Jay (Eire) shares a lighthearted anecdote that beautifully encapsulates the diverse passions within the watch collecting community. This post highlights the joy and breadth of horological interests, from classic elegance to more avant-garde pieces. It serves as a reminder that collecting is as much about personal enjoyment and discovery as it is about specific references.
Two Purists walk into a coffee shop, both wristed in style. They order drinks, and the Barista asks, "So, what brings you here?"
One purist replies, "We’re just here to unwind."
The other quickly adds, "But only in one direction!"
Eclectic selection this morning, the joy and range of watch collecting.



Great pair and cool shots 👏🏻🙌🏻
Hope to see the Breguet in the metal someday!
While I like the yellow gold, and for many of these watches it’s always the yellow gold I see when I picture them, the white gold here makes it’s much easier watch to wear and therefore enjoy.
…the other’s verified and established.
