AHCI - Independent Watchmakers' Exhibition in Hong Kong

Independent Watchmakers' Exhibition in Hong Kong

May 25, 2018,06:33 AM

By accident, I attended the Independent Watchmakers' Exhibition in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Hong Kong. There was a discussion forum moderated by SJX, and the works of the following master watch makers were presented: Hajime Asaoka, Laurent Ferrier, Romaine Gauthier, Ludovic Ballouard, Vianney Halter, Christophe Claret, George Daniels, Roger Smith, Christian Kling, De Bethune, Philippe Dufour, Kari Voutilainen.

Messrs. Voutilainen and Asaoka were there. Sorry if I didn't recognize other masters if you happened to be there.

Here are some photos of the event. I apologize for the bad photography as I had only my cell phone with me, not having prior knowledge of this event. The reflection from the display boxes didn't help either.
Enjoy, Henry

It's a great opportunity to see so many top notch indie pieces under one roof, and to meet some fellow collectors/purists along the way. Seeing a Roger Smith next to a George Daniels was special. Was also very impressed by Christian Klings' work. The cher...
