Thanks a lot for sharing the atmosphere of the evening.

From the results we know and to join what you said about the spirit of the industry, I really think independant watchmaking brings something that would really be lacking if they didn't exist.

I'm happy to notice each day that many of the people working in that field are true watch fans and not only business professionals.

Cheers Oliver,

Mark
