Building up to a crescendo....
Earlier in the year, I received the coveted 5370P which kept me quiet for a while.
As the year comes to a close, the bug got me itchy again and i resumed my acquisition trail. Last month saw several pieces incoming...
Firstly, a relatively modest one - Parmigiani made 8 exclusive pieces with a local AD by modifying its (new) Toric Chronometer model - a white gold-blue dial version. The date was moved to the 12 o'clock position and a small seconds hand was installed at 6 o'clock. Also, the index '8' was applied in rose gold, giving the piece a more unique feeling....

Then a piece I have been waiting for patiently....the FP Journe Vagabondage III jumping seconds in platinum, a limited production of 69 pieces. The movement is gorgeous!
Finally, I was informed that my grail will soon be available around Christmas. I quickly rushed to the bank and bought some Euros. It's a BIIIGGG piece, can you guess what it is? Here is a hint - it is limited to 20 pieces and I have to sell one of my kidneys to fund it 
All the best for the coming holiday seasons!

Fabulous acquisitions!
Nice Miro In the background as well. Looking forward to the big reveal for the final piece
I’ve had the chance to see this FPJ Vagabondage III in real recently. Truly impressive timepiece and wonderful purchase. Congrats
Regarding your big incoming timepiece, could it be a Patek Philippe LE minute repeater? Best wishes Alkiro
Yes, the V3 is a marvellous design
The only pity is that the hour+minute and the jumping seconds mechanisms are powered separately and therefore not synchronized. As for the big incoming - most Patek repeaters are not limited editions. Also my hearing is not so good so I am shying away fro...
You are finishing off 2017 in a momentous way.
Wonderful additions, and looking forward to the final piece. Could it be a Lange?
Congrats and thanks for sharing...
The bespoke dial of Parmigiani piece is awesome and special that I like. Merry Christmas and happy new year ahead. Stefan
Thanks for sharing these lovely treasure! Who made that Daytona, Ferrari?

Thanks Thomas
I promise. I tried uploading a video but the file was too big. Any way, once the last piece arrives, I will take them to be shot by a professional photographer ....
