. . . and Sergey Brin, and Jeff Bezos, too. But Jobs was the only one who was dismissed from the firm he founded and then returned to excel. G.O.A.T. for sure!

Another great achievement is Pixar, which Jobs purchased, ran it as CEO, and then sold to Disney.

…as my G.O.A.T. is most likely unbeknownst to, or relevant to, anybody but myself. It’s my grandfather, who I’ll refer to as WJM. During the First World War, he joined the Royal Flying Corps as a young man, and trained as pilot. In 1918 he was shot down o...  

. . . like your Grandfather. Integrity, dignity, service to country . . . uncommon virtues today. Deeply impressed, Art

He didn’t talk about it much. Just wanted to get on with things. He was humble.

My grandfather fought for the USA in the Lost Battalion…two Purple Hearts shot through the throat but lived til 100!!! What lives they lead 💜💜💜

Thanks for the stories and images! Cheers, Filip

Does the watch get any wrist time?

Thank you for sharing this with us on WristScan.

Our conversation with Stoikos turned more philosophical so I naturally felt obligated to add one more G.O.A.T. to this thread (my second entry) - Immanuel Kant . Subjectively, unquestionably the thinker who influenced me the most and the reasoning is plai...

Hi Art and friends ! I would like to nominate the crew of Apollo 11 and specifically Commander Neil Armstrong. The reason is, Armstrong took manual control of the Eagle lander as the computer guidance system was malfunctioning. Without his unparalleled sk...  

Tougher than you think 👍

I agree 😬

I can only imagine the pressure and stress that he had faced, whether things were going according to plan or not. Nerves of steel! Like with any profession, knowledge and experience means nothing without focus and not allowing anything to affect that.

It’s a fascinating subject… Armstrong and Aldrin must have had nerves of steel, several computer error alarms sounded during the decent. The first was a code 1202 alarm, even with their extensive training neither Armstrong nor Aldrin knew what this code m... 

He ejected, the margin between life and death was later calculated at less than half a second ! ...  

Have you ever visited “The Cape” Kennedy Space Centre ?

To infinity and beyond!

Frédéric Chopin and Lucien Freud. I could think of nothing more fitting than my humble Tudor BB58B. ...  

Fascinating and at times controversial. ...  

His grandfather was equally quite fascinating, and I am sure is perhaps a G.O.A.T. for many!

. . . the dictionary definition would be illustrated by my image. Lucien Freud as artist Great it shall be. And I'm amazed you're the first to submit a composer . . . I would've thought there would've been at least a few others by now. My favorites - not ...  

Very interesting selection, though I shamefully admit not knowing either, and will do some light research on them both!

. . . even if you haven't heard of him. 😌

This is a more intriguing timepiece than you may consider at first glance. Patek Philippe's reference 3820 in rose gold is powered by their ultra-thin 18-jewel manual-wind calibre 177, which is a mere 1.77mm thick. As perhaps the thinnest timepiece Patek ...
