Is watch merely a functional piece or an art?
Of course there is more to a watch then great engineering and fine craftmanship. What makes a Piccaso more appealing than a Renoir? Nothing, simply put, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
What's different about your watch collection?
I was thinking........ incredible information flows and sites like The Purists supported by ThomasM and his team of trusty Moderators, means that we know pretty muh 95% of what's going on and what is developed and what is interesting in the world of Horol...
I know a weirdo who's different
And he is saying: Ho..Ho...Ho... Happy new year from Saint Nicholas Cen Hayek! cen@jkt...
I dissagree entirely......
I think this forum gives us all a bigger insite into what is out there which in turn gives us more to think about and more to look into. I personally wouldn't be interested in any of the pieces you mention...but that is all about personal choice. Why do y...
Everyone has different tastes
You can never force someone to like what you like, and my mom always says "You can't force a cow to drink water." What I think we all learn here is that even though there is a lot of discussion on the same watchmakers, what results from this is the abilit...

Collection
My collection represents my own journey through the watch world. Let's put them into groups: 1. The ones I wanted, which were strategically chosen for their character, features, or maker. The Grand Seikos are my current passion, but I have had a flock of ...
Love your thinking and sense of humor
There so many of out that have yet to figure why we do what we do. one word - "Obsessive" or two "Obsessive Compulsive" All I know is I enjoy it, my banker hates it. The Bonus is there are other crazies out there like me and you so Friendship flourish. Ha...
The common thread...
that runs through our veins is that we all love watches. Collecting them, wearing them, talking about them and learning about them... through research or through each other. Some purchases are dictated by budget but most are dictated by taste. None, i hop...
Ah...campa
They are not for everyone, design wise it is very "unique". Very tech oriented, and yet sometimes using traditional art form (maki-e). You should learn about campanola from the real master: Mr. Kurt Behm. He's the one who influence me that expensive quart...
