Why Philippe Dufour Matters. And Its Not A Secret ArchiveI have no secrets as past watchmakers had. There are graveyards full of secrets and thats enough. Philippe Dufour, 2. Have you heard of Philippe Dufour Chances are, if you have been collecting watches for any significant period of time, his name is well known to you. But Im not assuming that everyone reading these words is a collector, or even a dyed in the wool watch enthusiast. I meet many people in my watch related comings and goings who arent either aware, or fully aware, of Dufour and his work. That said, a great deal has already been said, written, and recorded about Philippe Dufour. My Quill Pad colleagues Elizabeth and Ian have both written at length on the man, he has appeared in videos and movies, and there is even a Japanese comic book about himOver 100,000 HQ DivX TV Movies All DVD Quality 99.

Nonetheless, I have such deep respect for Philippe that Id like to set out my personal views first on why I believe that he is important to the world of horology, and second on why he is important to me as a person. Lets get going. The five key descriptors I feel are critical to understanding Dufours significance to the watch world are foundation, tradition, innovation, perfection, and perpetuation. Foundation. When I was a young instrumentalist, any trip to the music store or request for an audition inevitably began with the query, Whos your teacher Whether in playing or composing, apprenticeship has long been a critical element of musical mastery, and the same is true of top level watchmaking. A young Philippe Dufour image courtesy Le Club HorlogerHaydn, in addition to influencing Mozart, taught Beethoven, who taught Czerny, who taught Lizst. In the horological world, Charles Meylan schooled Kari Voutilainen George Daniels influenced and inspired Franois Paul Journe and worked closely with Roger Smith and it was Gabriel Locatelli who passed along many of the critical secrets to Philippe Dufour.

Locatelli was prolific in his influence over a period of years, he passed his knowledge along to many others, including Eric Coudray of Jaeger Le. Coultre Gyrotourbillon and Reverso Repetition Minutes fame and young horological superstar David Candaux. Dufour and Locatelli had a close relationship that survived well beyond their times at Jaeger Le. Coultre. Prior to his untimely death in a motoring accident, Gabriel worked together with Philippe, and even built the Simplicity prototype that is Philippes daily wearer.

Another thing that Dufour has in common with many other great watchmakers is the time that he spent as a restorer of fine vintage timepieces. In doing so, he was able to learn the patterns distinguishing watchmaking traditions and even individual watchmakers from each other. He also learned to identify a variety of ways of solving given problems, and, ultimately, to find his own desired form of expression based on the traditional movement architectures and artistic expressions of the Valle de Joux from the period between 1. Dufour s work perpetuates, and extends, that great tradition. Innovation. Dufour does not consider himself a great innovator in fact, he often claims that there is nothing new in horology. Certainly, he has drawn inspiration from prior inventions. For instance, heres a photo of a student watch from 1. Dufours twin escapement Duality. Find Oscars 2017 news and blogs about Oscar History.

Biography Movies Watch Mr. Hublot ' title='Biography Movies Watch Mr. Hublot ' />A Le Sentier horological school watch with two escapements the inspiration for Philippe Dufours Duality photo Gary. GBut it would be dead wrong to say that Philippe has not brought innovation to his work. Among other things, he was the first to make a grande et petite sonnerie in wristwatch form and the first to make a dual escapement wristwatch with differential. He was also among the very first to use computer aided design CAD tools something that might surprise those who consider him old fashioned and he utilizes leading edge methods such as spark erosion to manufacture raw components that he then turns into jewels with his deft touch. Finally, he helped to drive business model innovation in watchmaking by having the courage to go out on his own as an independent. He wasnt the first independent, but along with George Daniels he showed the way for really top rate watchmaking as a road to creative and commercial independence. Perfection. At this point an anecdote if you ever visit Philippes workshop and look in the right spot, you will see a set of identical appearing cylindrical plugs hanging on a board. I happened to ask what they were for, and heres the response. The case maker is unable to make the interior circumference of the Simplicity case to the tolerance that I like. So, I use these cylinders, of slightly varying size, to identify the exact interior diameter of a given case, and I then machine the base plate of the movement to fit exactly inside. For me more chills spill down the spine just trying to imagine the sheer level of commitment required to do this sort of precise matching of movement to case. Not to mention dozens of other things that Im sure we dont know when there is a pretty good chance that they will never come to light. The visible results are as near to perfection, in my opinion, as a hand finished timepiece can be. There is obviously mastery of technique involved, but also a deep desire to apply that mastery. At this level, to me, its no longer just craft, but authentic artistic expression. Close up of the movement of a Philippe Dufour Simplicity showing the sublime hand finishing photo Gary. GPhilippe held our group of collectors spellbound this past January talking about some of the secrets of his craft how when he files a part, both the file and piece must move in order for them to work together to create a perfect surface. And how, when he uses a bow to polish a jewel sink, he can tell when its perfect by the temperature of the polishing rod on his fingers. Perfection, achieved at the intersection of knowledge, experience, and passion. Perpetuation. This includes an important sub element inspiration. Kari Voutilainens recent biography states that Kari was inspired to start up his own independent atelier after a conversation with Dufour. Behind the scenes, Philippe encourages and counsels other independents, including Romain Gauthier whose Logical One knocked my socks off. He shares freely of his insights and helps troubleshoot difficult technical problems encountered by his colleagues. More publicly, he is a central figure in the Le Garde Temps, la Naissance dune Montre project along with Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey. Philippe is working actively with watchmaker Michel Boulanger an expert restorer and professor in his own right to pass along the secrets of making a high quality watch by hand so that they can be preserved and passed on for future generations. Innovation plays a role here as well, with many of the techniques being captured via 3. D video. So, thanks in part to Philippe, the Boulangers and Gauthiers and many others to come are poised to become the Czernys and Lizsts of horology. Finally, Dufours adaptations of earlier innovations are themselves inspiring new watches. A recent example of this is the dual escapement Legacy Machine 2 by MB F, whose founder Maximilian Bsser says was very much inspired by the Dufour Duality. Two examples of MB F Legacy Machine No. Philippe Dufour Duality all feature two escapements linked by a differential photo Gary. GDufour and ISuffice it to say that I feel presumptuous simply typing the subtitle above It has, however, been my distinct privilege to meet Philippe on a number of occasions and get to know him a bit, and so perhaps I can be forgiven a few personal observations. Baseball. Sports and Games sportsandgames. Baseball is a bat and ball sport played between two teams of nine players each. The goal is to score runs by hitting a thrown ball with a bat and touching a series of four bases arranged at the corners of a ninety foot square, or diamond. Players on one team the batting team take turns hitting against the pitcher of the other team the fielding team, which tries to stop them from scoring runs by getting hitters out in any of several ways. A player on the batting team can stop at any of the bases and later advance via a teammates hit or other means. The teams switch between batting and fielding whenever the fielding team records three outs. One turn at bat 3 outs for each team constitutes an inning nine innings make up a professional game. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins. Evolving from older bat and ball games, an early form of baseball was being played in England by the mid eighteenth century. This game and the related rounders were brought by British and Irish immigrants to North America, where the modern version of baseball developed. By the late nineteenth century, baseball was widely recognized as the national sport of the United States. Baseball on the professional, amateur, and youth levels is now popular in North America, parts of Central and South America and the Caribbean, and parts of East Asia. The game is sometimes referred to as hardball, in contrast to the derivative game of softball. PNC Park is a baseball park located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
