Independents are my thing. In 2022 Stefan made a beautiful rose gold K2 for me known as the Rhododendron. In 2019/2020, I acquired three Mosers, a 38mm rose gold Endeavor, a Steamliner, and a Heritage with the funky blue dial. Since then I completed a piece unique with Michiel Holthinrichs and oddly enough, a Sous Marine ll with Laventure. Currently, I’m doing a piece unique project with James Lamb in the UK. Supporting and working with independents has been a great experience even though I still enjoy the occasional JLC or Cartier!
I like Habring2 because they are accessible. Erwin Globetrotter and the Felix Chrono with the Bauhaus red and blue theme are stunning in their simplicity.
MING watches are great, have few of their references & their design language is very independent and unique. Moser is another one that I can't get enough of, their pioneer line is so comfortable to wear daily.
