appreciation for these marvels. So, consider yourself a part of this watch. Oh, by the way, yeah, I needed to reassert my claim to fame.

Don Corson, a moment in time - the man, the passion, the watch
By: Mitch K : June 21st, 2009-21:53
Greetings to all, This past week, I had the pleasure meeting up with Don in Philadelphia and I was honored to be presented with the Dresdener Nr.3. I met Don last October during our trip to Switzerland. It was then that I happened to be seated during our ...
Congrats!

Congrats to you Mitch, you are now the first client who owns a Don Corson watch. Congratulations to Don Corson, a watchmaker who found his first (of many to come) client!
Yes, this is a historical moment...

a Purist buys the first watch from a watchmaker who gained fame as a Purist himself. Congratulations to all involved! Cheers, Magnus
Ah Mitch! So you are the man that bought Don's #3 !

He brought it up during our get-together! Congratulations!!! It's truly an unique watch, using pre-industrial process - a one man show - certainly worth a lot of sweat and tears. Wear it in the best of health! Jon
Congratulations Mitch!!

it is my hope and desire to share this watch with all. Unlike any of my other watches, I do not consider it to be only mine. I truly believe that this is Don's and mine. I want to thank Don for letting me be a part of the creative process in some small de...
Dude, that's now the SECOND time!

Don, how does it feel to make your own watch? You can be very proud, my friend. And Mitch, wearing a piece unique? That must be fantastic! Best, Nicolas
Congratulations

to Mitch, a truly unique and beautiful watch, how many people can follow the complete building process of their watch, and how many people can become part of someone elses dream? Great story! to Don, on finding your very first customer, can't wait to see ...
Congratulations, Mitch and Don!

Mitch, a hearty congratulations to you, on the receipt of a simply lovely piece unique, and thanks for supporting an independent watchmaker (and a fellow Purist to boot!). I think it is important to support these lone artisans amongst a sea of more indust...
Actually, I asked Don how he felt about the parting from his creation...
By: Mitch K : June 23rd, 2009-06:55
Don did say to me that he was fine with it leaving the nest as it was the creation of the watch that was the most interesting part. Ever the tinkerer and engineer, once he had finished the watch he was thinking about the next project. He is a true creator...
Congrats to you both!

Good to know Don's creation has found a good home. Now we look forward to No. 4. - SJX
Congrats to both Don and Mitch!

I'm proud to have been present at the dinner when Don and Mitch first sat next to each other. Don, you couldn't have found a better owner for your first watch. May there be many more wonderful creations in the future. Mitch, the watch looks just fabulous....
Congrats Mitch,

A great picture Allen, it brings back many a fond memory. It looks like I

am concentrating on the wonderful food but truth be told I am only eating to hide the fact that I am debating or rationalizing my desire to "do the deal" with Don who is barely seen across the table from me. I hope that our hosts didn't mind that my mind ...
