Horological Meandering

As two other brands play a role in this little story, I deliberately decided not to place this thread in the Patek Philippe forum. My AD lured me into his boutique under all sorts of pretexts. “You love technically exciting watches with a certain aestheti...  

I got a feeling how this story is going to end. happy ending

there's still a chance you're wrong. 🙏

There's a quote of Oscar Wilde which may apply here - "The only way to beat temptation is to yield to it!" Exclamation point is mine. 😂 Happy 60th!

… if this quote is actually helpful? Your exclamation mark is very creative! 😂 Likewise, all the best for your 70th. My 60th is still some time away. That’s exactly what makes the whole thing so dangerous. The question is whether I can really resist for m... 

It can get us into trouble. So, what I do when I get really excited about a piece is to go back a couple of times to see if I have the same reaction. If no, done. If yes, I most likely will have to send my checkbook to the hospital. Keep us posted! In any... 

At the moment I’m actually very happy simply enjoying the watches I already have. And when I look at what has joined the collection over the last 12 months… maybe a little pause would not be the worst idea. There is also one project still on the way, so I... 

I have tried on this incredible watch last December and was planning to do a post on this try-on experience someday. And I have to agree with you that it is very difficult to resist its unique baroque charm... Best, Emmanuel ...  

great thread about this watch from today. On the photos it looks more opulent than in reality. Ok, it’s not a „silent“ piece. But I can imagine to wear a piece like that on a regular basis. Thank you for your nice comment, Emmanuel ☺️🙏

this watch, although not “silent”, isn’t “loud”: it is extremely refined and I could see myself wearing it fairly often (but probably not everyday, even though I wear almost only dress watches). Every watch has to be seen in person to get a full sense of ... 

I now try to treat visits to the A.D. the same way when I sit down to dinner. I know if I take my time I will eat less and feel better. And if I wait a little bit, the feeling of hunger will quickly pass. Regardless, it is an exceptional reference and one... 

Resisting temptation at my AD sometimes feels like sitting in front of a wonderful dessert and telling yourself: Maybe later. Or never. 😎“ It’s not soooo difficult. These days I try to enjoy what I already have. Fortunately there is plenty to enjoy. There... 

I already posted the first picture today. More will follow. Strict field testing of a special watch and Italian food has officially begun. After all, if we follow Patek‘s idea of keeping watches for the next generation, we have already stated that we firs... 

And if (when?) you do succumb to this urge, enjoy the feeling with all you’ve got 😁

At least for the moment.

Oeffff thats one dream watch for me . I love engraved watches for some reasons and this one tops the all . Good luck resisting this beauty but i guess you loose anyway 🫣. Please keep us updated 😉🙏🏻

At the moment I don’t know where this journey will end. I never had an engraved watch on my radar. It always seemed too „opulent“ to me. But in reality (= on my wrist) it worked in an excellent way. 🙏

So this could be really an eye catcher in a business meeting. LOLLLL
