Waooo! Samwan some superb pieces you have here....
Ludovic Ballouard, fancy, intriguing quite mesmerizing, really nice. The Moser, well have been in love with this PC for a while. Aaaahhhh! Laurent Ferrier and the micro-rotor, sublime! The Romain Gauthier is very interesting, the workmanship reminds me of Philippe Dufour, exquisite, not so sure about the crown on the back though. Harbring, as you say a daily beater although I would prefer to wear the MIH on a daily basis, I really like minimalism. Journe, I have heard too many "bad" things about his chronos, not sure about it, but it does look very nice and the mouvement too. Now Voutilainen, what an exquisite piece of horology, love this Observatoire, the mouvement is a marvel and the dial is to die for. Richard Mille, well, not my cup of tea I am affraid.
Thank you for the lovely pictures.
Cheers. Francois
Parade of lovely Indies
I have been hooked by watches made by independents for quite some time and started collecting them a few years back. Here are some of the latest additions: Ludovic Ballouard's Upside Down in platinum - The blue dial with applied indices is indeed mesmeriz...

Woooow..
samwam, your collection is to die for,i am speechless.... And ...those pictures...no wonder Ogygia is a pro. Amongst the best pics I ve ever seen. I have a soft spot for salmon dial lately,so,to me, the Kari is the winner..... Mo
You are right
Salmon dials are to die for.....Christie's recently auctioned a 5004 Salmon dial in Hong Kong and I was almost tempted..... Best Sam
Amazing pictures...

Wow ... the KV and the LF are my two favorites....
but the entire collection is something to behold. Both the timepieces and the photography are magnificent. Thanks for sharing these. Darren
Well Sam you really have a fantastic collection...
chosen with great taste and knowledge. I can find many of my own choices in this gathering. Thanks for sharing these very personal and beautiful pictures :) Cheers, Mark
Thx Mark abd everbody again for the nice words....
Like I said in my other post, I learned a lot from my friends in this forum :)
What we must not ignore, Sam...
...is the fact that your enviable collection represents much more than a personal quest. It is also (some would say primarily) a meaningful and material expression of support for the maintenance of the smaller producer who is upholding important tradition...
Very well said pplater, though I find
your compliments rather flattering :) Thank you for the kind words and encouragement. To a large extent, it is people like you and other friends on the forum that provide stimulation for the personal quest for the pinnacle of horology. Best Sam

What a tremendous collection of indies, Sam! Mouth-watering, to be sure -- especially as photographed by your friend Ogygia... All the best, Gary

Hi Sam! All of the watches you’ve introduced are fascinating and rich of character. I’d like to share with you my opinion on some of them. The Moser & Cie Perpetual 1 has drawn my attention some years ago, when I wanted to realize a sort of review of ...
hi Elio
Really appreciate your insightful comments, and the interesting drawing really Moser. Today I have it on my wrist.... because it is Feb 28, every watch nut's dream date. I can't stop fooling around with the date....forwards and backwards. What an ingeniou...
