I don't know how to do a poll anymore, but could we do a rough count of the PuristS who have AHCI watches? After foversta's post today I thought it might be interesting to see if between us, we have watches from most (or all) of the AHCI members. I am goi...
Mike, This survey is fraught with problems. One: there is no denominator. Two: there is no criterium for quality or independence. Independent assembly vs Independent manu- facture? Even if hand crafted....done well by a meister or cobbled together by a we...
thus those are the only rows in the spreadsheet. However, I can see for example that: Paul Gerber could be associated with MIH (assembly) although did not design all of it, or have its brand name. Frank Jutzi watch was actually "created" or customized by ...

Looking down the list you include Dubuis. I am not sure they are any longer an independent as I believe that they are partially owned by Richemont. In the list of other independents I could add to that list with a Roger Smith, Don Corson, and Romain Gauth...
