to consolidate my collection and raise the quality and joy. My Moser Purity Perpetual in WG with black/dark blue fume dial. 42 mm. Perfect fit due to the curved shape of the case and the lugs. 7 days PR and a very reduced appearance. What a watch!! 3 watc...  

This Moser is a great and beautiful watch . I wish i could consolidate my collection . Will do so in the future but can’t part from them yet

After all we have bought/acquired these pieces some time ago for good reasons. What helps me: when I don‘t wear a watch for many months. And when I put it on just because of bad conscience I don‘t feel real joy and often miss another watch. That - for me ... 

My policy is the same for a watch , when i strap it on the wrist and look at the watch and it doesn’t bring a smile on my face anymore then its time to let it go . But for now i have a lot of ,,grail,, watches in my collection who all bring a huge smile o... 

perhaps you shouldn’t consolidate? How large is your collection of „grail watches“ if I may ask?

Still like them all . There are maybe a few i can let go but then again i know i will replace them for others that are on my wishlist 😬 i know , i am a watch addict 😫

.... yes, that’s what we are... My collection now is much smaller than 40. I have it reduced to 12 watches now. Best Thomas

That is stealth ‘substance’ on your wrist

Indeed, it also wears substantially. Best Thomas

I have to confess, that the 3 watches partly fund the new acquisition. I still had to pay a relevant amount... Best Thomas

full personal satisfaction is reached, where you don‘t want anything more and are happy with what you have. I feel this point comes closer and closer. Best Thomas

I have made quite a lot of research work. In my humble opinion this is one of the best PCs out there. Thank you ☺️ Best Thomas

🔨 🔨 🔨 😁 Best Thomas

that quite a lot customers didn’t want to buy it in this price category. The reason: you don‘t see at a glance that it has its price and therefore it is too much under the radar. I love that! Best Thomas

I bought a Moser Henry approximately 5 years ago. At this time I loved the complication (double hairspring) and design of this model but was worried if this independent watchmaker was able to produce robust, reliable watches. Indeed I had some small issue... 

Best Thomas ...  

For me the most desirable perpetual calendar on the market!

And yes, I feel the same. 😊 Best Thomas

this is to a large extent your merit!! I am so thankful for your hint where to find a brandnew, completely unworn Moser Perpetual Purity for an acceptable price. Just 50 pieces have been made. Worldwide. I also was aible to sell some of my watches to part... 

And count on it that we will meet one day in Vienna. All the best my friend and enjoy the 29th in a few days.

it would be a great pleasure to welcome you in Vienna! Best Thomas

There was a time when I was accumulating (too) many watches without appreciating enough each of them. I was acquiring and selling too many too fast without enough thinking about where I want to go. And (very) slowly I became wiser and decided that less is... 

Very wise words, dear Mike! I would be very interested which are your grail watches? Yes, this Moser is really fascinating.... You know Edouard Meylan personally? I think he makes a great job! All the best for you and thank you very much for your kind wor... 

I’ve slowly been undergoing a similar process with a few hobbies. Very beautiful PC. Congrats!

That means this attitude is your life philosophy? Best Thomas

And often unsuccessfully . But at least I’m aware of what I want... to unclutter my surroundings and my mind to focus on what is important.

Wonderfully said!

I wish I could be as consistent as you... Well done!

It is not so difficult to be consistent if you recognize that the reward to wear a few watches you REALLY LOVE is much higher than to have a huge collection of luke warm pieces. Best Thomas
