. . . my darling."* Please watch this video clip of Charlie being interviewed about and then playing with . . . . . . a boogie woogie band he formed for performing music he loves with people he liked. (The bassist, Dave Green, is a childhood friend.) He d...

Drum intro par excellance . . . . . .

. . . would be drawn. And illustrates why I admired him so much. There were only two notables I wanted to meet in person as of Monday: Charlie and Efren Reyes. Sadly, down to one now. Art

Unbelievable. Rip Charlie . You were so good.

. . . by all accounts, even ex-bandmates. Charlie was loved by all. That's telling. ;-)

For this tribute to Charlie, I’m sure he would have appreciated it. I’ll be later with my own thoughts.

. . . a ref 14701-62, same year as the Stones formed. From now on I'm going to call it Charlie. ;-)

Drums... Legendary.... If we're going retro to remember to good ol' times........... ...  

. . . glad to know you, Steve! Art

Great to know you my friend, Am a percussionist and drummer, so more Bozzio, Bruford... though Krupa, Roach, Gadd, Peart, Baker, Moon, Porcaro, Copeland.... it's all good

I join the words of Tony about Charlie. Those words described him so well. Great video you shared which shows Charlie in a different angle of his musical vocation. Fantastic! Beautiful vintage Omega you choose. Awesome star dial! Here my watches for this ...  

Have a nice and relaxed weekend my dear friend! Abel

Abrazos y buen fin de semana amigo mio!! Abel

Good choice Abel !

… oldie from first year of the Stones! Hagwe! Abel

. . . in '62?" 1962 . . . what a year. Lawrence of Arabia released, the Rolling Stones formed, American Graffiti was set, and your exquisite Daytona made. Charlie was born in June 1941. Wearing an Omega ref MI 2214 today . . . . . . that was released on m...  

One I showed to my daughter... She loves that one: As for the watch... One from 1964: Thanks for everything, Charlie. It was a pleasure to spend all these years with you in my ears. Best, Nico ...  

Sad to say Charlie good bye! He surely made a great company to our ears all these years! Cheers! Abel

Absolutamente de acuerdo! Disfrutemos mucho de la parte maravillosa! 😉 Un fuerte abrazo!! Abel

. . . deserves an American serenade . . . . . . from the same year. And here's one for your daughter, Nicolas. There's a handful of their songs I've never heard played in the forty shows of my experience that I would literally p r ay to hear once; Child o... 

But I wanted to pay tribute to Charlie Watts. A gentleman, and a class act. Of all the watches I own, I think the one I'd associate with Charlie the most would be this Minerva. Unfussy, understated, classic. I could very well imagine him wearing something...  

. . . if not own, would be . . . . . . Tiffany. In fact, I can hear him wearing it now. If only more Stones concert clips were filmed from the same perspective. ...  

honoring Charlie Watts. He was the best. The Breitling is a new favorite, please enjoy and stay cool. Best, Timerider ...  

Lots of vintage vibes in their shapes and dials. Wonderful blue dial on your example. Have a nice and relaxed weekend! Best, Abel

and the pushers are Breitling crisp. Tim

. . . the 'best' or 'greatest', but in Charlie's case . . . . . . the accolade is apt. ;-)

Especially the drums in a rock band. But take it away, and you really feel the absence. Just like the bass I guess. My favourite Stones songs are Wild Horses and Angie, but Get Off My Cloud and Satisfaction have some great drumming by Charlie Watts. A few...  

Yes, calibre 89.

. . . featuring his tracks isolated from others. I hear you, Charlie . . . loud and clear. 🥁

… is definitely my favourite Rolling Stones song; I remember watching the « tour of duty » TV show which used it as theme in the late 80’s and how powerful this song was. Legends are eternal and Charlie Watts is a legend From the Rolling Stones Twitter ac...  

agree on your song

. . . Sister Morphine. Star Star had its turn . . . . . . at the top of the list. If I had a daughter, I'd name her Ruby Tuesday . . . . . . and call her by her initials. For the longest time now, though, my favorite is one of their simpler compositions. ...  

God bless you, Charlie......RIP. The world will miss you. ...  

. . . without Charlie. 😔

I never had the pleasure of seeing the Stones live. So my connection will probably not be as deep as yours, Art. I will gladly share some watches that I find might fit the theme, though 👍🏻 ...

Just curious

. . . and the last Pasadena, '19. Our final meeting Forward to 4'10" to catch Mick introducing Charlie to the crowd. I was hoarse from yelling his name.

. . . that there were two conditions under which they could expect me to be away from work: a family emergency, and a Stones show. The only real vacation I took while toiling in the insurance mines was three weeks in November '05. You guessed it: the Ston... 

. . . when they can't work for religious reasons, I couldn't either.

White Sox Stadium in Chicago, winter 2006-07. Quite a chill with strong winds. The Stones looked a little frail in the cold gusts of wind but delivered a superb performance. We thoroughly enjoyed the show. A few weeks later, my first daughter was born. Th...  

. . . above them all. The Stones had just played a smokin' rendition of Gimme Shelter midway thru the show when Mick took a break to introduce the band. Usually, Charlie gets up and walks to the front of the stage, acknowledging the howling of tens of tho... 

Hello Art and friends, It was sad news that Charlie passed away but the music will live on forever. One of my favourite albums is “Let It Bleed”, with the the first number being “Gimmie Shelter”. If you haven’t heard it played on a good system using a vin...  

This Patek could also have adorned Charlie's wrist

He was a cool guy.

Have a nice and relaxed weekend my dear friend. Cheers! Abel

I enjoy my vinyl album collection as the album artwork is always creative and reflects the era. It’s been a busy weekend that started with an impromptu BBQ that ended rather late 😉 Have a great weekend.

… and also informative sometimes. I’m happy to know about your BBQ! It looks that you ate having a very enjoyable weekend my friend!! Best cordial regards Abel

. . . almost as remarkable as your 9"'-90! And that photo of toddler Charlie . . . too precious. His character was evident even then . . .

Good old Decca ! Thanks Art.
