Incredibly personal interview

I'm really stunned at how open and frank Mr. Buttet was in this interview, about his past and his aims. To have a child at 14! What enormous pressure.

I always knew there was a class of "watchmakers" that were the all encompassing "conceptuer" I had imagined. The people who actually create the
engineering, concept, and working models of new watches, especially complications. I thought that with all the classical complications floating around
now someone, somewhere had to be well informed and teaching others how minute repeaters and such are designed as a skill. Someone had to
teach these arcane dark arts of horology. What classes and background must you fulfill to do that career path, specifically?

I see now I was right. Facinating job he has, my dream job! I'd like to know how many years it takes to learn minute repeater design and engineering.

I would kill to have the Antikythera model, it's totally against my wearing principals, but completely in line with my respect for sheer engineering. Especially
esoterica in math and astronomy. Brilliant design he created, something truly beautiful. The very fact that designer engineers like Mr. Buttet exist brings a
smile to my face.
