No new additions, for me, this year, for the first time in... 18 years! But that doesn't mean it has been a bad year. First of all, we had some stunning gatherings and trips, like the one I had in Singakong. Or the meetings I had with some of you, in Pari...
WOW ! Impressive service year ! I could not agree more with you as for the imperative necessity of regular service of our beauties in spite of the high cost. And thus also on the wise advice for a drastic concentration of the collection on few but very ch...

... not adding a new piece during 2014, as you say, first time in 18 years! You are showing us the escence of what a true collector is: though we usually find great pleasure and excitement in every new addttion to our collection, we should discover that t...
To reinforce the weak points, to hunt parts, to maintain my watches. Then, no time nor means for new additions. Now I have a clear idea of what I have to do, the way to go. That is why I say that it is not a bad year at all. Moreover, I didn't find anythi...
