Interesting. I know he has supplied cases to many manufacturers. I think some (most) of Rainer Nienaber's cases may have come from him? Not sure...

Archimede is owned by Ickler which is another German case maker.
I know Mühle Glashütte used Fricker cases.

That would be Ickler - they’re the same company.

All the "big" sellers. Your regulator case would have come from Fricker. Your Art Deco case was made by Rainer.

Yes, you are right - mixed the companies. Sorry.

Whoa, that's big news. Weren't they also the suppliers companies like Kobold and Dievas?
