Here you are, Mitch!

I have Roger Dubuis, below, and Peter Speake Marin that I have to look for in my office. Here it is, next to the printed one. I also asked the master to sign the "passport" of the watch. ...

No watchmakers - but Astronauts in the context of Speedmaster.......

....Buzz Aldrin (first Speedy on the moon), Ed White (first Speedy in EVA) and - missing here as I have no photo readily available - Wally Schirra (first Speey in orbit). Buzz Aldrin original signature Ed H. White original signature on original NASA Kodak...

Paul Gerber is a lovely gent from all I\'ve heard
A composite of a few watchmaker autographs in my possession
By: Bounce781 : August 25th, 2016-05:57
I must confess, collecting autographs of watchmakers is a bit of a hobby of mine (probably because it scratches "the itch" and I will likely never own their watches as they are out of my $$$ league). Here are some "reasonably rare ones" to add to the gall...
George Daniels autographs 1976 - 2009
By: Bounce781 : August 25th, 2016-06:12
In honour of Mitch's magnificent (and absolutely coveted by me) George Daniels autograph from 2011 (2 weeks before George passed away); here are a few more George's signature with dates. Budding graphologists - pls feel free to compare the great man's pen...
This is amazing

Great stuff mate. Would love to have a GD autograph in the collection.

No, never got to meet the great man.
By: Bounce781 : August 28th, 2016-15:23
But I became fascinated with George\'s work in about 2009 (roughly when I started getting seriously interested in horology). I was not bold enough to get in touch with him while he was alive (mainly because there was no way I could afford any of his piece...
This is going to take some searching

Here's a J-C BIver inscription inside of my Half-Hunter BlancpaiN I have several of Paul Gerber, and will start hunting! Mike ...
There is a good story
By: cazalea : September 5th, 2016-15:53
I was visiting Switzerland with a TimeZone tour 12 years ago, and we went to visit BlancpaiN. Of course, J-C was already out but he had a warm heart for BP. We were having dinner in a touristy swiss restaurant ... and Biver came in, breezed around the roo...
Thanks!

Good to know. I was actually eyeing it off!
Holy Molly, Tim

Yes, I am thrilled with that Rupert Gould signed item. Currently working through his Marine Chronometer masterwork. Amazing erudition in that volume
Another autographed item to add to the mix - a pretty special combo IMHO
By: Bounce781 : December 2nd, 2016-18:43
"Watchmaking" BOOK - signed by George Daniel AND Roger Smith together. Dated 1999, which would have been just when they were working on the Daniels Anniversary pieces design AND when the first Omega De Ville Limited Edition model was released with George\...
Thank you, sir! Means A LOT to get a "WOW" from THE Mitch K! ;-)
By: Bounce781 : December 2nd, 2016-23:57
I was very lucky to snag this one! According to Roger and Caroline (who were kind enough to answer my email) - this one is a true rarity or possibly even unique and there wouldn\'t be that many double-signed GD & RWS books out there at all. As you can pro...
You are a dangerous man!
By: Bounce781 : December 3rd, 2016-23:21
dangerous, I say! But if you are game, I may have 1 or 2 GD-related items you may find of interest. Cheers
