Before leaving the workshop, Swiss watchmaking pioneer Philippe Dufour insists on showing us his party trick: a half-dozen pocket watches set to chime in perfect synchronicity, meant to echo the sounds of the valley. “Marvelous,” says Dufour. It brought us a smile, too. Then again, we’re suckers for the evocative sound of a classic, mechanical timepiece. #stopwatch #watch #swisswatch #swisswatches #watchmaking
