A watch & a painting
Since this is my 20k post, I wanted to make it a little special . So here is my Cornes de Vache with an encaustic painting by a dear friend . She is an illustrator and painter . The painting is inspired by Rembrandt 's Portrait of Hendrickje Stoffels , hi...
Beautiful composition👌
The watch goes with that painting perfectly. 2 beautiful works of art😊! I missed it until I read the AHP’s post, congratulations on 20,000 posts 👏🎉🥳
I’m glad you like the composition!
And thanks a lot for your kind congrats. Best, Emmanuel
So lovely 🙏😊

Thank you so much, Filip!
Much appreciated. It’s a pleasure to be here with you, who brings a lot to the community ! Cheers, Emmanuel 🌸
What a lovely machine!
And in gold too! I seem to see more steel CdV chronographs than gold ones. Nice to see a worn example too!
The RG version was quite significantly
more expensive than the Steel, and the Pt even more so. It might be an explanation. RG was the right metal for me: I wanted the warm vintage charm. And I definitely wear it! Cheers.
Very true!
Yes. The RG was definitely much costlier. You seem to have a strong preference for RG watches in general - as you have quite a few of them! I like all the metals. I don't always like white gold though - the Patek Philippe white gold watches I have sometim...
It would be great indeed if they
dropped the price of platinum a bit, but is it likely to happen? I have doubts. My taste for rose gold is part of a taste for warm tones: I often find white metals cold. But there’s no absolute rule: platinum was the right metal for my 5098. And if I ever...
I agree. Sometimes the white metals can appear cold.
I do like the richness and luster of rose and yellow gold. Although most of my watches are white gold or steel. Looks like I need to add more colored gold watches! More excuses to spend money!
Thank YOU 🙏!

You really have no reason to apologise, Art!
I made this 20,000th post only a few hours ago and I just wanted to give it a little something special with this small painting. Have a great weekend. Best, Emmanuel

Bi-compax dress chronographs are a weakness of mine. This Cornes de Vache is one of the most beautiful with an exquisite movement. Congratulations on the 20k milestone!!
