I particularly respected his appreciation for mathematics, which for me is one way to articulate the beauty of things.
Honestly, I was surprised when Dufour was telling his early history and how he didn’t like/wasn’t good at maths. I had assumed a deep appreciation of maths (and to an extent physics) and skill was a common feature of watchmakers. But that’s probably a bia...
Great post, and if I many humbly say....
