Day 3: Final round-up
Friday, April 30, 2010 at 4:37PM The last report, Urban Jurgensen and others, Basel 2010
Basel 2010, the place to see what is being created by the leading Independent watchmakers, meet them and find out why, first hand. The AHCI has a stand where member's showcase their products, and usually debut candidate members for the world to see and find out about. Extra-ordinary timepieces, both wrist watches and clocks are on display, all stunning examples of the horological arts.
A visual feast for anyone fascinated by those few individuals willing to risk it all. This year was no exception. I am honored to call many friends and have for the past several years now realised why their work is so compelling. I suggest you take a good look, as I think you will too. Time as they say is the great healer, and in an industry rife with way too much marketing and "hot air", I have found a few redeeming players in a tiny niche and restored my excitement and faith in contemporary fine watchmaking.
Getting to know why they create their works, is for me usually the moment when I truly get to appreciate what it is they create. I hope to share this so others can too.
Cheers,
Tim
