wristwatch.
His partner for the implementation of the idea, he quickly found in the person of Rainer Nienaber, master watchmaker and AHCI member, whom he had met several years earlier and had come to appreciate. Initially planned as a watch only for personal use, it quickly got a great acceptance of the project at other watch lovers significantly and the two decided to make the watch in small series.
