It took me two good weeks to be able to write these words and to share the sad news with you.

Our dear Christian passed away. A bit more than one year after our friend Rudi, and these two were very good and close friends.

We will miss him, a lot, as well as Rudi.

He was a great collector, but an even greater friend.

Here is a part of his unbelievable Lange Collection:

We will never forget you, Christian.

To you, Christian, my friend. To you!

I remember both Christian and Rudi, and certainly cannot forget Rudi's unbelievable collection of Pateks... Very, very sad news. Just to add, and a general query whether a separate section could be added in the site to perhaps remember all those members that had left.. I know there are many.

Your post reminded me of many who were once active 10+ years ago, showcasing beautiful pieces/collections, and contributing so widely and thoughtfully. But over time I do always look back and wonderful when had they stopped posting.
