I guess proper etiquette would be to wear something from the brands showcasing their new models. So if I am ever lucky enough to get a kitchen pass from the wife, 4 kids, and work... I would be wearing this! Thin, discreet, Ppro style Piaget Altiplano Loo...

Piaget is this rare brand that its quality in terms of watches and movements is on par with the best (easily), it is a true manufacture, but somehow flies under the radar. I love them for all that. All the best my friend, Alex

Best wishes Alkiro

Beautiful dials and movements and so many of us forget about this brand. Alex and Mike-really nice!

Hope to meet you one day in person. Thanks for sharing, Mike

All the best, Alex

You’re right about Piaget. Great choice as the Altiplano Ultimate Concept is definitely one of the true star of this 2018 SIHH. Best wishes Alkiro ...  

I hope the Altiplano Ultimate Concept is successful. Somehow Piaget always flies under the radar (in a good way) Have fun at the Show, Mike

I suspect you would have a lot of people stopping you to ask about your watches at SIHH Cheers, Mike

In my mind I would be thinking: "that gentleman definitely has a different taste than others...let me introduce myself" Cheers, Mike

Astronomically fantastic choices.

In the spirit of the theme, here we are in action right now, heading to my mate’s place for dinner. If I was at SIHH this would be my chosen companion because of its ability to change time zones easily and the respect that Grand Seiko has among collectors...

I could say the same about... your whole collection!

And really nice.

I guess I am somewhat boring...my watches fall into 4 color categories: blue, black, grey, white Thanks for sharing that beauty, Mike

I would probably hate having to "dress up" every day at SIHH. Perhaps I need to wear a more casual watch... You have a perfect wrist companion, I never knew you had this vintage Flightmaster in your collection. Thanks for sharing, Mike

What I particularly like about your collection is that every piece has a story Cheers D

I don't think I would have enjoyed my 3 month rotation living in the building as seen on your photo. Cheers, Mike

Amazing Omega Art...one that's growing on me thanks to you! Cheers D

. . . and ahead of any Speed or Seamaster. In a sense, it's the ultimate expression of Speed design. I'd been searching for over a decade before latching onto this one. Art

Best wishes Alkiro

I do love the Lange MP.

Could I be satisfied wearing only my Piaget for the entire SIHH? Seeing your collection, I think I would need to bring a few extras to share with fellow collectors. Very classy choices for SIHH2018. Bravo! Best, Mike

Although a nice Piaget would be a good addition to the travel roll. Thank you Mike!!! 🙏🏼

I love your MB&F .

Fantastic taste!

Really appreciate it!

That VC is very cool.

very different in every aspect but both are remarkable. I don't know many brands that are brave enough to make those VC lugs. Thanks for sharing, Mike

That Polaris would be a wonderful travel companion anywhere! Indeed, when the new JLC models hits the stores, I'd love to hear about your thoughts in regards to the comparison, HAGWE, Mike

So I would go with one of last year's introductions: A non-vintage Vintage (45) so the GP Mafia would let me hang out with them-I know they are a lot of fun. And finally, a simple dress watch-so the Piaget guys would let me hang with them. ...  

Best wishes Alkiro

Best wishes Alkiro

Whether or not we are more fun than the GP mafia I guess we will have to find out ha, ha! Thanks for sharing your selections, Mike

It's a brand I have long admired and yet never sampled.

This Lange has become one of my two favorites from the brand.

It is an under the radar gem!

Like it wasn't enough CC killed me yesterday with 2599 As you said hidden gem Cheers D

Montblanc could just release this again rather than come up with another of their "classic" models...why reinvent the wheel? Great choices Best, Mike

Especially if it was graced with the Cal. 48 or 62.00 movement Thanks Mike!

If I wear a JLC, someone at the Montblanc booth will have comments. If I wear a Lange , VC may not be happy. So, I would rather wear an Indie , or a brand at Basel Happy weekend to everyone ! Cheers Robin ...
