Brodbeck Engine Turners

Presentation of an artisanal and operational engine-turner's workshop. The use of a geometric lathe, or rose machine, has become an artform restricted almost exclusively to the most prestigious timepieces. This art performed on lathes dating back to the late 18th and early 20th centuries.
