Horological Meandering

Yes, it's been a while, but I do need to work for a living to afford watches! One of the members of our NorCal Gang took delivery this week of the Journe Anniversary Tourbillon, otherwise known as the T30. To celebrate, two of us met up for a Journe-theme...  

Impressive collection for both of you. Nice to see you take time out of your busy work schedule for a bit of watch enjoyment :)

Most of the "power" was supplied by my good friend and his outstanding collection, but it was delightful to see him and share watches. Thanks for your note! Best, Gary

...pretty good, I have to admit! Thanks for your note -- always great to hear from you. Best, Gary

I have no delusions about how lucky I really am to have access to these great pieces and of course the wonderful friendships I've formed through this great hobby! Best, Gary

...to keep the food away from the watches, and to remember to eat the food! Best, Gary

and it must have been fun to compare your new acquisition with the other watches. The strap on the Anniversary Tourbillon is also a nice touch! Thanks for showing best Andreas

Fun for me to see these pieces together -- and great to have as much time as I wanted with each watch as there were only two of us :-) Best, Gary

Great piece of Journe!! Best, Horo

...but lazy must not be among them! You get more done in less time (and I know that you also invest the extra hours and late nights) than just about anyone I know. Looking forward to your next incoming(s) and shots of existing pieces! Best, Gary
