Canadian, eh?

So, he makes his own hands and assembles the watch using Robertson screws. Major components are made elsewhere. As much Canadian as the Fleming is American...
"Very much a made-in-Canada wristwatch, the Paragon is a classical
time-only that’s assembled and partially finished by Mr Taylor in his
home workshop. Mr Taylor produces the hands himself, while most of the
other components are produced by specialists in Switzerland,
including Comblémine, the dial maker owned by Kari Voutilainen.
The Paragon is powered by the Vaucher VMF 5401/32, a large but slim
automatic movement. Mr Taylor specified the very highest grade of the
5401/32, resulting in elaborate, hand-applied finishing. In fact, the
finishing is comparable to that of the same calibre found in Parmigiani
watches, reversing the norm where Vaucher often supplies simply-finished
movement to third-party brands."
