    I was concerned with the use of 22kt gold as, to its softness; only to be instantly put at ease--by --the use of 18kt ,for the parts requiring more strength. A truly, breathtaking timepiece, that can be worn, with humility: utterly beautiful. Such a piece makes me feel: the soul of creativity is far from extinguished .

ALS have the pedigree (even though it got mixed up for a while ) but the knowhow was technically unbroken because it was passed on and now Glasshute has a school to make sure these techniques and skill would not be lost (which can be said with almost all ) .
