"While I was aware of independent watchmakers for a while before I met Tim, I had never really gotten to KNOW them and learn to fully appreciate and love what they do. It is truly refreshing to know the watchmaker as a person rather than a faceless conglomerate or brand - part of their soul is represented in the fantastic products they create. In addition to acquiring their watches, I have been fortunate enough to meet and get to know several of them well - to the point that I consider them more than just talented individuals, they are my friends.

I thank Tim for what he has done and continues to do to educate and inform people about the independents. He is truly a great asset to watch collectors, individual watchmakers and the industry as a whole!"
