This article delves into the enduring appeal of independent watchmaking and the special bond between a collector and a horological masterpiece.
Back from service in Switzerland. Just love this 103 PT. more and more. I remember when I first got it on a summer day and I felt like listening to AC⚡️DC., which I did. This watch is so Rockn’Roll.
Today it’s just a deep affection for this great creation.
Thank you Felix and Martin for risking your life to get this thing on the planet.
