Great read
Thank you for your frank and honest composition, allowing us to get to know you better. I like the way you approach collecting, and fully identify with your views of the industry today and the endless limited editions.
Always a pleasure to “know” a fellow Purist that much better.
POTM – 2018 – April – watch-guy.com

Fascinating insight. I do like the Patek cut out Art. If I may ask where did you get this. It’s stunning. Totally agree on your comments regards the collecting community
Patek

Zimbabwe

Love the vintage focus and the honesty and humility!
And I particularly love the "play nice" quote! Great interview.
Very interesting. Thanks, Damjan and Julian to allow us to better know Julian.
Julian, needless to say that we agree on many points. Reducing the collection by 50% is something which crosses my mind, to allow me to fund some heavy grails. Interesting to read your take on the watch collecting phenomenon, too, and on your tastes. A ma...
It was a real pleasure learning more about you, watch-guy!
Damjan‘s POTM series is definitely one of the highlights of HoMe for me, as it is really great learning about fellow Purists, not all of whom one has had the pleasure of meeting yet And with so many fora, one does miss the odd detail, especially since mos...
Excellent
Such a compelling interview. Lots of wisdom here! These interviews are a great idea and fascinating to read. Read adds a ‘third dimension’ to this community.
Nice to learn more about you Julian
and thanks Damjan for continuing this series. I agree with much of what you’ve written Julian — we share common thoughts on many topics in this fun watch hobby.
Part 12 is the best for me.
I frequently marvel at many replies I read on this website and other similar ones. Thanks for sharing yourself here!
At least a few similarities between us, Julian . . .
. . . although we part company when it comes to fitness. The tale of Dad's four IWC's resonates deeply, as there was a trio of Longines in my father's family, of which I have the last remaining example, the other two being stolen. "Do not underestimate th...
Interesting read...
Watch-guy has a very sensate collecting approach. I wish I could follow his way. Congratulations to both guys. Cheers, Nilo

Nice to connect some dots ...
Thanks for sharing these details! I too was on that trip to Switzerland in 2005 before I was a Purist (and we are on another of Nick’s horological trips right now). Cheers, Cazalea / Mike
Hi mike Yes that trip was mind blowing for me
I am sure I have some pics of you Glad that nic is still doing those tours I often wondered - as I do about where everyone on that tour Julian
Love the POTM series and thanks to "watch-guy"
for sharing his story with us. Great interesting read and I can go d'accord with what was said. CC
Thank you for sharing with us, watch-guy!
A great pleasure to read you! And thank you, Damjan for keeping this series of posts coming! Best Blomman
89 KM Marathon??? Goodness!
Wow, just wow. Nice to get to know you a bit better. Do you and your wife ever visit San Francisco? Please let me know when you do!
I asked few dealers about my Cellini Prince WG 3441/9 recently...
and one offered me $1000?!?! I’m not sure to laugh or cry or both....damn. Anyway, good knowing you and your perspectives. I’m also thinking to reduce and consolidate those not that popular ones into few nice ones like PP or Lange but not to that level of...
An oldie but goodie
Thanks for the memories of a PuristS member from the old days. Especially one from ThePuristS . com era; what a blast from the past! It's like reading parts of the same journey in Time that we all went through but in different locations. Much appreciation...
This is one of my favourite columns here.
Having met this POTM in person, I can certainly attest - A true gentleman! HAGWE to all
Hello Julian! How nice to read your POTM interview and get to know more about you!...
... I absolutely share with you what you say at the final "Life Philosophy" part of your post. Though I always thought the same, Life has confirmed me recently how true it is that Health, Family and Friends are Paramount and how much we should value and a...
A really good read!
Really down to earth and honest interview. My favourite kind of interviews really! And lovely collection for sure
