Audemars Piguet's new “Établisseurs” collection
The practice of watchmaking , known as “ établissage ,” is a method that spread from the 18th century onwards in the Jura region, particularly in the Neuchâtel mountains. It involves dividing the manufacturing work into small , specialised , and independe...
I like the desk watch and the shaped movement in the last timepiece.
And, of course, the craftsmanship behind these creations is extraordinary even if they are beyond a dream for mere mortals to ever acquire. Thanks for posting Emmanuel. M4

piercing saw blades the movado ermeto as a table/bebside clock ...

In French the words used are "scie traditionnelle" (traditional saw). Would "coping saw" or "scroll saw" be better? The stand of the Movado is a nice feature.
