How often do you take out and admire the full collection?

Not often

Only on holiday time.

Very special. 👌

Everyday when I put my watch away at night and sometime in the morning too! At night I often put each watch one by one on my wrist sometime to "feel" the vibe that give me !

Excellent! Each watch definitely has its own vibe

 
 By: LS : November 18th, 2022-00:29

Sure does, even when changing a strap!

Very rarely to be honest….

 
 By: dedestexhes : November 16th, 2022-18:30

Never. Since the collection is rarely ever all in one place.

Most of it is at the bank!

Must be a nice once if it needs to be kept in the bank vault!

 
 By: LS : November 18th, 2022-00:29

Never. Alas. Hence the idea of reducing it.

Nicolas, I hear you

 
 By: LS : November 18th, 2022-00:30

Which is a good idea. If I let 10 go for one in... Good ratio.

 
 By: amanico : November 18th, 2022-07:46

Never

Too complicated to gather them all

+1

 
 By: amanico : November 16th, 2022-21:29

+1 House can’t hold them all

 
 By: cazalea : November 17th, 2022-00:28

About every day. It’s therapeutic

 
 By: vallura : November 16th, 2022-21:25

I certainly agree

 
 By: LS : November 18th, 2022-00:30

As often as I can. It's essential, because I've always treated collections as a whole. I want to be able to appreciate all my collectibles together even when I don't wear or use them. It also helps me think about composition, and if or what to change.

 
 By: Rosneathian : November 16th, 2022-21:32

Interesting. Pieces of a whole

 
 By: LS : November 18th, 2022-00:31

Each collectible is its own thing and also part of a larger composition.

 
 By: Rosneathian : November 18th, 2022-16:37
There are feedbacks in both directions. Each piece can add to a whole, while the whole can inform them choice of each piece. Collecting = composition + curation (a simple formula for a simple mind).

Every time I go to the bank vault

Nice!

 
 By: LS : November 18th, 2022-00:32

Alas, never (being it in several banks), thought I would LOVE to one day, especially when it comes to my beloved Rare Handcraft sub-collection....we'll see (it mostly boils down to a matter of security), but it's certainly a great idea! ;-)

Build a fortress of solitude. Then all of the watches could be brought to one place

 
 By: LS : November 18th, 2022-00:32

I think they are called....'banks vaults' in Italy (and in the US), and they seem to serve the purpose a little more efficiently if you have some valuables to store! ;-)))

Love your collection, especially the vintage? VC in the box - right hand side. Ultra thin?

 
 By: Ping.Timeout : November 17th, 2022-01:02

Thank you.

 
 By: LS : November 18th, 2022-00:35
The vintage VC is a 6115 from the ‘60s I believe. It was sent to Geneva a few years ago and the movement was resorted, but the dial was not touch and the case was left un-polished. It is now developing a bluish patina on the bezel. ...  

Thanks for the info. It’s a treasure
