Horological Meandering

my wife asked "And what are you doing with that, in there?" "Taking a picture of my watches, so the other PuristS can use me as an example of someone more watch-obsessed than they are." "Ah, that's alright then" she sighed, and went back to her reading. I...  

And I have it baaaaad What a great idea. Put all your "stuff" in one picture. Then you can really see how bad things are Julian

I thought you said you were a COLLECTOR. This is currently Ony at "JUST GETTING INTO A NEW HOBBY" phase (phase -1 if you will). Get to it. There are still areas of visible microfibres between the watches. We want to see those watches packed TIGHT (like sa...

I imagine your wife's fears when she saw you threatening your common vital space with all these watches. Impressive collection you have. All the best, Mike. Nicolas

What is your top 10? S

I hope I don't find one of my watches on one.

Was your wife wondering if you were ready to get rid of all that stuff? Houses are the best magicians, they hide our things until we stop looking for them

I am at 13 watches now and there is a constant negotiation with the wife on the question if I'm mad or not. Needless to say, a picture like this puts that argument to rest for a while Amazing collection and categorization you have there.

I am at 21 pieces at present

Thank you! I am certainly going to show this pic to my wife when a watch related comment/sigh/rolling eyes comes my way.

madness but we are all mad anyway so I appreciate what you have a lot! Cheers Robin

You did well Mike I would go for Cheers D

... among them: I feel relieved to know I´m not alone in my madness / your shots can serve as an aliby to tell wifey: "you see honey, there are some guys who suffer a worst case of watch appetite than me!" / to prove that it is true that watches move and ... 

Hi Abel, The many vintage watches you post are very beautiful and I often want some of yours! So please keep collecting and posting too. Mike

... and enjoy it inmensely. Thank you again!! Have a nice week end! Abel.

But feel free to use these pictures as a defense with your spouse. Then look to your own collections! I collect (1) what pleases me and (2) what my friends do not collect. Why compete on RM or Uhrwerk when J has them covered? Why seek a U-N Trinity when t... 

... with your own collection approach. I wish you´ll keep enjoying and adding more speciments to your collection! Thank you so much for sharing both your watches and your feelings around this lovely madness of collecting! Hagwe! Abel.

I have taken preventative measures and degaussed my watch. Cheers, Mike ...

Congrats on amassing such a super collection. Just reading the story and seeing the pics makes me regret ever letting the countless watches I\'ve flipped head off to new owners. Currently sitting at what I thought was a healthy 6 you have given me the ins...
