The Single Men - AHCI

This is it, this is what it's all about. The passion for handcrafted timepieces, to visit these genius watchmakers and great persons in their ateliers, to see how they do finish a watch, to see how they finish each single piece in every watch, to talk with them about what their philosophy is. For me it is the greatest honour to know some of these greatest watchmakers on earth!

Kind regards.

H8 by Haldimann

The H8 by Haldimann. It is called the flying sculpture, because there is only the tourbillon in the center "flying" over a black dial without hands and without indexes. With its 17.8mm diameter tourbillon cage, 14.5mm balance and 18.000bph, you really get hypnotised by this timepiece and let you think about what time really is.

Benzinger timepieces, guilloché machine

Polishing tools by Haldiman Horology

Polishing tools in front of the tourbillon cage by Haldiman Horology. These polishing tools are used by Beat Haldimann to polish by hand for example the tourbillon cage. It takes more than a week to polish the complete tourbillon cage by hand!

It is this what is so fascinating to me about these highly exclusive independent watchmakers. Every time when I am visiting these genious watchmakers in their ateliers it is like entering a different world. This is what watchmaking is about, passion, dedication, skills and perfection.
