I’d hardly call Manfredi a second KV dealer – they’ve one model listed on their website!
LF, UJ, and Gronefeld all produce more watches than L&H does, and maybe that’s been Marco’s failing – he was happy with who came to him rather than going to dealers to try to get his brand picked up.
I know he talked a good game of wanting to increase output to 100 pieces annually, but never did it. Perhaps what Jens will do, as well as find more dealers, if they feel they need them.
It could well be that the vast bulk of their sales are direct to clients, who want certain elements customised.
