Key Points from the Discussion

ChristianDK playfully illustrates a long-term watch collecting strategy, suggesting that 'planting' six good watches and nurturing them over 8-10 years will yield a 'Pinus Horologicus' that produces a new watch 'fruit' annually at Christmas. This metaphor highlights the patience and long-term vision often associated with building a significant watch collection.
K-Lo acknowledges the F.P. Journe watch featured in ChristianDK's post, subtly shifting focus to the timepiece itself and appreciating its aesthetic appeal.

That’s easy Patrick

You need a fairly large pot of soil. Take 6 good watches and bury them. Remember to water every day. Just wait 8-10 years and you get a Pinus Horologicus. It produces one fruit every year at Christmas time. Voila 🎄😁
