Independent Watchmaking in 2024.
I believe artisanal Independent Watchmaking is noble and worth supporting. I’m compelled to share this niche aspect of Horology. I also like to make that human connection and find for you, the watchmaker & their timepiece that is the most compelling. My goal is to celebrate and promote this micro-mechanical horological art form. I am thrilled to represent as an AD many of the artisanal Independent Watchmakers. I have relationships with many others too not listed, cultivated over the past 23+ years.
The Independent Watchmaking journey is one of constant learning and expanding of one's mind; this path is the one less travelled...but the one I think worth going down. It takes enormous discipline, guts and dedication to be an Independent Watchmaker. I find it compelling in today's rather all too "homogenized" world, that these bold folk have embarked on their chosen paths, to differentiate themselves and express their micro-mechanical art form in the world of Horology.
How fantastic is it to be able to own a piece from a living master watchmaker, and to have a relationship with that watchmaker, where one can gain an appreciation of why they create their lovely timepieces.
It is my pleasure and honour to represent them, bring forth information about them, together with a little of my commentary along the way. I've spent the last 24+ years, traveling with them down their paths and have come to realize that this way often leads to horological enlightenment! I invite you to spend some time learning about them.
