I am a big supporter of the independents. That may be an understatement. I am not concerned about the future need for servicing. I would strongly urged you not to be concerned either. For the most part

there will always be someone able to work on the watches. It may be a bit challenging on some of the more unique ones but certainly for the less complicated ones there will always be someone to service the watch. In fact I do know that some of the independents are quite able to work on virtually any piece. Remember many of them had their early careers in restoration.

If you still are concerned don’t be.

Be free
Be independent
These folks are well worth the support that we give them.

Like the man(and his creations) more and more.i doubt i ll break my own rule(not buy indys due to its unforseeable future servicing),but VH personality is really tempting.

Would love to collect him - but out of my price range!

Vianney is a genius. Future “must have” for our generation of watchmakers- especially the Antiqua or Deep Space models. My $0.02

I have one, plus autographs and several meals with him

I think that’s how it starts ... doesn’t it? Same with Kurt Klaus, only I have had 3-4 of his. And Paul Gerber, several of his. And G-R Lang - multiple Chronoswiss Oechslin & Beat = two Ochs & junior Best way to get hooked is to meet the makers, I think. ...

Though I own only one VH, I wear it with some regularity and really enjoy it. It is so cool (to me) on so many levels -- a true pleasure. Your post motivated me to wear it today. ...  

I am a huge fan of the man, but could not get a watch (yet)
