An interesting Cartier PW
I saw this in Paris recently. It displays three timezones. the sub registers are set by pushing the tiny pusher at 11 with a finger nail. The dial had some texture and patina but, in a nice way. ... I was seriously tempted to get it. The idea of a PW is s...
I’m with you on the pocket watch hunt
often amazing history, amazing value for money, amazing finishing. Just have to find the right one. I’m looking for very high end chronometres even combined with tourbillons. All somehow accessible.... You’re example has also a lot of charm. Just thinking...
Im with you, Dirk. I have seen some spectacular pieces from Vacheron and Patek

Amazing lineup! I didn’t know,

About 20 I think

20 is quite a substantial collection...
But I am relieved to hear that you still see the potential for expanding it ...LOL Christian
Yes, agree George - I was seriously tempted by it, but felt I didnt know enough about PWs.
An interesting detail - it was not plexi but crystal glass. The Journe I love. A highly original piece and such a harmonious watch to wear both because af the symmetry of the dial and the nice proportions of the case.
