Meeting WPS member Robert10….

Robert 10 and I both love Journe watches. I was wearing my Resonance and Robert was wearing a wonderful Tourbillon so we had some fun and made this picture together

…Great friendship, great conversation, great watches - this is what WPS is all about….

A few days ago I had the immense pleasure of meeting Robert10 for the first time. Robert joined WPS a ltttle more than a year ago. But do not underestimate this guy. He is a very serious and knowledgeable collector with a very interesting collection, off the beaten path. In fact he is so serious that after a long work life, he has decided to make the full 5 years course to become a watch maker!! Nuts and very cool!

Robert has been bitten seriously by the FPJ bug like some of us here.

I’m taking the liberty here to share a few of your watches Robert. Hope it’s ok!

A Chronometre Souverain with embossed numerals. Sexy detail!

I completely fell for the that RD dial. It’s very hard to reproduce in pictures how lovely it is.

Also the Cartier is a piece I fell for.

I look forward to our next WPS GTG and to introduce Robert to the community. I’m sure you will enjoy his company and knowledge on all things watches as much as I did.

Thank you for a great day, Robert. I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Sincerely,

Christian

What a nice write-up of a great meeting.

Always fantastic to connect in person, something that has been pretty limited over the last two years. Glad you both were able to make it happen. From what Robert has shared previously regarding his technical horological journey, to me it’s both amazing a...

No doubt about it, dear Mahesh. I will try to bring him to Paris for our next GTG. You will like Robert. He is a great guy 🤗
