My favorite is the Montblanc Chronograph!
Fantastic photos my indefatigable friend!
Some will find it strange, but I don't, that my favorite watch is the Montblanc 1858 chronograph with the Villeret movement. Just wonderful!
The Harry Winston Opus is a bit strange, kind of a Hollywood Walk Of Fame starred sidewalk thing. When I first saw it, I was thinking Thierry Mugler went into watches...

Very impressive lineup to view.
For me I would be very happy with the Sarpaneva RG KO Northern Lights or the Voutilainen Vigt-8 or the Gronefeld Parallax on my wrist. Way to many awesome choices out there.
Thanks for sharing your photos.

What is your impression of the Garrick Norfolk?
The watch design looks kind of nice, but how does it looks/feels in the metal?
It has a fired enamel dial (in-house) made from silver. The hands have a nice maritime anchor style and are thermally blued (option). 42 / 12,5 mm case and a Unitas hand wound movement (exhibition case back optional).
Opinion on MR Voltige 1770
Dear Sir,
I was wondering what is your opinion on the MR Voltige 1770, is it a really high-end watch? How would you compare it with the MB&F 101, I currently have an opportunity to trade a 2006 IWC Portuguese 5001 in yellow gold (plus 5000 USD) for a MR Voltige, the exact model that you took the picture! As I never had the opportunity to hold the watch in my hand, and the watch is on a city really far from mine, I would like to know your opinion on the trade?

I was thinking about making the trade, and after buying a IWC Portuguese 1939 in steel, to replace my Portuguese. But first I need to make sure of the quality of the Manufacture Royale.
So, would you make that trade?
Hello Fernando!
I have never owned a MR Voltige 1770 but I have owned the MR Androgyne and the MB&F 101. I would like to state that although the MR is finished well, it cannot compare to the MB&F 101 where Kari Voutilainen's name is printed on the movement and we all know what type of finishing he represents. Yes the MR is a tourbillon and and may appear like good value but after making many mistakes over the years, I am now a firm believer that you get what you pay for! Also, the MB&F commands a much higher resale value than the MR. The MR is more wearable as the 101 is over 16mm thick due to the domed glass. It is totally up to you of course as the MR is an attractive looking watch but that is exactly the same reason why I bought an Androgyne at Salon QP in 2011. Also note that you can tell the quality of the 101 just by the smoothness of the winding crown. The MR will not have the same smoothness. I would not make the trade.

Thank you very much for your response!
I hope you have an amazing 2018.
Best,
