Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants (AHCI) och F.P. Journe har en tävling för att stimulera och lyfta fram nya begåvade urmakarämnen. Två svenskar tilldelades ett av de tre priserna och utmärkelsena.
Swedish entrants Pontus Köhler, 22, and Sebastian Schlette, 27, are hoping their handmade tourbillon will put their Scandinavian country on the watchmaking map. “We are small,” concedes Mr Köhler, “but we want to show we can still swim with the big sharks”.
Egengändigt ihopplockad tourbillon, imponerande gjort och härlig svengelska!
Är detta killar som hänger här?
"Sebastian Schlette, 27, and Pontus Köhler, 22, are first-year students at Urmakarskolan IHU, a Swedish watchmaking school. Inspired by Abraham-Louis Breguet, the inventor of the tourbillon mechanism, they made a fully working model of a gravity-cancelling device, which cancels the effects of gravity, from obsolete parts and scraps."
Även en dansk knep ett pris; Kristian Myren Riis, a student at the Danish School of Watchmaking
