Define a “watchmaker”? So if a skilled watchmaker does not work for Patek Philippe he is not a worthy watchmaker? Even if a watchmaker in China is putting together a fake watch with complications with skill and precision, is he not a watchmaker? If you are an experienced physician working in your private practice and another is on staff at the Mayo Clinic, does that make you less of a physician? The snobbery is precisely the target client of the Swiss watch makers with their exhuberant prices.
