Wow, thank you for the kind words!
Yes, Patek Philippe is amazing, and this is definitely a contributing factor as to why they're on the top.
They've got a lot here. I've photographed almost all of it to some degree.
Coming here, I had the pleasure of meeting the enamel artist Anita Porchet. In her French and my broken French, and a lot of help from an interpreter, I've come to a deeper understanding about the art of enamel work, the different techniques, and all of this could not be easily learned from reading articles or books or brochures. You really get a much deeper understanding for what goes on and the rarity to find an artist who is gifted in five different techniques of enamel work. Most are only good at one or two. Unfortunately, this also means that I now want to acquire a piece of Anita Porchet's work, a piece of difficulty and multiple techniques. Which in itself is a whole another problem. Ignorance is bliss.
