Toledo 1952
I am here in Las Vegas for the week, and I have never seen so many watches! Today I saw pieces from Greubal Forsey, an Opus 9, and a Breguet double tourbillon (hour hand attached to the tourbillons). For someone like me who has only viewed pieces like these on the internet it has been a tremendously fun experience. Today I bought a Toledo 1952 in rose gold. I wasn't planning on buying anything on this trip, but when I saw it I couldn't resist. It is a fantastic watch in my opinion. I am having it shipped home to avoid paying taxes. It should be arriving this Friday. On another note all those attending IGOTT are going to have a great time. This is a great place to hold the event, and I am jealous I cannot come back to attend. Looking forward to getting my hands on the new watch, and posting some pics. Cheers!!

The case and the moonphase are what did it for me. I think the contrast between the blue and the gold is fantastic. I am usually just interested in round cases, I do not like square or rectangular cases with sharp corners. This case is so unique (there ar...

Congratulations on the Toledo 1952. It is a beautiful watch, especially in rose gold (I've always loved the mix of the blue moon disk with the rose case). I look forward to seeing some photos when you finally have them. The "cioccolatone" case is iconic. ...
