Hi Ian,

While these two have been behind the scenes for awhile, it is a testament to their combined talents that they have been acknowledged so quickly in their "public" watchmaking life. Their work is phenomenal - technically brilliant, perfect execution, first class finishing. It is an understatement to say this honor is well deserved. Congrats to Robert and Stephen!

Cheers,

Curtis
