Thank you very much! I will take the time

to read this article. The only thing that I don’t understand is this idea of “entirely handmade”: among Greubel’s watches, only the Hand Made 1 and 2 are entirely made by hand. Ferdinand Berthoud has recently released the Naissance d’une montre 3, which i

A bit slow around here, so please allow me to share some quick photos I took at the Phillips New York auction preview…

Seen at Watchtime: Greubel Forsey's Hand Made 1 (and a few others). What do you think?

What a pleasure to try this on and give it a loupe look-over! Certainly something to see in person, if possible. Notice the cork strap! Alligator will be phased out soon for GF watches, is what I was told. It's about 13mm thick, 39.6mm wide. The finishing

I am particularly happy to see that there is a big proportion of Indies in the winners, and most of them are well known by us here. Because we are in the Indies Forum here, we'll concentrate on this segment and leave others announce the other winners even
