Colors on the MR and pocket watches are beyond real. I found the colors on the wood marquetry dial not as vivid . That is why I have a mixed feeling about them

You are indeed a most fortunate man and a special customer of the London salon. Ed is indeed a star as he always has been. I hope to meet you at the Asian show either in Hong Kong or Singapore in 2019!
Thanks - I'll be there!

Nobody told me that there would be the next Grand Exhibition nor where it would be organised. I made just a lucky guess and I know that Mr. Stern visits very often Singapore... So see you there! Best, Kari
Fingers crossed!

I would love for it to be in Singapore as it is close by and besides all the SIngapore ADs are also based in Malaysia so it will give me time to establish a relationship to enable me to have an outside chance on obtaining a novelty!
I’m near certain Lionel Richie wrote a song about you, Kari.

“… I took with me my Leica Q, charged the battery but when I started to take photos, I noticed that I forgot the memory card. On the second visit I had a memory card in my pocket, but forgot the camera to the hotel. On the third visit I decided to use my ...
Nice reading :)

It's interesting reading about people's thoughts and what is everyone's different perspective on an event or a watch. You know, I've also been thinking at what I would like if I were to get a Minute Repeater. I love the 5029P (a 10-piece edition to commem...
Interesting Mark

that you like the 5029P too. Many have forgotten how lovely this repeater was in its relatively small case, Breguet hands and numerals. And thank you for the confirmation that the 2019 event will be in Singapore. I shall reserve the entire month of July 2...
If I could,

the MR plus WT belongs to the same group as the Rare Handcrafts. That would be my choice. If I should go for a watch listed as Rare Handcrafts, I would go for a pocket watch. Probably the First Step on the Moon. Best, Kari
Totally agree

Entire globe GF style ;)
By: keks : July 30th, 2017-02:41
GF has a piece with an entire globe rotating on a pole to pole axis on the dial, perhaps Patek will throw a rotating enamel globe in one of their 2019 editions Titanium edition on my wrist (not my watch I must add): ...
I go there very often, next time in three weeks.

I would like living in Finland much more but business is business. The taxation is very attractive and it does not harm to get a couple of watches tax free. Best, Kari
Fiat stays here, as well as my Beetle.

I will be travelling a lot between Europe and Singapore and in Singapore it's going to be just hard work. Let's see how I'll tolerate it. Might be that later I will take also the family permanently there or then I'll employ a good CEO to Singapore. Time w...
Wonderful Grand Exhibition!
By: jon_jon : July 27th, 2017-23:47
Appreciate the great write-up about the Grand Exhibition NYC and some comparisons to the Saatchi Gallery London Exhibition. I was also fortunate enough to attend both the London Exhibition and the NYC Exhibition. I have to say both of these Exhibitions we...
Hope to see you there.
By: dr.kol : July 29th, 2017-02:39
When the dates are confirmed, I'll book a nice room for myself from Mandarin Oriental. It will be great to meet many friends from this forum. Best, Kari
Thank you Kari.

I've been to NYC 57 times in the last eight years, but unfortunately the stars could not align this time. However your post (and those of other Purists) made up for it, thank you! Fully agree on the MR - of course it's when jet lagged that you need a remi...
