Thanks PinkPanther,
That might be the case but personally I do not believe it.
Because of my work I have visited a lot of different industrial facilities and my impression about the "Farm" was that it is a very sophisticated Show Room.

Interesting....
So, if you are looking for a minute repeater elsewhere, I assume that the visit left you somehow dissatisfied.... I also visited a manufacture recently and there were empty benches... on the other hand they produce a lot less watches.... If you have the t...
Minute repeater
Been around a few watches. Will have to second the vote on JLC. Good luck beating the sound, history, design, engineering, best all around package. IMHO. I know people get there identity by the watch they wear so I'm not trying to offend anyone. Bust I mu...
Logically, we must be talking about assembly...
.... Otherwise, it doesn't make sense. I suppose we are talking about complicated pieces only. But does it really matter? IMO, its a marketing trick that is supposed to make you feel that you are getting something precious because just one person gave it ...
