It's been a quiet week at Lac Neuchatel.

The recent Quartz training has run its course with little fanfare...and little interest…Yawn

…Now we cheerfully return to more mechanical (and more complicated) entities.

The routine of training while completing the 9 required repairs continues. We have learned that students may no longer work late unless "behind"...Let us hope this eliminates burn out among the horologeries.

Three more manufacturers have withdrawn from the Basel Fair in order to attend the SIHH in Geneva..ah hem...the "prestigous" SIHH in Geneva. See this link:

We find it ironic that Kent's invitation to the SIHH was extended by Breguet who will not be in attendance..humm? Who knows the intricate politics of marketing fine time pieces...

...it's been a quiet week in Lac Neuchatel....
