Further about my Series 2....
Hi Everyone -
First - My objective is to not open or rehash an earlier conversation....
I just received the Contemporary Watchmaking book by Michael Clerzio -
I made a comment a few weeks ago about that I personally felt my Series 2 was nicer finished than my KV 27.
If you have the book - please see page 226. These are photos of my Series 2 - 18-C. In my opinion, It just doesn't get better. At least those of you who I call friends, and some of you who I don't know, can together see from what reference point I make my comments.
So, maybe different examples are, well, different. But the one I am staring at next to me and in this book is really well done.
The book is truly fantastic if you haven't picked up a copy yet. It really nice to see a a compilation like this.
Enjoy the day!

I far prefer the S2 over ANY KV
Not to be unnecessarily provocative, but I just don't love KV's watches--I can n ot deny they are executed at the highest of all levels, but they do not speak to me. The S2 reeks of soul and has the execution in riches. A terrible comparison would be (lau...
Well, an interesting point of view which I respect
but I would say I am on the opposite end of the spectrum--RS designs, while executed to incredible levels, leave me flat, while every KV watch I have seen ignites passion. Pretty subjective issues. And interestingly when we turn to the concecpt of level o...
That's a brilliant comparison, Mostel . . .
. . . and now, the $64 question: if Eddie is to Roger as Joe is to Kari, then Keith is to _____ as ____ is to Romain . . . fill in the blanks! Regards, Art
Blasphemy!...
Surely there is 'only' Keef?? "There is but one true Keef..." "Thou shalt have no other Keefs but me..." "I am the way, the Keef and the light..." "Forgive them, Keef, they know not what they say..." Cheers, pplater.
WHOAHHOAAHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DUDE - SATRIANI HAS WRITTEN MANY MANY MANY GREAT SONGS!!!!!!! AND ALBUMS for that matter!!!! (SURFING, FLYING, IS THERE LOVE IN SPACE - I MEAN, IT DOESNT GET BETTER THAN THAT!!!) HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT ABOUT HIM . HE"S A GOD!!!! In fact - if you we look at...
Hi Adam, you are way too sensitive.
I'm one of your 'friend' and I'm not questioning you regarding your statement. I was just saying I would love to see your Series 2 and your Kari 27 next to each other..... because I have seen your 27 and I was literally very impressed. So for you to say t...
:-) About Satriani, yes!
I promise I will make this happen. You will see both pieces next to each other and I will show you why I feel the way I do. And yes - you have been a "friend" for many years . I'm much more sensitive about Satriani than anything else. If I could be him, I...
Fun thread!
I've been laughing at almost every post! I too play guitar, but only to calm the nerves and sing some favorite songs... I'll have to think what Rock God Dufour and Gauthier are like... Hmmm. Kieth Richards, while a rock god, never struck me as a technical...
Okay I've got it!
Hendrix is Dufour. (that was easy.) Gauthier? the new blood... young... oh so promising... Jimmy Page before Zeppelin. This message has been edited by Mostel on 2009-11-16 18:07:18
That is hilarious, Adam.
Don't forget Yngwie! This message has been edited by Mostel on 2009-11-16 18:08:49
Would that be Yngwie J. Malmsteen or Yngwie L.?
It's a subtle difference to some, but very important to us cognoscente! ;-) So who is the Mike Stern of watchmaking? Bill This message has been edited by WHL on 2009-11-17 04:57:54
Mike Stern is my plumber.
Oh, wait. Not that Mike Stern.... I didn't even know who he was! Great player. Thanks for the reference. If anything, I bet a lot of us got some new music to listen to out of this thread.
A plumber probably makes more money....
But I would think it is more fun to be a guitar god. Mike Stern has the finest solo I have ever heard on the Coltrane standard Giant Steps. I think I would slit my wrists if I were ever assigned to transcribe it.... Bill
OF course...
Yingwie is in financial trouble and was selling a lot of his guitars recently at auction I believe. Stevie Ray, Eric Johnson, Al D, Vai, New Blood - Johnny Lang, John Mayer (as we know, a big watch fan), Man the list goes on and on - Oh and Trey - Boy do ...
Hear, hear.
Nice, Adam. And as a huge fan of VC, I love the comparison to Yes. And finally, EVH, early days, early stuff, if that kid did not have soul....... I don't know what soul is. This message has been edited by Mostel on 2009-11-17 08:52:33
Thank you for your thoughts on this Adam....
Like with musicians, it is nice to appreciate the diversity of greatness and excellence in watchmaking today. Bill
this thread just goes to show...
That you're almost as confused about music as about watchmaking. (Meant in good fun of course!)
