Horological Meandering

Yesterday my house was burgled. I had three beautiful watches stolen: Chopard Lunar 1 platinum s/n 161894 9001 180/250 Breguet Ladies Marine Omega Speedmaster Broad Arrow chrono, white dial I thought that I would alert my Purist friends and acquaintances ... 

Some watches, jewels are not only mere objects, they contain all the memories of the main event in our lives. I can imagine what you feel and I'm very sorry for your wife and you. Fr.Xavier

burglary is so much more awful than just the material loss. Really sorry to hear. Hope your pieces are recovered! Best, Andreas

Nothing can take the sting away but time. Try and walk around and look at all the things they did not take, it helped a bit for me but none the less that is a violation you cannot explain to anyone who did not experience themselves. Hang in there, it can ...

... as I suffered same sad experience a year ago. You well say, that suffering is not for value of things stolen, but for the sentimental value they have for us, the legal owners. Memories, nostalgia, remembrance of persons met, and places visited. Some o... 

Thanks to all of you for your helpful comments and sympathy. You see what I mean?......Nice people in comradly pursuit of their passion. Thanks again. Antony
