Many thanks to Tim Jackson for introducing Romain Gauthier to me. Tim is THE MAN!

Indeed

Talk about a couple of ultimate grail pieces!

Kind of you to mention this, I'm glad you were able to get one of the 20 platinum pieces!

 
 By: Tim Jackson : April 14th, 2021-12:58
Great that were able to pickup the #7 in WG too! Enjoy these remarkable pieces of micro-mechanical horological art my good man. They deserve good homes ;-) Cheers, Tim

Tim Is The Best...

... If not for Mr. Jackson, I probably wouldn't know anything about the Independents. Now about those stunning Logical Ones... Oofah, Ed. Absolutely beautiful. Cheers!

Did I hear someone talking about my bicycle chain? :)

Two great pieces!!

Thanks mj!

Superb, outstanding, magnificent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TOHNEEEEEEEE! Thanks. Hope you’re in Heaven over your new toy!

 
 By: edtonkin : April 14th, 2021-11:43

Grazie mille amigo mio

 
 By: aperna : April 14th, 2021-15:49

Wow! Thanks f-r sharing Ed. I was always curious to know if you can actually see the fusee chain move over time if it move too slow to notice...nonetheless that’s a wonderful complication

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : April 13th, 2021-16:43

That’s a great question and I have never really looked. I will now. Thanks for the nice comments.

 
 By: edtonkin : April 14th, 2021-11:44

You can’t really tell with naked eye.

 
 By: mj23 : April 14th, 2021-13:18
I made some time lapse video which shows its motion overtime.

Ok thanks for thé comment!

My good god these are just drop dead gorgeous

I actually ordered a new sports model that RG is working on and will announce in the summer He is a great guy and a genius

He really is such a nice man. I agree. I am excited to see your new sports model. I have no idea what it is but knowing RG it’ll be amazing.

 
 By: edtonkin : April 14th, 2021-11:45

Congrats! Grail pieces for all of us I am sure.

 
 By: NautNut : April 13th, 2021-17:21

Many thanks!

 
 By: edtonkin : April 14th, 2021-11:45

What a terrific duo -- your collection will never cease to amaze! ;-)

 
 By: FabR : April 13th, 2021-17:22

If only I had your style, Fab!!!!!

 
 By: edtonkin : April 13th, 2021-17:43

🙏😉❤️

 
 By: FabR : April 13th, 2021-17:51

I think you should put together a photo shoot of all your “looks” and teach us all how to dress! Maybe even a forum for you?!!!

 
 By: edtonkin : April 14th, 2021-11:46

I think a dedicated forum is undeniably a good idea..😂😂🙏🙏😉

AGREED!!!

Incredible. It seems 2 bike chains are better than 1!

 
 By: MichaelC : April 13th, 2021-17:58

I think not better. Just two different chains. :) The great thing about this community is that no one’s got a watch that’s better than anyone else’s. We all get to appreciate each other’s beautiful timepieces. But I know that’s not what you meant :)

 
 By: edtonkin : April 13th, 2021-18:09

Full agreement my Friend :-)

 
 By: MichaelC : April 13th, 2021-19:36

100%, Ed.

 
 By: matto1 : April 13th, 2021-21:09

And thank you, Michael, for all your contributions that really add to this site. I, and I’m sure many, appreciate you.

 
 By: edtonkin : April 13th, 2021-18:11

It is my pleasure.

 
 By: MichaelC : April 13th, 2021-19:39

Just WOW.

 
 By: ChristianDK : April 13th, 2021-20:57
What a duo, Ed! Cant help thinking what a treasure you are to our community. Your collection is world class and you are so generous and kind. It’s truly a pleasure to know you and have you here.

That is such a nice thing to say but I am the one who is honored to be able to participate here. I get so much out of this forum and learn so much. The NUMBER ONE thing I enjoy is making friends. So many wonderful people here. All of you are treasures!

 
 By: edtonkin : April 14th, 2021-11:48

Off the chain : )

I Love The Fact That...

I’ll bite :)

 
 By: doubleup : April 13th, 2021-19:35

Ouch, I'm such a good boy that I had to google this one!! ;-)

 
 By: FabR : April 13th, 2021-19:53

Nice catch. Right around the corner. Medicine for the people!

 
 By: matto1 : April 13th, 2021-21:11

I Love My...

 
 By: elliot55 : April 14th, 2021-09:29
... Local shop

Now THAT’S funny! I had no idea. I’m innocent . . . I don’t partake of the herb and yet it is legal here in Oregon.

 
 By: edtonkin : April 14th, 2021-11:49

Wow... not one, but two great pieces! Very nice ! And a logical choice(s)

 
 By: doubleup : April 13th, 2021-19:36

Thanks my friend!

I thought it was mix not match day. Oops

 
 By: Watch_time_it_is : April 13th, 2021-22:56
I match one, not the other. ...  

Two grails and masterpieces my friend.

 
 By: Watchonthewrists : April 14th, 2021-00:29
Absolutely stunning

Ok there’s some real fireworks! Wow! Nicely done!

 
 By: edtonkin : April 14th, 2021-11:50

Now you have the two bicycle wheels and the chains. ;) Wow, my friend, you will never cease to impress me with your collection.

 
 By: amanico : April 13th, 2021-23:20

Two masterpieces.

 
 By: Watchonthewrists : April 14th, 2021-00:28

These are 2 grail pieces, what a collection you have !

Thanks Mike. With everyone here and all they share and which we get to see it’s quite a community collection, yes??

 
 By: edtonkin : April 14th, 2021-11:50

Amazing Ed. Thanks for sharing.

 
 By: Jay (Eire) : April 14th, 2021-05:36
This is one of my favourite watches, and own something from RG is a longer term goal for me. I love the pair you selected.

I appreciate it Jay. Hope you’re well!

 
 By: edtonkin : April 14th, 2021-11:51

GRAIL alert Ed 📢😍😳🔥 That is what I call double trouble. Just sensational 👏
