You have a very rare and fine Genevoise timepiece designed and made by a highly skilled artisan watchmaker, who I had the pleasure of working with for a few years.
Like many, Nicolas Delaloye was a little ahead of his time, and as the economic reality of 2008 hit, was unable to continue his business even with the help of his brother, who was on the marketing/sales side.
A real shame, as his talent and style of watchmaking I really liked.
He remains in the industry, and as a former PP employee in their complications dept. and restoration dept. (pretty sure my memory serves me correct on the second of these) his skill set is still used by PP in various ways.
He’s also a beekeeper in his spare time, something he shares with another master Independent Watchmaker in Ipsach.
Wear it well my friend, and thrilled to see it here.
Cheers,
Tim
