H10: Livestream: The Independents C The Future Of High-End Watchmaking

December 08, 2018

The Gronefeld brothers, Maximilian Bsser, and Roger W. Smith each represent particular approaches to this most challenging path, and will discuss the difficulties and rewards of their work, as well as share their thoughts for the future of independent watchmaking in a universe increasingly dominated by big group brands.
