Thanks very much for your info, Alex. A customized Haldimann would be pretty special.

A true discovery: My visit to Beat Haldimann
By: alex : May 2nd, 2017-02:24
My first encounter with Beat Haldimann was at the AHCI booth at Basel sometime in 2001 or 2002. I was subjugated by his H1 Flying Central Tourbillon with its mesmerizing dance on the centre of the dial. A very discreet watchmaker, Haldimann set up his wor...
One word - superb!

at Basel in March but he did not speak much English unfortunately. Your brilliant and informative article has given me lots of information of this exclusive brand. I am always impressed when I read about watchmakers of this genre which many may not know t...
Many thanks Alex!

39mm is fine Even on the centre tourbillon?!
Amazing well focused photo!

The watch actually looks great but I have a strange feeling that it is larger than 39mm. Do the lugs wrap around your wrist or do the stick out (Breguet style)?
Thank you

I do love to see behind the scenes and learn a little of how these superb watches come together. I did have to smile however at one of the pictures in the workshops with all the tools hanging neatly on walls. They look more suited to the dismantling of a ...
Fabulous

Thanks Alex - really wonderful to get this glimpse into how I wish more watchmaking was done! There is a sense of honesty in what Haldimann is doing which I really appreciate. Best E.
Thank you so much

For this in-depth tour. The most interesting part to me is his collection of binders of patents. Wow! Thank you again, Brandon
And one more thanks for the report!

Always have liked the center tourbillon very much! Nice to get some more background. And I had no idea there were watches made under the name of Haldimann since such a long time already! Best, HGL
Thank you for yet another marvellous report from your workshop visit

If I wasn't sufficiently jealous of your visit to De Bethune before, I'm certainly now. It seems that the artisanal values of the Haldimann pieces are very high, and your report does confirm as such. A lifetime service is also a great idea. Not because it...
