Trivia: "Hmm, difficult. Watchmaking is my live. As a boy, I always wanted to be an inventor and a watchmaker. I wanted to create Robots and time machines. Now I create micromechanical Machines called "Watches". Today I am a creator of innovations in watchmaking. "Andreas Strehler" is not a "Brand", I am a Watchmaker."
