For the past two weekends we have had two of the smallest Independent watchmaking companies visit us in southern CA. One could say at either end of the handmade watchmaking spectrum in terms of the level of hand finishing of the movements, but equally passionate are their creators and their contribution to the watchmakers art in terms of pure enjoyment. I have known Maria & Richard for 5 years now, and this recent visit was the best yet. Read on for more information and pictures...
This is my general discussion and news area, where you will find my musings about the Independent watchmaking world that I love. As I have got to know most of these watchmakers quite well personally, that connection is a big part of why these timepieces are so compelling. Their blood, sweat & tears have gone into creating these horological works of art, and I find that worth supporting. I hope you'll join me. Cheers, Tim
