Horological Meandering

As I recently commented on in the AP forum, I saw a gentleman wearing a Carbon Concept at the AP Bal Harbour trunk show. I was wondering what's the most impressive watch all of you have seen "in the wild?"

Truly in the wild, the nicest I can recall was an Offshore Tourbillon Chrono sitting next to me at dinner one night.

. . . spotted on the wrist of a thirty-ish gentleman at an LA nightclub . . . cordially, Art

was worn by a friend.... cognac, friends, Paris...... what a great evening...... his watch on my wrist..... my favourite complication..... cheers ps. I am certain that he will post a better photo of his watch.... maybe with a tour in the background?...  

to use someone you met from here, though NOBODY can dispute the wildness of the owner of that wrist a...  

I'm sorry but I don't get your commend... would you care to elaborate? thanks

What I was meaning was that If you're having coffee with Nico, whom you know from thePurists, you know you're gonna see a nice watch. It isn't really "in the wild" A

although it could be described as a "wild" night.... cheers

Mr. Amanico is the calmest, least wild person I know. Or something A

the hairy wrist? does it qualify as wild? cheers

I've seen many great watches, but for the finest watch I ever saw at random in the wild, read this repost of something I wrote over two years ago: So I'm sitting at Starbucks in Framingham, Massachusetts, twenty miles west of Boston, with my 3-3/4 year ol...  

I love that turn of phrase, Bill. Do you mind if I use it? Some of us around here perhaps hang onto sanity by a thread, too! Nice story. I have nothing to match it but my only true 'in the wild' encounters have been a steel mid-1960's Omega Constellation ... 

One of the more interesting sightings I've experienced was seeing an Overseas Chronograph (older model) on a guy's wrist while at the post office, when I was wearing the identical watch too! Bill

I have never seen anything wild. One red submariner and possibly a simple PP calatrava .Perhaps I need to change my surroundings btu I have never come across a real collectors piece inthe wild. Where are they all hiding?? Julian

But this forum's owner flashed one of his "postal scale" beauties at a casual GTG a few months back. Pretty impressive.

Seating in front of me on flight from LAX to Toronto and yes it was in first class

but saw and touched urwerk cc1 during a watch event in Singapore and gasp when an esteemed moderator dropped it on a (luckily) chair. I thought I saw droplets of liquids running down his pants that nite . cen@jkt

on a vintage car rallye in Kitzbuehel, Austria (pic by Paul Boutros): The owner raced a Mercedes SSK, and took the Blancpain only of for racing - where he wore a Cartier Roadster! Best, Magnus...

... a guy I was seated next to at a work-related dinner. And I was wearing a Journe too!! For both of us the only time that happened "in the wild" Andreas

As I was flying back to London last year from Basel, the fellow sitting in the row in front was wearing a Daniels Millenium piece. As we exited the plane at Heathrow, I noticed it peeking out from under his cuff of the tweed jacket he was wearing. So I ma... 

But I am nearly certain it was a fake...because it was a 5002 and the wearer didn't know what it was called. I noticed the watch immediately and said, "Is that a Patek Philippe?" he replied "Yes! Good job!" And even though I knew what it was (or what it w... 

Does this count? It happened in the tiny old ABP store a few years ago. Given that it is a watch strap atelier, you would expect that visitors might own or wear some decent hardware. As we were discussing the finer points of electric orange toadskin strap...
