A small world it is...
Adi, are you talking about the Christie's auction held in NY last Wednesday?
Guess what? I was the second highest bidder, at $21k, which I placed as an absentee bid. I was actually flying on my way back from LA to HK and missed the opportunity to call in for a phone bid. I was quite devastated when I realized I lost as I couldn't be there to place my bid live.
Anyway, it is one hell of a watch, and despite my loss, I want to congratulate you and I am certain that it will bring you lots of joy.
By the way, if one day you decide to let go of it, shoot me a message. I may still be in the hunt for my Upside Down.
ludovic ballouard Upside Down Watch
Dear The Purist, I had the chance to bid on the upside down watch and I won the bid. I am really happy that i will get the watch maybe in 1 month time since i ask for the consolidated shipment to HongKong to avoid any taxes. What are your thought about th...
This is a great piece!
I have seen this watch in PT, RG, and WG, and I like all of the variants. The movement is very clever (and beautiful, in my view), and it is a fun complication as well. I think that it might take a bit of time to get used to reading the dial and seeing th...

Congrats!
Hallo Adi I believe you are one of the very 1st Indo to own it. Congrats on your bid! May i ask which version did you win on, the Pt? While i do not own it, i held one of the very 1st prototypes and i will say that it is a very unique watch, although not ...
Yes it the Platinum
Dear Blunotte, How are you? Yes i purchase the platinum series. I like this watch because of the unusual way of telling time. Cheers, Adi
It's whimsical...
As a former owner of the watch... I think it is whimsical... a very interesting complication, a super watchmaker who is a really nice guy. Wear it, enjoy it, and wish you all the best, OpC
i cant believe that such a great piece is coming up for auction already
i just cant believe that someone would spend the money required on what i consider to be a superb piece and then send it to auction so soon. it cant be any more than a year old if that. well done, i look forward to seeing pics of it. G
Congratulations!!!
Adi - You are a very lucky man. Please let us know how it feels on the wrist when you get it. Absolutely beautiful piece and I have to wonder if it will be your every day wearer. Cheers! - Scott
