It makes me smile every time I see pics of Vianney or his watches, it brings back great memories in my mind…
...your pics are not crappy at all ! On the contrary they give quite a good idea of how Vianney's watches look on the wrist: so original, interesting from the horological point of view, and aesthetically wonderful. If you add to that the fact that Vianney is a genius but also a real gentleman who is enjoying life but very serious in his job, that mix makes a fantastic person. I am not surprised you enjoyed your time very much with him, it is the same with me everytime I have a chance to see him.
