You are absolutely right. I don't think it would have been the same had I purchased the set all at once. There was so much emotion that followed after my first purchase which I recall so vividly. The piece I bought first was actually the Ruthenium Chronograph. I had it only for a short time because it had to be sent back to have a small problem corrected. During the time with out it I became obsessed with the Resonance and began to hunt the globe for it. After calling virtually every AD around the globe I finally located one at the FP Journe boutique in Tokyo. At the time they also had the Remontoir and there began the slippery slope! With that said the entire set in the special display box is impressive!

Thanks Sam! Remember the day I need to raise cash to buy that GS I'll be thinking of you for my Observatoire.
Congrats mate...
It was nice to see the Ruthenium duo yesterday. Alright, it was nice to see you too! Now tell us, what business do the resonance and tourbillon have with the winder again?
Congrats Brad. Your collection is magnificent...
Between your pics and Jester's not-so-gentle prodding of me I sense an FPJ will be coming my way very soon....even dragged wifey to the Tokyo Boutique last month when we were there.... Congrats again!
Wonderful Collection, Brad
My suspicion is that the G&PS shall find a way into your collection soon. The ruthenium pieces are especially striking, but you did not include the ruthenium Tokyo piece. Congrats and be well. Douglas
Thanks Douglas! I do hope you are right about the G&PS!
I decided to leave out the Tokyo's 2nd Anniversary piece because I didn't want its beautiful color combination to steal the show It wasn't until I put the entire Ruthenium Set together for the photo that I noticed how the blue color indicator disc of the ...
Congratulations Brad !
What a lovely collection! Especially the evolution, the building up of your collection, is lovely. Congrats on the new addition! Actually it doesn't surprise me at all, since it comes from you. I have no doubt the GS will join this magnificent colletion s...
Brad, does the Tonneau tourbillon have anything to do with Vincent calabrese?
it uses the same display system that the NHC Ottica's and other Calabrese watches use, but with the added beauty of a Tourbillon in the middle. Graham
