Just some of the highlights of 2019 (both incoming and outgoing pieces).
What a crazy fun year 2019 has been on the horology front! Have been fortunate to handle and own pieces from some of the most incredibly talented independent watchmakers! I am very humbled by their talent and dedication. I really feel like my collecting h...
That is a wonderful lineup for the year! You are certainly flirting with the virtues of classic horology.
I love how you have found “your thing”. That is very rewarding and takes a lot of work (trial and errors + study + travel) Something we should all strive for in our own way, although it is probably also a moving target. I just learned about Laine. I need ...
Just saw a few Laines in the metal a week ago . . .
. . . and impressed by their finishing. They may well be a highlight of your New Year, Christian. ;-)
A reliable secondary indicator of finish quality . . .
. . . can be gleaned by Tim Jackson's portfolio. If he's representing a manufacturer, you can bet the house it's quality. ...
Very true!
I got to meet Tim in person this year in London! Great guy with encyclopaedic knowledge of the indies.
I thought Tim was originally from South Africa . . .
. . . but you may well be right, Bounce. Art
Zimbabwe? Or, as I'm still bound to say, . . .
. . . Rhodesia? Force of habit, Rhodesia ;-) . . .
Just browsing his website and IG
This seems very catchy. Does anyone know what price range we are in? The one with the big moon is probably my favorite so far. Still lots to discover. I will have to brush up my Finnish 🇫🇮
Thanks, Nico!
I’ve learnt a lot from you this year (as I do EVERY YEAR!) Happy New Year!
Those are some pretty fine highlights.
Let’s put you on the spot a little; if you had to pick one highlight what would it be?
Ohh that’s tough.
Probably Pascal Coyon - but that’s just this minute. If you ask me in a few minutes - I would probably change my mind. These are all gorgeous
What a great collection!
A perfect showcase of the amazing pieces that can be found when one is willing to go a bit "off the map" to look for them!
Thank you, jleno!
Yes - no Daytona or nautilus here 😀 Actually, I haven’t owned a Rolex Or a Patek yet 😀
What a mesmerizing collection...
I say it again: I love it when someone knows what he wants, has his own taste and and acts/collects beside the well-trodden paths. Aesthetic and technology at its best! Many congrats Thomas
Impressive lineup 👍👌👌 What a year !
It must be difficult to choose one only every day!
Thanks, Mike!
Yes can be! 😀 I do feel blessed and spoilt for choice indeed. Happy new year
The same to you my friend, a few hours ahead of the timing I also wish you a terrific 2020
May this new year spoil you again same as 2019 😉🤣
