. . . get started, folks! What are our targets for 2016, plus, what are we wearing today? 2015 brought three Seikos and three Omegas (one of which was a total surprise!) to my collection, which is now past the two dozen mark. Any new addition has to be a ...  

Striking the 24 hours with Class is Class. Cherish your beloved ones. Nicolas ...  

. . . the coming year, Nicolas?

And in the vintage JLC world... ...  

I sincerely hope that you get the Duometre (or all of them) you wish in 2016!

is hard to beat, but I assume even harder to find All the best, CC

A little bird told me yesterday (at an undisclosed boutique) a 39 mm is coming? ?

And why a 39 when you have a 40mm? I can understand a smaller version for people with smaller wrists though. Asia is a big market after all... I guess we will know in a few months if it\'s true or an honest mistake of the boutique coworker....

So the little bird knew

Two unpolished Geophysic with original plexi, one in steel and one in rose gold. And a new plexi for my Deep Sea Alarm, since the JLC Manufacture vintage workshop had the courtesy to damage the once I have... To mount a misfitting plexi like this is not w...  

. . . cents coup." Condemnation well deserved. The desecration of your collection is practically unimaginable, blomman. And the pain must be unbearable. Here's hoping there will be a remedy from Le Sentier, and the sooner, the better. Sincerely, Art

And I am not sure what they can do unless they have some hidden original watches they could give me instead... Thank you for understanding. Best Blomman

You expect more from a Manufacture like JLC. Best Blomman

that has been a quite disastrous year in that respect. Let's hope 2016 will find you some sweet candy to bring back happiness CC

"Put a smile on my face" watches. Because if I can't find back the happiness in watches... Then I am done. Best Blomman

..Still hope you re-discover your passion for the wonderful JLC pieces; But now you \'re having a more than remarkable brand with beauties within Vintage, Modern and classics vs High End Horology. - have to say, 2015 for GP was a great year, a year when I... 

. . . is the deaf watchmaker. I had several issues with my previous watchmaker; the final indignity was polishing the case of the Ω ref 2364 . . . [the only image in my files taken before initial servicing] . . . which had a beautiful patina. I told the j...  

Facets and edges will not be the same. Best Blomman

One thing I am sure of is that I will never let any watchmaker from JLC come near any of my watches again! Best Blomman

Discounting some health issues that were fixed for good, it was a great year. I had a major struggle to decide what watch to wear during the New Year party but at the end, here is the winner: Got this watch in May. Only Mr. C. from the IWC Boutique could ...  

. . . would be on your wrist this last day of 2015, Nilo. There's one at home presently . . . . . . but I'm not going out tonight, so it's staying on the dresser. Tomorrow, perhaps . . . first day of 2016 would be reason enough to wear the capstone of my ...  

Maybe some day your German and my German can meet.

And what is on the cards for 2016?

I just want to see all the hands move. As for next year: a Reverso is at the top of the list; but with so many wonderful ones from which to choose, I'm not sure what to pick. I'd also like to replace my long-gone Datograph, although I am unsure about whic...  

. . . wrist at the party. Happy New Year to you, too, Padj! Art

And a Rolex King Midas (1st or second series, left handed) for my wife.

. . . the new year?

Hi Art. I sincerely hope I don't buy any more watches in 2016 (famous last words, anyone?). But in keeping with the spirit of this thread, here are some that have crossed my mind in the recent past: JLC Master Ultra-thin Reserve de Marche in platinum GP 1...  

. . . from accumulating, and of course, a time to break off altogether. Glad I'm not at the breaking point yet ;-) . . .

Hope 2016 brings one or both

great theme to start the new year Art! Here is the watch I am wearing to welcome 2016. My trusty Lange 1 And my wish list for 2016 (am trying to keep it short and focused). Not that I will get all or any of them - just a dream for some Montblanc Villeret ...  

With such wonderful choices... I wish you get all And the 1858 for good measure!

After my delayed Lange 1815 honey gold So that is 2 watches for 2016 ordered from 2015. Probably burned off all my 2016 watch funds already! :p Thank you my friend. I hope our wishes come thru Cheers Robin

. . . just that.

Must be something special I suppose

. . . and the asking price is right. The major problem is that it's overseas, which makes me a bit wary; I'll need to do a fair amount of research to pull this one off.

. . . is dream." Dreams are made of this

I am a natural dreamer Cheers Robin

What else ? What else ? My LLD off course, just wondering who i send it to for that service :-( Filip ...  

Several more have gotten the clock in between Have found the Tuna you have but the shop was closed, so have not tried it on yet - soon though.

Good to hear i'm a bad influence ;-) Bim

Glad you got us all to enjoy another piece of horology - you should be proud of yourself

.. i just hope my mom is proud of me

In any case, I\'m grateful for your helpful tip

. . . about mine. ...  

You just bought another SEIKO !

.. finally moved to his new location, he didn't want any watches in the house during the move i guess ... so one of these days they'll finally get there ..

Heinz !!! These two are cousins ... the black one with red detailing (SRP 229) is around 46 mm and the blue one should be 50.2 mm. Pretty big beasts but despite that it works very well on my tiny wrist. Both house the in-house Seiko 4R36 movement which i ... 

BTW: sometime end of March sounds feasable maybe..

.. is very likely since i have a job in Paris then ;-) Bim

.. the blue one SRP 653K1 ... Bim

This one on the last evening of 2015: JLC 1901, WG / ~60ies The right conundrum for theatre yesterday.. The one for today: TT Geophysic 58 And then.. The next little project for 2016: GP Traveller, Gde Date, Moonphase, and GMT / Sapphire dial Scheduled ar...  

I believe a great choice. All the best, CC

That JLC is a great choice for the theatre. And congrats on the GP - lovely addition

.. a very nice dinner & Change of the year .. Yes, indeed this GP Traveller w Sapphire Dial is a nice piece, IMO. - Will be delivered in Feb. Cheers & Best, hs

So your profile says and that theatre picture seems familiar

. . . sounds so much better in French. And more fitting, too. ;-)

. . . my friend and near-neighbor, mrsnak, already has a Caravelle. Or, as they say in France, Monsieur snak

My trusty Chopard LUC Chrono One. Somehow almost always appropriate (IMHO), my first serious watch and one that will remain one of my favourites for a long time to come As for 2016, one watch I would definitely love to acquire is the following - a Chopard...  

Happy hunting, as well !.. Best, hs PS: and yes, that Habring2 Felix is a cute choice, nicely under-the-radar , but all one needs..

There are surely many more but these are the highest on the list. And I guess at least one will become reality in 2016

. . . a domestic stablemate to your collection. Please remind me if I'm right! Art

I also see you are very partial to the Karrees. Do you like the newer designs as well?

. . . that I both admire and would like to own. The PanoReserve, Senator Seventies Chrono . . . . . . and Senator Chronometer . . . . . . head the list. The problem is that, besides and beyond restrictions imposed by financial considerations, my collectio...  

And I have to say I admire it greatly. I also do not want to endlessly add to my collection but luckily critical mass is still some years away

. . . critical mass. Bad stuff happens. Dr No, meet Dr Strangelove Like they say: better safe than sorry!

First of all, all the best in the New Year to all PuristS. I went from 2015 into 2016 with a very classic companion, my rose gold GP 1966. For 2016, I will continue to grow my GP collection and will look at adding what becomes available in the vintage dep...  

The modern Sea Hawk is a cool watch. Will you go for the former one, as suggested by your picture, or the current one? I must say that the current blue one is tempting me a lot. Now, I would well see a Vintage 45 Mechanics of Art, Blue... Without mentioni... 

I think I made up my mind to look for the former Sea Hawk II as there is a 40mm version and I think it will be a better fit than the 44mm current Sea Hawk, even I really like the blue/orange version. Vintage 45 Mechanics of Art? Another possible target, b...
