The European Gang Talks Watches #2

A couple of european guys from the global fifth wrist-family meet to talk watches-with a focus on bespoke and/or custom and/or made to measure and/or just slightly modified watches. Is there a difference?

Phil(@pippy), Benoît(@petitsecondes), Wolfgang(@w_a_t_c_h_s_t_y_l_e), Claus(@tapir_ffm) and their guest from Sicily, Elio, @the349designer, think there is! If you think your PorscheDesignWatch is bespoke, because you can choose the rotor (at the cost of a watch from other brands) and the colour of the strap stitching... listen what level Elio has brought to bespoke watch design...
