This pocket watch
Which I got from my grandfather some 20 years ago. .... when I started going
to high school ...
This is the watch that made me watch crazy when I was only 5 to 6 years old. ...
..... my grandfather used to wind it every morning and put it on my ear to hear it
ticking before leaving to school .....
This watch also was carried for over 25 years with my grandfather to the work
As he was locomotive driver this watch made quite a mileage in his pocket
Once we calculated that it made one and half time to moon and back ......
This is THE ONE for me ... sentiment + memories + love + passion

Aaah, Respo
Let's say that we were some to discuss a lot with JLC for a re edition of THE Polaris... And JLC said OK.... So, now I consider it a bit like my Baby! BTW, this is not the Platinum Polaris, but the Boutique Edition, only available at the Paris boutique......
The one that I sold -
My grandfather left me a Patek and Movado Moon Phase. The Patek was a gift to him from my grandmother on their honeymoon to Europe in the early 1930's. When I received it (early 1980's) I was in my late teens and heading to college. Being from a family th...
Another pocket watch
Hi Bruno, Thanks for asking this question of us. As with many others who have posted, my most important watch was the one passed down within the family and the one that started my interest in horology. It was my originally my Great Grandfathers and is a r...
Watches grow with me....
Hi Bruno, Its me again.After the Zenith el-primero,after i browse my collection of watches,i settled with this piece in my memories that are accountable as "Important watch". From time to time,i like to buy watch for a specific reason,to mark some special...
