how you live your life is an inspiration to us all.
A kind hearted soul, sometimes misunderstood by some but certainly worthy of respect and admiration by ALL.
Watches aside, a gentleman who dares AND actually lives life to the fullest whilst maintaing his priorities and retaining respect of the people that REALLY matter. We are both privileged and honored. More power to your new pursuits. All the best in your future endeavors.
Thank you again...

Mysteries 21/25 The completion of my dearest collection, my LV Box number 1
By: bernard cheong : March 1st, 2011-01:13
It has been great learning. The most rewarding. yet, sad, in many ways, that from 1997 to 2011..these 10 pieces will fill and STAY filled, inside the LV box till my next generation. It began in TZ and ends with my new beginnings with the Foundation Haute ...
Great post, Bernard!

A stunning collection

and to think that you have not worn any one of them. Whilst it is true that I don't necessairly buy for investment, I don't really want to through my money out of the windows so I choose carefully (or I like to think so) and I must confess that some of th...
My dear Grigo..I do wear them. With great care.
By: bernard cheong : March 1st, 2011-04:15
The oldest pieces are the Antiqua 1997 and the Goldpfeil 1997...hardly any scratches...maybe 10 to 12...which I like. The small scuffs, too small to be seen with eyes like mine..are memories.
Sorry I misunderstood
By: grigo : March 1st, 2011-06:28
I am glad to hear thaty you actually wear them. Best regards, George

...of watch collecting. I first came to know you or read about you in Watchtime when they did a profile on you where you lined up your watches across iron rod connecting weights, gosh, what do you call it...with your Spiderman comics collection as the bac...

In the early years, before the merging of the big brands...I have been a good friend of Gunther Blumlein. His untimely and sudden death left me with much sadness, and I closed the collection of Langes with the last piece he showed o me..the Datograph. Til...
Did I understand well?

You plan to retire this box for the next generation? Cheers
Yes INDEED....you did.
By: bernard cheong : March 1st, 2011-21:11
I think that together with my 2 boxes of Pateks, THIS box will be a more interesting box than all the rest! In 2028. I will still be around though ..in 2028!
Respect
By: SJX : March 1st, 2011-10:17
It is difficult to agree with much of what you say or do, and impossible to agree with some of it. But you have my respect and also gratitude for being a friend. Congrats on the position with the FHH - you deserve it! - SJX This message has been edited by...
Heey, after you took over Cartier, I will be saving for one soon!
By: bernard cheong : March 1st, 2011-21:32
I have always wanted a Cartier, but never dared to wear one as I was a bit rough at the edges. Now that I am older and milder, I will want to look at a few of these babies. But I will have to start with the jeweled ones and gold...I like those.
Always a treat reading your article....

It's like a journey you bring us along, at the risk and expense of yourself alone. We just selfishly sit back to watch. I have great respect of your vision and gut. You continue to inspire me about the passion of life . Thank you Bernard Lovesss*CL

Unlike the interest in food and cars, the watch industry must never nuture an exclusive snotty nature...exclusivity is to be supported by its depth of history and art, not $$$$ and not fame..and that will be quite a task that I have set myself. That is my...

mine is pleasantly active seeing this fantastic and idiosyncratic collection. This reads a bit like a valedictory note, if so that is sad, but all the best for your endeavours - best Andreas

I always appreciate you and many others who understand me..that's fuel.

Like any human being, I am totally emotional. There are days which confuse me with all sorts of mixed signals. But I use my favorite defence...ignorance. Chuckles!!! Ignorance can be built into a pliable shield and forged into a considerable weapon of def...

1st infected me with Genta, which was the easy part. Now, finally took the plunge and got myself some LV, after seeing your poplar trunks. Man, you are infectious/contagious. BTW, awesome superwatches there.
