What fun to stop by my local watch emporium for a chat, a drink, and some glittering gold!

I LOVE THAT STRAP!
No, not all the watches were new. Here are a few oldies on offer
Peter Speake-Marin, of course.
From back when the watchmaker and the company were one
I remember seeing this Oh-So-Rare Ebel Perpetual with D-D module, just a few days ago on another post. Here it is in gold.
It was extremely heavy! There must be a lot of gold in the case and a lot of pieces in the movement
From a distance this Chronoswiss looks a bit like a Reverso, but it is not at all the same thing.
Now a look at the business end of the new Habring2 Perpetual
And finally a brand new to me - the Laine - an independent who's using the UNITAS 6498 as a base, creating new beautiful plates and dials - and coming up with a fine looking watch for $6k.
The dial is available in several bronze styles with Arabics, different markers with just numerals 12,3,6,9; blue dials with no numerals, etc.
I like this one a lot!

No, he did not offer me a beer
I had (for medicinal purposes only) a small splash of a more intense beverage ...
Phew...
Thought he had lost his English hosting skills. Great pieces, I saw the pics of the Habring the other day online, it certainly interests me, they do some great stuff and the prices are really good for what they do. Cheers Andrew
All amazing and Beautiful watches
The RG and Gronefeld are stunning and true grails but the PSM is def a surprise to see 👌🏻😘
Several wonderful pieces!
Which did you bring home with you? I personally have an very difficult time returning from a viewing such as that without something on my wrist. Last time I shared a drink with someone like that I ended up with this - ...
I Know That Place...
... It's like a candy store for people who are passionate about fine jewelry. See what I did there? And I agree with you - those indie watches sprung from a Unitas movement are worth a closer look. The dial work is superb and the finish on the back of the...
