Thought This Might Be Of Some Interest

I saw this article and thought quite a few of you might be interested to read it. Hopefully in the future it will bring faster turn around times to those of you who send your PP in for work. Have a nice day everyone

Very interesting. It will take some time to get results but it beats doing nothing.

That's very interesting and I think we're all wishing we didn't have any responsibilities. I think it's great how they chose the candidates too based on interest and curiosity during the demonstrations. Hopefully some day they will be able to reduce the 8 month service time.

The HSWA performs a lot of servicing with a "small" number of watchmakers. This is good news for US Patek collectors for sure.

Good news for the brand and owners. Hopefully, service times will become more reasonable.

I was taking to an AD in Melbourne and he said that PP has trained 1 watchmaker to do repairs in Melbourne. He was hopeful that it should result in quick turnaround time for watch repairs.

Well done Patek! I may have to apply when I retire from my day job. Would be a dream come true for me.
