I feel there're consistency and strong sense what u wanna owned
Not at all, contrary to all the same three hands (except JLC) watches, i believed your theme & journey is to own all your own defined trinity. Among your collection, i feel strongly for your VC Patrimony, subtle yet majestic. And your GS hold itself very well.
A foolish consistency?
I consider myself a newcomer in watch collecting, having only been at this hobby for the past 3 years. Much like Kolosstt's journey , my initial steps were somewhat meandering - intermittent missteps, occasionally on the right path, but always learning, a...
A gorgeous collection and a great picture!
I love the way you built it. Similar trends... but so different watches! Fx
Great collection!
The Vacheron is for me the finest one. If the Patek didn't have the date, I would have ranked it first. The Lange is a sure value, and the JLC is the smart one. Excellent taste, my friend. What's next? ;) Best, Nicolas
He who knows and knows why he knows
NT931 Congratulations! Your realisation this weekend of the consistency is the beginning of the next phase of delectation. The 'purest' watch there is the Grand Seiko followed closely by the A.Lange & Söhne. Live Long and Prosper, MTF
lovely collection...
my personal favuorites are the 1815 (naturally I am biased) and the calatrava...
A great post Bro!
Thanks for sharing! Our Singapore PuristS group is proud to be part of your collecting journey as we discussed during our GTGs and whatsapp chat group Love your new photos with the light tent and iPhone 6. I love all your watches in your pics with a sligh...
the choice is clear
your collection is rather consistent in terms of color, function and brand (variety). Glad to see your tasteful choice of selection. Hope you are enjoying the journey too. Enjoy them in good health! Cheers !
Of course your wife hit the nail!
Hi NT931, as often we have to confess our wives are usually right even if we do not readily admit it. At the same time your son is also right in discovering the differences between your 5 watches. They are different, but of the same kind - both are right ...
Fantastic collection, and great to see all these together. Nice visual reference!
For me, it's Patek number one, even with the date window, and Lange close number two. GS looks very clean, and as Nico said the JLC is the smart choice! Congrats!
Your excellent photo reminds me of a similar, but more meager
effort that I made about 10 years ago. I ended up swapping the Gerber for cash that I poured into a gaggle of three-handed, white-dialed Grand Seikos (somehow missed the PP and VC boat). Don't worry - if you are meant to branch out into complications and ...
Nothing foolish at all in your consistency....
or your collection. A definite theme, but plenty of variation within the theme. 5 winners. Darren
Very nice display.....
of fine watches indeed. The Vacheron Constantin is my favourite. I understand that you're not into chronographs, however, what about the "Historique Chronographe" from VC? It is 37mm and in platinum would, in my opinion, be a fantastic complement to your ...
Emerson did qualify that with "adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines"
.....he didn't mention watch collectors :)- fantastic compact collection that reflects personal values and traits...as a proper collection should do. enjoy your hobby, what does Emerson know. Best, Horo
Your collections shows that you had a particular style that you liked
The fact that you listened to the advise and guidance you did not stray and kept true to what you like as is clearly show in your picture. That will make a collector smile as you stayed true to yourself and did not fall in the traps of fashion, popularity...
Thank you everyone!
... for your many kind comments and suggestions, and for reassuring me that I'm not obsessively mad :) It's fascinating for me how each of you has a different favourite among the five watches, and for very different reasons! Personally, my favourite is th...
If this consistency is foolish....
.... Then I wish we have more fools in this world. Thanks for sharing your collection of utterly breath-taking pieces. Horological purity personified!
Not foolish at all.
Each watch has its own traits. Each is very different. All are substantial pieces that, I would think, anyone here would be happy to have. Three-hand watches are the backbone of many collections, and are the essence of watch-making and watch-collecting. C...
Three years putting the bar high for me. ;)
Very nice shot you made there NT931, In this ensemble it is the VC for me. Beautiful hands and outstanding dial. In fact, your son has the right spirit. It is very different and this because of far more than the different strap colours. So nothing foolish...
To each their own and all that
Looking at your collection, each watch very stands on its own merits. They're really, at least when viewed from a watch nerd's perspective, substantially different from one another, notwithstanding that they all have a white face and similar case size. Yo...

Hi NT931, they are only the same in terms of...
being round dials but everything else is very different ! Great collection ! Gordon
Awesome classicism and purity
The Lange, Seiko and Vacheron get my vote. I would be very happy with anyone of them. The Patek and the Jaeger are a hair too busy for me. A fantastic single-theme collection.
consistency
You have a curator's eye for watch collecting and I agree with everyone here that this white on white themed collection is spectacular. I would be interested to know if you made any mistakes in your three year watch collecting journey? Any breguet marine ...
Watch "skeletons in the closet"? Definitely!
Thank you Edward for your kind comments. Oh yes, there definitely were others I bought in the 3 year journey which I later realized were not quite me. My preferences evolved over time (and I'm sure will evolve further), so I've sold some others which just...
Hey NT, That's A Superb...
.... Quiver of timepieces. Love the consistent theme of that excellent photo. For me, the Lange & Sohne is a show stopper. What a beauty. Thanks for sharing, - Scott
