Independents

I started a thread a few days ago asking if anyone was going or had any questions regarding the Independents showing at Geneva. I published the agenda I had in regards to seeing and speaking with several while there. You can see the list in the other thre...  

Trying to minimize travel as much as possible but still want to live life 🤷‍♂️

...the FB watches are sublime. I give them a pass on thickness because of the type of movement and the astonishing level of finishing. Not usually Moser guy but I kind of like the first one with the engraved bezel...the size looks perfect and the 'old sch... 

I wore my Lange Pour Le Merite especially to see the difference and yes the Lange was thinner in profile but it is also smaller in diameter so the ratio of case diameter to thickness was pretty close 😉

...at 7.25" I think I could. Yes, ratios are important. Now there's just the small matter of settling the bill : )

now regarding the bill, well there I cannot help you unless I was looking for wife #2 🤣😂

...in the days before high-speed internet, this would have been described as a modem-burner : )

Unfortunately the dreaded Covid stopped me going. Thanks for sharing this epic with us !

but my eyes started to melt and run down my cheeks.

I think, you sould have done different posts by brands. Purists may have a lot to say about your stunning reportage. I like the Debethune word time. How does it work? Where did you upload the video of the MB&F?

The De Bethune worldtimer is actually one of their most complicated movements. You can see and read about it on their site. As for videos Yohann, I can send a few of them to you directly on WhatsApp as I cannot load them on the site 👍

Sadly, I cannot even show you all some of the uber cool stuff 🤷‍♂️

This is a lot to understand and study but for now it is a feast for my eyes and my imaginations Thanks a bunch for you generous time, post and photos.

Indies are my passion and i wish i was able to attend this event (unfortunately i just came back from Spain and had to do a quarantine for 10 days first so impossible to be there ) but this great post and pics gave me the idea i was there for a moment 🤗. ... 

when returning back to Switzerland and one of them was Monaco which has one of the lowest death rates as well as infected. Makes zero sense as France was not on the list 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Thank you for taking the time to sort and post all of these amazing photos. The independent brands need to be seen and handled to be properly appreciated, and your photos have conveyed their allure very well! The urwerk pieces under embargo have me very i... 

and you can simply wear a Moser Streamliner, Endeavor, De Bethune Diver, etc...during a jog and change back to a Bovet once done 😉

Many gorgeous pieces you could see and touch, you must have spent an amazing time, what an experience ! Huge thanks for sharing all this with us 👍👌🙏🙏

Any impressions on the new Berthoud compared to the older models? Those MB&F clocks look so cool, very intrigued about the Chopard crystal minute repeater as well!

if you look at my wristshots, you can get an idea how they wear. If I were to get one, I would probably lean towards a white gold with black enamel dial since the black dial would also make the watch look a tiny bit smaller. My wrist is around 16.5cm + or...
