interactions. One element fails - tremendous consequences.
We are all looking forward to the day this piece is revealed (in anticipation of the fine watch which hopefully is well receved here. A few of us have some reasons more to yearn for that date ;-)).
Thanks for your support,
Magnus
