Independents

During the latest Salon Belles Montres in Paris, I took some fresh pics of the Chronometer by Jean-Baptiste Viot I already presented here two years ago. But this time, the watch had its final YG case! Two years later, I still love this watch. Of course, i...  

In a small café, near a court of Justice, just before pleading a case... I saw someone with a strange watch on the wrist. He noticed I was intrigued, and we started to speak. He showed me the watch, a proto. A few weeks ago, we chatted on the phone, and h...

I am seriously thinking of ordering one, and thanks for your advice earlier. if the JBV can have the RW Smith"s chapter ring....that might be it for me!! best, Horo

I would like to have this one, a One Hertz, a Habring 2 foudroyante, a McGonigle tourbillon, the new MB&F (Cannot wait to handle this one in person!)...what am I missing? Daos

Lots of blue, and some mates here know that I like it. Gorgeous movement, love it. Thanks. Vte
