1) surely its no coincidence that all DRs life long work gathered together without an "invisible hand" at work?? -
2) your JDN is simply breathtaking, even without the usual closeup sot. i only came to know about this watch in one of your VC posts exhanges, and have since checked out on it. thks fr sharing
3) i am always sceptical about these "collaborative" works. how much work did Mr Roth actually do to Chapter Two, and was he involved right from the conceptualization stage or he was brought in for technical direction? other brands have used this collaborative effort approach, Max Busser comes to mind, and i am a big fan of his work. MBFs for example breaks down all the work done by the different people/artisans/watchmakers on their website. does Maitres du Temps elaborate the individual involvement of respecive watchmakers?
4) very good snapshot and summary of DR's life time work.
Best,
Horo
