Watchmaker profile

Peter Schmid

Peter Schmid is an AHCI-recorded independent horologist; Marc Jenni's Basel 1994 notebook also identifies him among participating members. 2

AHCI identity is corroborated by Marc Jenni's fair notebook. A forum lead names Musée international d'horlogerie, La Chaux-de-Fonds, for a purported 1994 skeleton regulator acquired in 1995, but no accession/catalogue record was established. Not the Atelier Zobel jeweller or Hansueli Schmid.
