Key Points from the Discussion

The initial challenge of identifying the watchmakers was heightened by the limited visual clues, with the third wristshot proving particularly difficult due to the subject wearing a Vacheron Constantin, a brand not typically associated with independent watchmakers.
The hint that all three were 'indie watchmakers' was crucial, shifting the focus away from corporate watchmakers and prompting a re-evaluation of initial assumptions, especially regarding the Vacheron Constantin wearer.
One participant provided a detailed explanation for guessing Jean Genbrugge, noting his role as the movement and dial designer for the Vacheron Constantin Mercator, and his status as an accomplished watchmaker and enamel artist.
The winner, Gelato Monster, identified the third watchmaker, KV, by recognizing his unique proportions, shape, body gesture, and style, indicating a deep familiarity with the individual's public persona.
The presence of a Shanghai Tang item, possibly a cap or suit, initially led to speculation about a Richemont connection, but the 'indie' hint refocused the discussion on the watchmaker's personal style and potential collaborations.
One participant humorously suggested that the winner's observational skills were so keen they could 'work for a secret government agency,' highlighting the impressive deduction required to solve the quiz.

One thing is certain my friend: the third gentleman MADLY loves Richemont....amazingly, both his shirt (from a Chinese brand called Shanghai Tang...), suit (again ST), and watch (Vacheron) are all under Richemont! ;-))

PS: Fashion choices aside, no doubt three terrific watches! ;-) Cheers.

I'm actually betting heavily on the 3rd because it is out of most people's guess ;-)
