Dear friends

Thank you for all the wonderful posts sharing your passion, knowledge and amazing pictures and not least for your friendships. It is a genuine pleasure to be part of this forum.

I think we have an amazing pool of regular participants with fantastic collections who stay here for years and some even for decades. I think it’s worth giving some thought. We have also welcomed a lot of new members on the Journe sub forum in the past year. I think it proves the important role of an independent enthusiast watch forum among the many channels there are for watch discussion and watch information today. I look forward to sharing the passion with you in the coming year.

The sun is setting on 2020. I think we all hope the marking of this occasion will be the beginning of a much better new year. That is my sincere wish for all of you here. Hopefully we can also travel and I look forward to meeting some of you in person again. I have really missed this part in the past year.

Happy new year

Christian
