I really appreciated to read you my dear Abel.
I love your sentence saying that a watch must "talk" to you. I'm fully agree with you on that specific point. For me, a watch must help your heart beating faster when you see it and you'll know if it is made for you.
I discovered several additional things about you and, more particularly, your love for antique firearms and knives. I'm truly impressed. They're so beautiful.
I know that we never met each other but I really hope I'll meet you one day as you're a true gentleman and a true watch lover.
Best wishes

This is really an excellent interview
I often feel we see just a small slice of each person when we know them through job, or church, or school or web. Even here, where we are able to share cars, food, wine, cameras, WATCHES we rarely get the whole picture. These interviews greatly extend our...
