Jay (Eire) initiates a heartfelt tribute to a cherished community member, Spangles (Christopher), a month after his passing. This post serves as a poignant reminder of Christopher's significant contributions to the WatchProSite community, particularly his passion for brands like F.P. Journe, Breguet, Grand Seiko, and Credor, encouraging members to share their memories and watches in his honor.

It’s been a month since Spangles / Christopher passed away.  


For those of you that may have missed it here’s the original post sharing news with our community that one never wishes to share.

Also sharing another post by Christian that same week, Christopher was also a fan and collector of F.P.Journe.

I thought it would be nice to share some watches here thinking specifically of Christopher.  


With that in mind if you have a Breguet in your collection let’s see it, he was as many of you know a passionate Breguet collector.


But he was also an avid indie collector and beyond that had more recently acquired watches from Grand Seiko and 

Credor.  So please post some pictures of any of those you may own too.    


I will share the now discontinued smaller case size La Tradition. This is not my watch but this is the first Breguet I truly could see myself owning (when I first noticed it in the late 2000s).  I don’t own one, but I do think about it a lot.


Let’s see what you all have got.
