Next year it is 200 years ago Georges Frederic Roskopf was Born. For his celebration i am (trying) making a pfotobook from his watches. Because there are so many different pieces and models i need the help of everybody in the world.

Peter DragoThank you Debbie.
Hello Johnny,
I am sorry to hear of Albin passing. When I dealt with him about his book, he struck me as a very nice fellow, he even wrote a personal dedication in it. I found this book very well researched and written, an authoritative work on Roskopf's watches.
My compliments for your watches, very nice examples. I just have a couple of them that I got at the beginning of my collecting when the direction was not yet clear (American pockets). Not much worth publishing, here is a quick picture for you to judge.
Regards,
Peter
