State of the Collection...
It is 10:10 here in Mississippi. This is what I feel like is my collection at the moment. Missing are some watches I am trying to sell or service. What do you think?

I like your penchant for distinctive watches.
Nice to see in a sea of sameness we often witness. Which one do you wear the most? The MIH? Cheers, John
I tend to rotate just about everything...
I am trying to notice what I do not wear so that it goes for sale (and new acquisitions). Thanks, John
My view at your collection
Variation. I see enough variation. Every price range. From cheap to small luxury. Not money is important, but enjoying watches in general. Not conservative. Fruity peaces.
Thanks Weems!
I will never be able to play in the big leagues, but it does not bother my collecting that much.
Everybody
What is important is every watch lover can share it’s watch hobby at WPS. Grow. This word is on it’s place. In my situation i use grow. More important are the watches. I chose on what i like, instead of a price tag. For example, i like the Baume and Merci...
The MIH is rather special...
I bought it to celebrate my promotion to full professor, so that one is a keeper!
Well done, sir.
I was told a few weeks ago, that they sold the last piece (Embassy). I even had a chat with Mr Gerber, who actually built those. Very cool piece.
Cool collections. Different from what one might usually see here or other forums.
What is the yellow rectangular one? I like that and seems like a fun summer time piece.
The yellow is an Ikepod Manatee...
The watch was designed by Marc Newson who later worked on the Apple watch. More than a family resemblance... ...
Very nice collection.
Certainly watches with a lot of character,far away from the usual mainstream!
You need a pure Silberstein, though the Regulator is darn close
I know he was involved. And of course you need an odd Seiko or two (contact me - I have too many!) Cazalea
Lots to like :)
Particularly struck by your LIP & MIH. Enjoy wearing them! Cheers JML
If not mistaken, the Titus . . .
. . . is a family heirloom. The rest with the exception of the Tudor could be housed in a Googie museum and be right at home. It's going to be hard to break them up, no? They really do belong together. Warmest, Art
Yes, that is true...
Googie is definitely a Southern California way to put it. Although I think I would have to go a bit wilder in my collecting to get to that point. Best, John
Amazing collection you have
Which timepiece is that blue one in the lower left hand corner, very intriguing to me. Thanks -Alan
Alan, that is a Lip watch....
it was manufactured in France in the early 70's with a Durowe automatic movement, aluminum case, and rubber strap. Designed by Roger Tallon, who was also the designer of the TGV train. ...
Very much trying to keep to that theme...
architects/designers watches. I appreciate you seeing coherance in the collection, Echi.
Those are some cool timepieces! I especially like the bottom row.
Can you tell us more about the blue and yellow watches on the bottom row? I always liked the MIH and the Junghans.
Patrick...
The blue is a Lip, made in France in the early 1970's with a Durowe movement designed by Roger Tallon, the designer of the TGV train... the yellow is an Ikepod Manatee, a worldtimer deisgned by Marc Newson, one of the collaborators on the Apple watch. ...
Very cool indeed!
That Ikepod strap, how it integrates into the case is very Apple Watch-esque! And thank you for sharing more photos about the Lip! Very cool timepieces!
