The Story of a collection is something always very interesting, as it describes all the situations you were in, and the processus
in which you elaborate it.
I try to build my collection step by step.
I was lucky enough to sell a lot of Panerai from my collection, and to fund other watches, as I always was interested by ALL the brands.
I sold too some Rolex.
Then I decided to balance my collection, picking some very nice watches.
Some I already owned, like the U.N Sonata or The Freak ,others I hunted, like some very fine JLC timepieces, or the Lange Dato, or, again, some Pateks..
I made some mistakes selling some pieces, like the VC Chrono Malte in White Gold.
So, 2007 was a very good year with some stunning and beautiful added.
2008 will be more difficult, as I hunt 2 VC, the Toledo Platinum and the Chrono Malte Platinum too.
I'd like to add a Langematik Anniversary to my Datograph, too.
And some fine JLC pieces, like the Duo Metre.
But the more pieces you have, the more difficult is to add one, because of the coherence of the collection.
I don't want to add just for add, but only if it brings something more to my collection that I miss or missed.
And 1st of all,if the new piece speaks loudly to me.
Best.
