It's disturbing...
when a company's products are readily available from third parties but not from the company itself....even more disturbing that someone with a wristwatch repeater and a couple of museum-quality pocket watches was only deemed worthy to buy an Annual Calendar....

Fantastic post, SJX
A lot of us will recognize themself, not reffering to the watches owned by this great Collector, but for the thoughts... A story behind each watch, soem experiences with Patek, etc... I also love when this Collector says that watches are made to be worn.....

superb interview, but its a shame Anon feels the need to keep his identity

Hi SJX, Thanks for bringing us the "real life experince"of a collector. Its enjoying reading through the interview and admiring all his life time experince which he came through,its simply fantastic. BHK9
I like this...
a very refreshing change - interviewing a collector. Thanks for this SJX! An excellent interview ! Cheers

I forgot to ask if the Campanolas or the Shellman minute repeater..

They sound the same
from what I recall. I have heard them individually, not side by side, but they all have a distinctly digital sound. - SJX
