Great Collection
Dear Boccanegra, greetings from Caracas, the arguments by which you have achieved your amazing watch collection are impeccable and logical in extent. It demands a strong will not to keep meandering away from clear focus when buying watches as many "opportunities" and temptations arise yoften. I was wondering what has kept you away from Rolex as you dont any yet in your possesion, are you planning to get one?
Thanks in advance for your kind response. Rafael
All together for the first time
I'm not sure why, but my watches and I have never all been in the same place at the same time before and, for various reasons, they are today. I thought I should mark the occasion, before winding everything up and setting the calendars, by taking a pictur...
Fantastic collection
with some true heavy hitters but your UN is winner in my book Sincerely D
Impressive level of collection. The Astrolabium, the 5110P, the Extreme Lab II...
The JLC Geographique sing very loud to me... Impressed. Bravo. Nicolas
Magnificent evolution for a collection
Wonderful pieces and stories behind the acquisitions. I\'m curios that there is no Breguet or Vacheron? Surely there can temp you with something Thanks for sharing
Tempt, yes, but buy, no
A fair challenge. For Vacheron, I'd have taken the Les Historiques chrono (in platinum with salmon dial) over the Blancpain, but at the time I couldn't afford it. And a vacheron minute repeater (especially the skeleton in rose gold) would be lovely, but i...
Really nice collection. I love both your PP and UN but if I could choose only one it would be your... Haldimann. This watch is just stunning!!!
Thank you for all these pics and explanations. Best wishes Alkiro
Terrific story.
i love the way you have assembled your collection. Good luck in adding to it.
That is one superb collection, covered all bases for any occasion...
Thanks for sharing the stories. The central tourbillon H1 and the UN are Grail pieces for many, congrats for having both. Rgds Raymond
Fantastic post!
Really love your particular Reverso! Owning a Minute Repeater in a pocket watch has always made the most sense to me when you consider how relatively affordable they are in this form, and how the generous size allows for a more pronounced sound. Please le...
Love the diversity!
Really appreciate how each and every one has reason for being there. Thanks for sharing! J
I'm speechless
It's rare to read such a presentation, but most of all to meet a genuine collector. Starting from your Sinclair Harding (a clock i've never seen before), it's clear you knew what you bought. Some underrated pieces like the Villeret chrono or the AP perpet...
Here is a sound file of the G&P Sonnerie
Here is what the sonnerie sounds like - amazing to think it's over 120 years old... Turler G&PS chime
Great collection
I really appreciated the show. The H1 is a phenomenal piece. Do you have some other pictures showing the variation in the way the dial looks that you mention? And great Astrolabium. Best Andreas
H1 in different light conditions
Hi, I'm afraid my phone camera isn't up to much so the differences may be hard to see. However, the H1 dark dial takes on the light that you throw at it. So in normal light conditions it looks like this, with a greyish tinge: In relatively dark light, it ...
Congratulations on the reunion of your beautiful collection.
The H1 is simply out out this world. Free servicing for the rest of your/ Haldimann`s life too

Love it - what a super collection with lots of diversity. Wear them all in good health
Killer Collection...
... The Ulysse Nardin Astrolabium is truly remarkable. Cheers! - Scott
Nice set of watches and a very thought-out approach for collecting them.
What brands/complications do you want to add in the future? As far as I see F.P. Journe Sonnerie fits in perfectly. Also your acquisition of the Extreme Lab 2 shows that you are very deep into watches and that is truly amazing. Thanks for sharing your wat...
