Independents

Does anyone else own one? I never see these anywhere which is odd.




Can anyone explain why?

It may be due to production numbers, very low amount of advertising (I have only seen them on Instagram a few times), and no boutique presence. They have 30 retailers in the entire world, 14 of which are in Asia, 2 in the US, 11 in Europe, and 3 in the Middle East.

...that someone here has one. But maybe it was just a post about the watch.

Me that posted.

...but I think it was a bit back. I will see what I can find...

My year of birth.
To do it different, i took a 1950 watch to celebrate.
74 years old birth year present.

Had them both for a couple of years each before they were sacrificed at the alter of the next great thing







You don't see them because they are rare, a bit of a Dutch thing and since the new management took over not as authentic for me anymore. S

I always love the brand and bought my first watch from them more then 20years ago , that one and the experience i had with Mr Vd Klaauw kickstarted my love for independent brands .
When the brand was sold years later i started to loose my connection with the brand because of there market strategy . Pim Koeslag took over the majority of the shares and management two years ago i regained interest and appreciation again because he is a true watchmaker with love and appreciation for the history of the brand . Really looking forward to see what they will do in the future.
Planning to visit their atelier again next week.

Great watch.
