That's interesting. I've never heard of anyone working for more than one company before. Enlightening.

Peter Nelson worked with Otto Weiss at Purdeys.
Weiss left and joined with his friend Hartmann in Hamburg, to then later form H&W in 1965, Mr.Nelson joined them a few yrs later in 1971.
Weiss and Hartmann both worked for time at Vandrey & Co. Hamburg, around the early 1960s.

With more skilled employees H&W could easily produce more output, since the demand is there,
But they choose to maintain a very high standard, hence production is limited by the limited availability of people
with the necessary high level skills & dedication to achieve such work. -They won't compromise quality for quantity.

Reminds me of my wife's favorite word Coutere (or something like that).

Basically it's just a self important way of saying custom. It also makes me puke.
