Horological Meandering

Mine continues exactly where it began

 

Mine begins by watching a white gold Omega Constellation on an equally white gold mesh bracelet, while I do school homework at my dad’s desk and he reads after clinic. Sometimes he winds an old quarter repeater pocket watch.

 

Then:

Orient mechanical green dial day and date

Citizen quartz

Casio quartz

 

At university:

Omega mechanical tonneau shape day and date

Benetton (really fun watch)

Several Swatch. Nice but underwhelming.

 

First job while at Uni:

Seiko chronograph quartz

Cartier tank

Cartier Santos

 

Early Residency:

Bretiling Navitimer

Rolex Dajejust

 

Late residency:

Ordered catalogues from FP Journe and Lange. 

Had children.

No money for watches.

 

Joined PuristsPro:

Breguet Marine Chronometer 5187

Panerai 210

Panerai 190

Longines Diver no date

JLC

Patek AC

ALS Richard Lange

Gerald Genta Gefica

PuristsPro ABR

AP Royal Oak QP

 

Bought a camera:

UN

Patek regulator

Vacheron Américain 1921

Rolex Datejust

 

Took a course:

More Rolex 

More JLC

 

Visited a manufacture:

Vacheron Calendrier

More Patek

Hentschel H1 Chronometer on its way (first independent)

 

 

My hobby. Sometimes my passion.






Back at the very same desk. Sometimes I wind an old quarter repeater pocket watch.
Time flies.

Watch journey

Here’s the evolution of my watch journey. Tag, Tag, Omega, Rolex. It’s been a great trip! Would be great to hear other peoples journeys! ...  

Thanks Epilogue

Yes, would be great to hear your trip down memory lane 👌

Whoa!

That’s some odyssey! Great memories for you 👍

So essentially....

Those Panerai’s are just great looking watches. One for the future for me maybe 🤔

Nice post

I recalled my first watch was a Zenith chronomaster. After that, in the order I remember Omega, Rolex, JLC, Genta, JLC, Longines, Panerai, Omega, AP, Tudor, JLC, GS, Rolex, Rolex, Blancpain, Omega, Tag Heuer, GP, Tudor, Tudor, Tag Heuer… That has been a 1...

That’s some excellent journey you’ve been on Cookies. Great memories I’m sure!

Thanks Dylan

Met some great friends from this forum too. Your question made me realize that I’m been focusing on sporty watches too heavily, and there is a gap. I have no pieces which are grand complications, in full precious metals or dress watches. Oh these first wo... 

It's a great path you've chosen!

Respect for the choices you've made! Love the Rolexes and TAGs in my modest collection and have long since branched out further. Curious to see what direction you go next! Enjoy, and wear them in good health and happiness.

Thanks JToddH

I’m very happy with the Explorer II - can’t see me changing any time soon!

Here are the watches I have owned

It's impossible for me to do this in chronological order. But using the folders of images on my hard drive as my guide, here are the brands I have owned / purchased with my own money, in alphabetical order: (Note: in most cases there have been more than o...  

What can I say?

 
By: cazalea : February 9th, 2022-16:39
It's about 20 years of maniacal buying, and about 15 years of selling. I've slowed down lately -- just too much trouble to sell.

Oh my days Cazalea!

 
By: DylanJ : February 9th, 2022-17:20
That’s is some impressive history/ collection. Bravo!

Fun list

Mike, there is no question, you are a real watch collector. I would think you displayed the watches of your watch store. From a Timex to Audemars Piguet is a strong fact. My Roamer to my Omega is a gap too. Both are equal in joy. I post my list. Casio Sei...  

Surprises and memories

 
By: LiftAngle51 : February 9th, 2022-18:28
Very interesting what you post. 4 rock solid luxury watches. On bracelet, and for me this is remarkable, you ignore like me chronographs. Your Heuers are for me the most i would consider. Put them on rubber or leather and it’s ok. I do not know if your He... 

Well....

my overall journey started around 12 when I got my first Swatch as a gift from my mom (documented here as well). Then I slowly but surely progressed to the likes of Seiko and Casio, and then my first 'high-end' timepiece was an Omega Speedmaster in its ba... 

Nice Journey!
