Horological Meandering

YES...surely you will not be comparing a tool watch with another watch, made to demonstrate what is now possible. With computers. CNC cutters. Sophisticated programmes to aid calculations. All and more. But HANDWORK is unavoidable, even if one tried. ie u...  

Ur collection is like treasure bro ! :)

Thamks Jeff, The most amazing thing is that I managed to build that stash over 30 years just by saving and spemding very carefully. I guess it came down to a fact that I always seemed to buy the LEAST loved watches, that became loved later.

On a submarine voyage.

Ronald, I must have been crazy!! The inside was full of sharp corners!!! And I had to jump from one boat to the sub!!! But I think it will be the worlds first n only tourbillon to travel in a sub!

and I must admit the IP1 is one of my favourite GF's of all time. They have now become more and more complicated but this one just focuses on one thing, the stunning double tourbillon... beautiful! I like the red strap too, looks really cool. I know of a ... 

I thought I was the only one daring enough to bring one into a sub. And to make things worse, I have never been in one. To be fair, Luminox spent a fortune...and what they and Scott do are incredibly unselfish. I had actually met Scott at a bar in 2011. W... 

The way I see it, you are more precious than the watch... so if you are happy to risk yourself going down in a sub then the watch is irrelevant if something happens! If something breaks, the watch will be the last thing on your mind apart from maybe using... 

A story per watch you could write a massive tome that would be desirable to own.

I think the world of this man. If I could live only half of what he has done. I could not even get enough time to come to comics con in the USA....sigh.

The upcoming one in Manhattan I will be attending or the San Diego one?

You know the frequency - - it has to be a multiple of 7200 ... Cazalea

at the time of the Comic-Con as I cannot get close housing and a 4 day pass anymore. Would you like some notice via a PM ahead of time?

Is that the "big" one?

going to either I can provide advice and suggestions via PM or email.

I think they and I can find a common ground there.

where your mouth is ;) Thank you for sharing this rare and extraordinary watches You Lucky Man Cheers Damjan

I think for this year alone..the Opus 3 knocked me out.

You're in a different league Bernard. What an amazing collection! Thanks for giving us an eye-opener and a humbling experience. :) Fernando

and of course...other great watches, made for other types of work. Luminox. I would think that at both ends of price, these are about the very best made. I am now waiting for the Swiss Army 20,000 feet watch...it looks like a bubble.

Hey Bernard, I saw your interview in the Chinese ITIME magazine May 2013 issue. Interesting perspective. Dean ...  

I think the Chinese are superb at simply absorbing the luxury items...and they are fresh, not yet colored by old 1965 advertising.

I never thought that this level of finish and detail can be carried on further...especially into a ultra complication. But...it happened: Not to forget, people like Scott who don't collect watches, are of the same breed...simply the best at what they do. ...  

And I can't bear to sell any watches!! Wonderful post mate...and great to see you last week. Best, Horo

Your posts and pictures have never failed to fascinate me. This one is no exception. Seems like the long wait is well worth after all! :) And I agree with you- the red strap looks really awesome on the GF! P.S. Sorry, I didn't knew you were busy the other... 

please drop by, send me an email first.

Gotta prepare for my A Levels.... But see you soon after that! Regards, Robin

Its always a pleasure to see your marvelous collection! I actually saw you and your Greubel Forsey & De Bethune at the time machine event in Paragon the other day! Didn't venture and say hi as I thought it be too forward. Kicking myself for not doing ... 

I am totally harmless to customers and strangers. Only journalists (some) find me to be a bad guy. It has probably much to do with my support for non brands.

Very nice to see a worn GF! Would love to see it one day! Must catch up with you next time :)

Wonderful models and incredible photos! I'm surprised by that, thanks!
