Independents

The Force Is Strong In This Room! Thanks for sharing rOBIn-WONg-KENOBI!

 

So many Jedi Masters! 

A lot for all the young padawans to learn from all the Jedi Masters! 

Thanks for all the pictures! 

I'm really happy to see MELCHIOR.  It's amazing though, all the MELCHIORs have been sold already and is more or less sold out in every market. 

I've always been a fan of Felix's work.  Revolutionary.  The guy is just amazing.  Not a huge fan of his latest watch with a circuit board.  Not sure I'm a fan of "hybrid watches" yet, although if you look at the Porsche 918, Ferrari LaFerrari, and McLaren P1 they're all hybrid-electric cars...  I've yet to catch up with the times...

And I love how Max Busser has evolved MB&F to become a lifestyle company of all things watch/clock micro-mechanic related, but at the same time tugging at our heart-strings of the most basic form of life, young life, a child's life, and incorporating that special child-like innocence in our every day lives.  His latest MELCHIOR appeals to the child within all of us at so many levels.  Max Busser brings back child-like innocence for adults! 

Which watch did you feel most strongly about?  Which one had the FORCE over you?

On Urwerk and MB&F My personal favorite last night has to be the MB&F frosted LM 101s. The one in yellow gold especially! Cheers Robin ...  

Thanks Fx!

I missed seeing these at Basel show because they moved from the usual Palais exhibition hall. Like translocating a Death Star ;) Regards MTF ...  

Death Star prototypes perhaps!

Hang on... I thought Felix is a general of the rebel alliance? Or does he work for the empire ?!! Oh no... Many PuristS lives are in danger now! :p Cheers Robin

Most likely ,and hopefully,amongst the ones that will remain forever... I applaud their courage and vision ,hard to find in a very stale industry dominated by the big boys..... Watchmaking or moneymaking?These guys went for the former,,,,,well done.. Mo

I agree Mo

I also admire their passion and innovation Above commercialism These masters use the lightsaber as their weapon of choice. An elegant weapon before the dark times... Before the empire Cheers Robin

Ahh... Hope you can visit Singapore one day Mark
