In April of 2023, a small group of watch enthusiasts visited the Zeitwinkel workshop in Saint-Imier. As part of the international enthusiasts’ group “Fifth Wrist”, they got to dive deep into what we mean by “traditional” manufacturing methods for our movements and watches.
We like that they did not try to write a “polished” article but rather collected the impressions from all participants. Here’s the link:

Fifth wrist is a watch enthusiast community that aims to share knowledge among fellow enthusiasts. Besides a hugely popular series of podcast called “Fifth Wrist Radio”, the group also hosts a review website. On fifthwrist.com, the end consumers who actually own the watches write reviews that are often much more useful to other watch lovers than those found in traditional watch media.
