An Independent appreciation

By wearing more of this Bauhinia version of the Kudoke2, I’m noting my growing feeling of appreciation for the efforts required of these independent watchmakers. From a wider perspective, I find it interesting how the market craze that rendered so many pr...

And the fact that its not mass produced makes it extra special...which is a collaborative effort that is only possible with independent watchmakers like Stefan. I salute you for supporting independent efforts as they are well deserved.

IMO it’s the best bang for buck in most cases and you get work closely with the artist making your watch to get exactly what you want. To this point, my experience ordering a sub 15k watch from Benzinger is better than an almost 100K piece from Lange. My ...
