Let’s face it. Many men/women never grow up. Under the guise of adulthood, is the disguise of childhood. Some men wear colourful socks, under their drab coloured attires to work. Others, keep secret collections of collectible toys, be it action-heroes, mo...

Here are a few that spring to mind… The Haldimann H9 Tourbillon… yes, this is a tourbillon.🙈 And the Swatch Bunny Sutra 🐰 Lastly, getting back to the Roulette watch you mentioned, it actually has Black Jack on the front side as well!❤️🖤 ...  

Wow the Haldimann H9 is nice

Really tongue-in-cheek. Amazing verso side of the roulette too. Great to hear from you Brandon.=D I recalled reading about a watch made to function like a zoetrope but cannot seem to find it. That was about 8-10 years ago when some watchmaker made one. Cr...

I believe this model was popular in Brunei or Malaysia. Some Billionaire royalty got one. Those hypocrites. Grrrr

Wow excellent selections

Which is the last picture? It looks like more than meets the eye. The Daniel Roth piece is great too. Oo, the Anderson is one hella tittivating piece.=D The more I see how illogical collectors are, I see reflections of overgrown kids, trapped in an adult ...

I am curious after seeing the yellow watch. Is it made of chocolate or cheese? Which brand and model is that curiousity. Yes, the Opus series by Harry Winston was extremely exquisite and fun. My favourite was the one designed by Andreas Strehler which loo...

Toy watches are right up my jam!! You are talking about the heavily carved second one right? That is actually wood, completely made from various types of wood from a watchmaker in ukraine who never went to watch school but was/is a cabinet maker. Extremel...

Toys for adults. What are your other hobbies?

Golf and sound systems … and horology of course

I'm a fan of the Christophe Claret poker watch

 
 By: jleno : August 11th, 2022-00:12
The main problem I have with it though is that it is a simplified version of poker with much fewer hand combinations than what you would get with a real deck of cards. Regardless, it's a very cool and original complication.

Oh this piece..yes I remember it

 
 By: Cookies : August 23rd, 2022-11:39
No one posted it yet until you thought of it. Beautiful piece and quite a toy indeed!

Yes! Well played!
