in another online media and is still too shy to post on our wonderful forum !

Despite my best efforts, for now “hc” is simply happy to stay in the dark while sharing his passion with us vicariously through yours truly.

So please help me in pulling him into the light by commenting on this post to encourage him.

When I first connected with “hc” in the other online media, I was very pleasantly surprised because he texted me and said that he was a long time lurker and big fan of my posts because we share a strong passion for enamel dials !

Thanks for sharing this superb piece Gordon👍If there’s one interesting and knowledgeable, watch-related page on the entire IG, that is indeed “horology_ancienne”...well known even to me without an IG account!😉

The two gentlemen behind this account should definitely feel free to join our forum, if they so wish — I would say (though I’m slightly partial here) the friendliest, most passionate, and most educated watch venue on the whole web....or am I exaggerating?😁 Cheers.
