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

State of the Collection...
By: jporos : June 27th, 2020-08:27
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? ...
My view at your collection
By: Weems@8 : June 27th, 2020-08:37
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.
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!
Thanks jlux!

I tend to run away from the mainstream as fast as I can!
Thanks Brauner!

I do like some vivid color in a watch...
Like this one perhaps?

It could fit right into your collection. Cazalea ...
Thanks Ron!

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

Which timepiece is that blue one in the lower left hand corner, very intriguing to me. Thanks -Alan
Alan, that is a Lip watch....
By: jporos : June 27th, 2020-15:43
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 cool indeed!
By: patrick_y : June 28th, 2020-09:54
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!
I admire it!!
