Wonderful photo, Andrew!

No wonder this guy is holding the watch in his hands like it's a new born.

For the first time in his life he sees and holds the JLC Memovox Parking with French case – twisted lugs much like late Speedmasters.

His own Memo Parking’s have the normal straight lugs (Swiss case) so this one is more refined and delicate.

So exited that his fingertips’ are moist and the heart rate has gone up a notch.

Another fine specimen of the from the 125 Jubilé collection!

Oh, what a happy moment, together with friends!

Thank you for sharing this pic, my friend!

Passion

You can tell by the way someone caresses an object how much they love it. No significant reason to post this image other than I love the passion it encapsulates: a watch on each wrist and another being lovingly held. Andrew There's no place like HoMe!...

That is a lovely photo! The delicacy of holding the watch shows how much the person appreciates the time piece in his hand! Another way of seeing passion is in the eyes and facial expression of a conversation... I see that when watching/listening to Max t...

I think we all know how this gentleman feels. I was wondering what watch he is looking at, but then I figured out it does not matter. Best, Respo

I can tell when someone holds a watch.. or as you put it caresses it. Regardless of what watch, the attention given to how it is held and looked at, the time the eyes linger over the dial, turning it over, look at the case back...at the movement (sometime...
