Raúl Pagès was the restorer at Parmigiani whom worked on the original Breguet Symphatique clock, he also worked on numerous restoration projects on automatons. Not long ago, he started his own workshop, continuing restoration projects for museums and private collectors. He also created his own automaton; the mechanical tortoise (will show this later). This year (2016), he released his first wrist watch – . The watch features a robust vintage 1950’s Cyma 586k caliber. All the bridges and balance have Raúl’s personal touch.
