Inside the atelier
So much skill goes unrealised and uncelebrated in China, and in the worlds of watchmaking and fine craftsmanship, this is especially true.

A Master Amidst Swiss Peaks
Scattered in and amongst Switzerland's snow-capped summits, picturesque valleys and tranquil lakes, the finest

Experience the new manufacture alongside Robin and Wilfried as they travel to Dandong, and interact with those

Turned mechanically into the surface of metal blanks, their ever-shifting highlights and shadows mirror the journey of the artisan whose hands are responsible for them. This is especially so in the case of Cheng Yucai, whose journey to being the first guilloché master craftsman in China was far from straightforward...
