Hi Don. Interesting set of watches. I am particularly fascinated by the rotating date.
I had a conversation with a very well known watchmaker just the other day and he was commenting how he was bothered by the central hand of a triple date as it coursed across the dial and distracted from the appearance. He created his own solution and now there is another interesting solution. Does the date indicator jump or is it a gradual turn?
Interesting that this watch shop is so close to home. I suspect there will be many visits in store for you.
Also notable was the watching and the watch that he was wearing in the last picture. I know that watch and find it so very fascinating as well.

Independent Opens His Own Store
We have been following independent watchmaker Romain Delafontaine for several years now. For example here and here . A watchmaker who has worked for many of the big and small houses in the industry in his career, just to drop some names; AP, F.-P. Journe,...
It's not always easy for an independent watchmaker to start up his/her own business.
I salute Mr. Romain Delafontaine for his courage, and wish him a bright future.

Thanks to all of you, I want to add that there will be no wine each time you come... Unless if it's to celebrate something cool (if a purists is coming...) I will be honored to see one of you, and I will thanks Don for his report ! Cheers Romain
Will there be a few r-watches in stock, or are they all made to order?
Thanks for your thoughts. Cazalea
I enjoyed this post. Thank you Mr Corson.
Interesting timepieces. I could see an r-watch on my wrist. M4
