Exceptional watchmakers get special attention on CTWG and Nienaber Bunde would be one of them. Retrograde specialties and hand made beautiful watches are all you will find in his collection. If you make your way to Hall 5 in Basel you will find some of these special watch professionals, showing pieces they labored over for years.
