Is a watchmaker ever an artist? Michael Clerizo spent months
listening to eleven of the worldˇ¦s most renowned watchmakers.
From the Isle of Man to the Left Bank of the Seine, from Barcelona
to Dresden, from the Jura Mountains to Lake Geneva, these
extraordinary individuals told their stories. We hear of lives
heavily laced with setbacks but sustained by an all conquering
passion and suffused with the sweet satisfaction of mastering the
skills of mechanical watchmaking, and crowned with the invigorating
success of finding others willing to buy and treasure their work.
