K, thanks for the great lunch and the wonderful day!
It was fantastic to be able to wander round, at a relaxed pace, looking at watches. Normally, with my wife and daughter tagging along, I am “encouraged” not to spend too long looking at watches!
It would be good to catch up again the next time you are over.
Safe travels,
Jon
Final European get-together - KMII/Jon in London
We had a great lunch at Nandos (one of my favs) - discussed law, AI, and my love of Peri Peri chicken. But man, I didn’t expect to see some of his killer pieces like the limited edition VC overseas, a calendar Patek (perpetual? Sorry I don’t know these mo...
Thanks for the post K-Lo!
I've really grown to like that in-line PC Patek. I wouldn't mind owning it some day. Like you, I also find the Tudor very appealing. Thanks again. M4
Thansk for sharing these photos of this great moment.
And safe travels home! Best, Emmanuel
Very nice series of wrist shots.
That VC chrono was a limited edition? I’m curious to look that one up. Thanks.
It was a 2018 limited edition of 38 for the VC Zurich boutique at 38 Bahnhof Strasse.
There’s a time and date version as well.
Careful with that IWC
I too succumbed to temptation on that model... going into autumn back in '03 and still wear it, just a few months shy of 23 years later. ...
Mike, you and your many great pictures of this watch were certainly an “inspiration” for the purchase!
It’s one of my most accurate watches, seemingly varying less than a second a day. Impressive for a 25 year old watch with a Valjoux 7750 base (albeit recently serviced in Schaffhausen). All the best, Jon
I could say the same of my older Panerai and others 7750s, that keep excellent accuracy, even after 20 years without a service…
I cannot say that of several so called Manufacturing Calibers of various brands…

Ditto! Glad we got to some some hardcore pieces together. A little jet-lagged and behind on work, and other things but doing great!
That Zeitwerk we saw in the window was so calling me! Oh well, maybe next time we go window shopping I'll actually buy something...
Excellent stuff Kyle.
It's endearing and inspiring to witness the hospitality of our European people 👏😊👍. As far as the watches go, that's as varied of a selection as I've ever seen. The LE Overseas looks particularly good, I've frankly forgotten Jon has that piece, he's not k...
I feel like I’ve let you down😀
I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t have a collection, just an accumulation of different watches. But I’ve also concluded that I’m happiest with a real mixture of watches, and in particular a mixture of materials. That mixture seems to stop me gettin...
That makes perfect sense to me!
I likewise never considered myself a collector of anything. I simply bought what I was genuinely interested in using. Cheers, Filip
They literally sent me an e-mail this morning saying....
That after weeks of observation by the entire team, they decided to change out the movement entirely for a new one. Frankly, it's the only logical decision they could have made given the amount of time elapsed, and I am thankful that will ultimately be th...
