So true Oliver! Perhaps I should concentrate more on watches. It is just that over the last years, a lot of the magic has gone due to the lack of a relation between quality and feel and the associated pricing. Don't know, but it is somehow disapointing to see that everything can be done by everybody, marketing taking an ever bigger portion of the budget (even for smaller brands), too many novelties each year (that even are not yet working), .... It just doesn't feel right anymore. Or I'm getting old ;-)
Cheers my friend,

Little Greubel Forsey Dble balancier 35 pictures
Hi everyone, With the Parisian salon that stood at the end of November, I could see most of their beauties but especially try the new 6 pieces LE, Double Balancier 35 . It's a stunning piece. One of their watch that suits best to my wrist. First, let me ...
"What was the point?"
Mark, I had the same thoughts like you - double ... quadruple tourbillon ... . But then I was asked to handle some pieces, to examine them with a good loupe, to try them on my wrist and on top I got a personal introduction by Stephen Forsey - lot´s of bac...
"Certainly" one day...
Hey Oliver, The only one who comes and visit my AHCI posts :p I didn't have the chance to talk with him but viewed some YouTube videos from him and it seems to be a very clear and patient man. Holding some of their timepieces is trully a great moment and ...
Let me be the second
to thank you for this post! I've seen the watches but never had them on my wrist. Well what to say, I think they are wonderfull. I'm with you concerning your analysis. But realistically, I never will own one due to the pricepoint (and other hobbies ;-)) T...

Yes we are some to be amazed by what they do. Even ifcan't afford them! (boats are quite a budget ;) ) Thanks for chiming in ;) Cheers, Mark

With the knowledge you/we have ...
it gets more difficult, yes. To find the THE (next) one that feels just right/perfect is maybe more challenging today, I agree. Still it is possible after doing some homework and that is a huge part of the fun, isn´t it? Also we learn a lot about us, whil...
"name starts with R"
I know what you have in mind, but it is not me who owns the boat. It starts with an "O" and ends with an "i". Most famous sailors started like this ... :-) At the moment he is training a lot, even in winter four hours each Saturday.
Homework.
I really find myself in what you just said. Trying to learn more and more about watches and the watch industry make us be more and more hard to please, at least more demanding. We try to navigate among the marketing or technical stuff but, as you said aga...
This watch is a MUST buy.
It is very beautiful. I can only say...look at the vertical winch tourbillon from Cabestan as well. Or..buy both. These are GIANTS of watch making to me.
