Horological Meandering

A rich year, this year, with some excellent and a few less good moments. All starts, for a watch lover and moderator, with the SIHH and its series of novelties. Was it a good SIHH? In terms of novelties, there were some highlights. Jaeger Lecoultre with t...  

Nicolas - thank you for your great insightful perspective for 2018. Hope the new year will bring us fresh ideas from the watch industry - both vintage and new. Personally, I hope brands other than PP and Rolex gain some collector mindshare. Partha

Best wishes for 2019. I look forward to your posts and pictures for the coming year and let’s hope for some really fine new watches to see and drool over. Regards Kev.

Guess you got to take time & start writing a book ! I’m sure 2019 is going to be a better year than 2018 !! Best, Mahesh.,

your data base on vintage examples deserve an edition by itself!

What a fantastic time to be a watch enthusiast.

with the exception of that incident early in 2018 which our Purists Community made sure you came out from whole which makes it a positive in the end. What's first on your list for 2019 my friend? Modern or vintage? Something known or yet to be decided? Pl... 

Thank you for showing me your bag of treasures and the patented Borat system 😉 Have a great 2019 and hope you get more watches 👍🏻

And what an incredible year we had reading Purists, with many thanks to you. Looking forward to tagging along in your adventures in 2019.

I enjoyed that stroll quite a lot, Nicolas. Thank you. M4

Hopefully 2019 will have fewer low points. Cheers JML

BTW I had occasion to see the Polaris Geographic (1/300) at the Miami boutique this week and it is quite nice. It’s quite sporty, so I think that on the right rubber strap it would really be something.

Thanks for sharing so much of your time and knowledge with everyone here. A real pleasure to read your posts. Wish you a tremendous year in 2019!

Let’s hope that 2019 is even better for you.

A fruitful and eventful 2018, making time and effort to document the year is really something. I must have missed your Nov post about the story of your polaris which I will go look for it. Have a great 2019 with many more new discoveries! Best, SF

Very interesting to see what direction Mrs. Renier will go for JLC. I'd like to see them developing new, modern calibers with power reserve at least 70 hours. Also would love to see a blue dial reverso classic in GT size.

For me the one thing I will remember your year 2018 by is your Nicolas of Arabia shots of the Duometre from Morocco

... To us all, Amanico. You always have the information when collectors need it. When it comes to Jaeger LeCoultre, no one knows more. You always have the best pictures and merci beaucoupe for sharing them with us. It was great to spend a little time with...
