The Habrings are flush with orders
They even told me they are looking to add another watchmaker to the team. Thankfully some independents are doing well, despite the health crisis.

If we support indies by buying from them they wont face such consequences
True, it won’t help the indies
But we all make our own risk-reward analyses and for me it turned out this way.
I'm Not A Big Fan...
