I do have the feeling that the frightening question is THE question.
I would not say that we need only one, but I do think that we don't need so many watches. Time for me to reduce the collection, to fund a few heavy pieces I am running after for a very long time.
For example, I would happily sell 30 of my watches to fund the JLC Gyrotourbillon one. 30 watches for 1 watch in, that's a good ratio.
Best,
Nicolas
THE CONTEST has ended people!
And not because one of the "magnificent five" gave up. No, because I got nervous. This whole thing was obviously meant for good sport and a laugh, but I never could have been able to foresee some PuristS take it to the next level. All sorts of questions a...
Its just not human to last that long but well done to all....
I could not last that long J
Congrats to the winners!
An impossible feat for some but endurance and perseverance will take you to the next level.
Humnaly impossible!
I cant even last a day with a watch... Respect, respect, respect!!!
Five month. One watch.
That is really some achievement!👍 I've just started my self challenge of one watch for the five weekdays. 😂

Finally!!!
After all you are a good man...cool first shot...for February 2018 luckily there is delete button Cheers D
Phew! Thank goodness :-)
Now I can finally start wearing the Moser that I bought nine days ago!! Thanks for organising this Arie! Great fun and a test of one's willpower which is not too difficult for a stubborn oaf like me!
Oh well all good things come to an end!!
Hi all it has been a pleasure taking part in this contest even though I had actually started to only wear one watch a few months earlier in November. I have indeed already sold off what was one of my Keepers my Omega Baby PloProf and do intend to move mos...
So we will see pics of it on your wrist soon?!?
again; great show of stubbornness ;-)
Absolutely!
As I am a stubborn dinosaur, I do not possess a smart phone and will ask someone to take a photo of the watch on my wrist. I have been staring at it and had the pleasure of winding it for the last 9 days! Nothing like the smoothness of a good winding crow...
Finally a new watch on the wrist!
Nine days old and finally wearing it for the second time after trying it on at the shop!! ...
A very timely end to this display of stamina. (?)
Several Court-appointed Psychiatrists were to weigh in this very week with recommendations for the type of facilities which would best serve these 5 gentlemen. You have saved several countries untold costs for treatment, Arie. You are to be commended.
Congrats to all!
I take my hat off (and obviously taken my watches on and off) in salute as well. Bravo to all you crazies!
Hats off to these five Brave Gentlemen!! Friends... I deeply admire your strenght...
... to endure this hard trial! Of course your feat fires in us deep thoughts about the madness of our passion: so many watches see too little wrist time each year while our collector greediness asks for more when we know that just one watch... errr... may...
Sorry for stating the obvious, but how can there be five winners?!
When the competition ended AFTER Nicolas dropped out? To me it looks like four winners and Nicolas (sorry, my friend) is first looser! Best Blomman
I was late posting the end of the contest
(end was July 1th, but I was late....despite all my watches)
Why, for the love of God would anyone torture themselves this way?
Is it an offering to the gods? Stranded on a desert island or South American jungle? Perhaps a jury found you guilty, but a death sentence too lenient? Why would anyone do this to themselves?
But...
how many women do you keep in the drawer or safe from which to choose each day?
