in your watch collecting hobby? Feeling guilty about your latest acquistion when there are still a couple of relatively new ones in your possession that you have hardly touched? Don't worry:

That's right!
He truly loves Lange (and several higher end Pateks). But he is also proud that they are all in the "rotation" and he wears every one of them. For him (just over 3 year old watch collector!), watches have been the communication tool. Like me, via this hob...

Each collector builds his own collection with his own pace, own feelings, own taste... the most important point is to feel happy at the end ! I've nver been guilty with my purchases, believe me ! Fr.Xavier
