Visiting the atelier of David Candaux

There are watchmakers, and then there are watchmakers.

Logan Baker, reporting for Phillips Auctioneers, pays a visit to the atelier of David Candaux.

With regards to Candaux's choice of titanium for the bridges of his timepieces, Baker writes:

For Candaux, titanium is the ideal material for modern watchmaking because, unlike nickel silver, which was once considered innovative due to its non-magnetic and stainless properties, it is also highly resistant, biocompatible, and a natural material, ensuring exceptional longevity for each timepiece.
