Patek Philippe Grand Exhibition NYC 2017 Part 5: Rare Handcrafts Gallery
By: patrick_y : July 16th, 2017-21:39
Another reason why Horological art an be so enduring is because it can actually be a medium to combine other arts into the same medium. On one side, we have the horological art of a watch movement, some with complications that can convey more than just th...
Shhh! They're my favorite too!

The traffic in this room is already unbearable! It's worse than Bangkok and Los Angeles traffic combined! Average speed: 0.012 km/hr for me. Takes me nearly an hour to get through around 12 meters! Especially after admiring the five craftsmen and their wo...
A great post, thank you.

Now I know what to watch when visiting the exhibition. Best, Kari
It is very impressive at the exhibition
By: Joepny : July 17th, 2017-06:25
many Patek artisans & watchmakers and in fact also some translators for many of us who do not speak French well. Friendly. A wealth of information. I did not go to the PP London Exhibition so I don't know if Patek does this all the time and it was similia...
I concur...

It's too rich for my bank account. Unless I'm willing to bankrupt myself. I guess I could sell my legs as I only need my arms... Can't wait to see what you find!
A very hard thing to do...
By: patrick_y : July 22nd, 2017-11:16
First it's hard to choose. Then it's hard to dig up the money. It's never easy! Congrats on accomplishing the first part though! I'd find it even hard just to choose!
Advance congratulations Dr. Kol!
By: Joepny : July 22nd, 2017-15:18
I was very impressed by the works of art on display and the artisans/watchmakers. Hope you get it soon and we'll see pics on PPro. The minute repeater/world time novelty is my favorite. (NY at night scene.)
There are very nice RG watches
By: dr.kol : July 27th, 2017-07:47
but I like more white metals and WG is on the third palace on my list after platinum & steel. WG tends to turn yellow so I would say that I'm always rather buying a non-gold watch. Steel is practical and platinum has a very special feel on the wrist. Best...
Funny!
By: dr.kol : July 27th, 2017-02:27
Naturally I can ask but I know the answer which will be a polite "No". It seems that Patek does not really like "Special Orders". I have one on the production line and a discussion with Thierry Stern plus two with Jerome Pernici were needed. Now my next a...
You are too modest Kari
By: Joepny : July 27th, 2017-06:45
All Finnish guys are so important to the watch industry. Anyway, if PP can put about a half-dozen of their watchmakers & artisans in NY for the Exhibition marketing event for 10 days, I would think Mr. Stern could approve your special order and have one o...
Hehe...but you are being scientifically correct
By: Joepny : July 27th, 2017-07:34
and there is empirical evidence to support so of course PP should smile and honor your request. 👍 I am excited to hear about your 5131P and look forward to your future post. -joe
Either the map or my home is too small.
By: dr.kol : July 27th, 2017-12:45
But my point was that in my home area there is no snow while in Kola Peninsula there is. The facts are that the part where my house is located, the average annual temperature is 3 degrees lower than in Murmansk, the winter is one month longer and the rain...
Indeed dear neighbour.

Norway has more fjords and oil while we have more lakes. However, I have a property on the banks of river Tana, some 100 meters from Norway. When the Russians come, I will cross the river and learn to say "akkurat". Best, Kari
Thank you!

All the parts are finally up and online. So you can now get a virtual tour on PuristSPro. It may not be as good as the real thing. But it's very complete and almost entirely unabridged. In the several visits I've made, I've seen people who went through so...
Thank you for reading!
By: patrick_y : July 23rd, 2017-04:02
And for commenting! Took a while to get all the pieces up. But wow, what a trip!
Oh yes 👍
By: Alkiro1 : July 22nd, 2017-23:27
Best wishes Alkiro
Superb photos and write up of my favorite part of the exhibition
By: keks : July 17th, 2017-04:44
It was truly amazing to meet and talk to these artisans. So extremely talented and nice people. Personally the wood marquetry blew me away. One person does all Patek wood marquetry and believe he is the only one in the industry so far. Hundreds of near mi...
Awesome photos Keks!
By: patrick_y : July 22nd, 2017-10:50
An honor to have met you too! Great shot by the way. Thanks for posting the photo!
Excellent analogy.
By: patrick_y : July 22nd, 2017-11:11
You hit it on the head, nailed it. What will the magicians at Patek Philippe come up with next? Thank you Patekova for the beautiful words!
Fantastic report
By: FRAM : July 17th, 2017-08:23
Thanks again for a fantastic report from the exhibition. I will try to go at the weekend if i manage to take a timeout from family holiday 😊
Did you make it?
By: patrick_y : July 22nd, 2017-11:08
It's definitely worth it! Or bring the family with you!
Your family appreciates it!
By: patrick_y : July 23rd, 2017-04:06
Thank you for kindly acknowledging my effort! Glad you could spend the additional time with the family!
Incredible
By: Krinck : July 18th, 2017-02:24
Wonderful report. What an unbelievable demonstration of skill and patience. Personally I would panic and start to cry if I was tasked with performing any of these arts.
I'm panicking and crying...
By: patrick_y : July 22nd, 2017-11:06
...in my dreams. But only in my dreams. Now back to reality... Hmm, I've got an project that's totally out of my element. Yikes.
What's that??
By: HGL : July 23rd, 2017-04:52
Anything watch related?😃
Wood maquertry
By: tom2517 : July 23rd, 2017-17:47
And also in PP's effort to preserve these old crafts.
Together with the 5531, these rare handcrafts are the epitome of the event
By: Mark in Paris : July 24th, 2017-06:09
It is a very educational exhibition as Patek invited the artisans to discuss about their work. That's very interesting to see they are not proposing only a one moment limited edition to make a marketting move once in a while but that it is part of their p...
Thank you Mark!
By: patrick_y : July 26th, 2017-23:27
I found this to be one of the most meaningful parts of the event. Now that it's over, all I have left are some autographs from the artisans and a photo of myself with some of the artisans.
Interesting
By: Mark in Paris : July 24th, 2017-07:53
I find it very difficult to extrapolate from the very few elements we gathered here and there indeed as the output can double or be divided by 2 because of a few details. I would say that it would take 2 weeks to make a successful dial (from your info) an...
