Mike, that is consistent with all my interactions with him going back to 2017 or so.
And the Indies Tour. That would be a special thing to do again, there is huge benefit in my opinion in being with others for these visits as someone inevitably asks a question you wouldn’t have thought of and so to me the learning is always amplified.
How could we do such a tour again? Or has that moment passed given how much more most of these watchmakers now receive guests (it is a much more regular occurrence than even pre COVID, let alone ten or more years back).
Manufacture Visit : Romain Gauthier Part I
I was thinking folks may have been tired of my continuous posting of the C6 and so I held off posting this follow up until now. To recap briefly; after many years admiring Romain Gauthier’s watches I finally committed to one in mid 2023. It was, as many o...
Thank you for reading and responding.
One note for you; there is some really great bike riding in this area. When I was there several weeks ago there were countless cyclists (serious looking cyclists) out on the roads and hills. It got me thinking.
Always great to hear passion filled stories.
I don’t think we can ever get tired of sharing. Have a wonderful week. Bill
Agreed Bill.
If I was not the OP I would thoroughly enjoy seeing a post like this too.
Wonderful to unbox your new watch at the manufacturer.
Congrats, once again, Jay. The Insight Micro Rotor looks awesome on your wrist too.
The Insight really does…
…like I mentioned, leaving my (then) new watch behind and instead wearing Moe’s watch definitely got me thinking !
Thanks for sharing
Love visit of the manufacture like what you did. Moe's IMR is beautiful isn't it?
Yes. It really is well a thought out and executed IMR.
It was a pleasure to visit, and in fact I returned again several weeks ago. I am hoping to go again early next year perhaps.
A very nice Gauthier C6.
For sure you'll enjoy it in the years to come. Congratulations!
Many thanks Henry.
It’s been almost 9 months now, and very much my go to everyday watch.
Thanks Jay for posting. Whether your short or longer posts,
They tend to always be very thoughtful and well written. You are a great story teller….
Haha, maybe too many words !!!
Although I will add while I love the photo centric structure of this forum we do need to pair that with some thoughts / opinions. WPS has suffered badly with the loss of many more technical members and contributors. But there are still stories to be share...
Well, the good news is that several have been resold.
The bad news may be that the asking prices were high.
Thanks - mind if I ask did you just email them?
Figuring out best way to approach to maybe see about a future piece. Thanks! - Sebastian
Thanks for all the visit...
Photos. Shouldn't have looked at the food, as I am hungry.
So many thanks for sharing these nice pics and making us participating in your nice visit to Romain
That reminds me the Indies Tour I had organized some years back for almost twenty Purists members, and Romain was so kind caring and attentive with all of us during our visit. I’m sure you’ve spent a wonderful time 👍
Mike, that is consistent with all my interactions with him going back to 2017 or so.

Please enjoy this nice post made by one of the attendants of this incredible tour
To be honest it took me several months to organize this incredible tour. In less than three days we could visit the most gifted watchmakers. The vibe was simply amazing as you can imagine… www.watchprosite.com
I remember this when originally posted Mike, but completely forgot the post.
Thanks for digging it out. It deserves a repost on the front page I think. It’s also interesting to note the pictures from the machine room. I’ve been to the manufacture twice in recent years and the policy downstairs now is definitely no photos. I would ...
