…Amanico who was closing in on 400000 posts and, above all, has just turned the venerable age of today!
A big, enormous, kolossal happy birthday, my friend… and my sincere apologies for not being in Paris today to celebrate it properly.


We will never thank him enough for his kindness, his generosity, and his radiant passion for watchmaking…
How many of us — myself first and foremost — have not been contaminated, infected, and conditioned by this passion he shares every day, here or elsewhere?
To pay him the tribute he truly deserves, I suggest you reply to this post by sharing the watch… or one of the watches (if you were heavily contaminated by the Nicolas virus) whose acquisition was caused by him.
The watch industry itself should probably erect a monument in his honor to thank him…
As for me, I’ve simply done my usual foolish things — imperfect, and rushed for lack of time…
