I am actually quite happy and content with my current small collection but last year I decided to finally place an order for the Charles Frodsham Double Impulse watch. When I say 'finally', that is because I had first dropped by at the world's only Frodsh...
I ordered one and THIS, is my exit watch. I can safely say enough is enough. This is a special watch and will go down in the history pages. Best Gatsby
I think also the fact thtat this watch is likely to be the costliest watch in my collection would also warrant it to be my exit watch. There would be nothing left for anything else!
But as you say Stenning is a really cool fella. When one truly understands the provenance of their work and the historical significance of the watch I think departing with this much money would make sense lol. Also, in a time where aesthetics are overly s...
I will go for the steel model as I prefer a lighter watch. Saying that I have asked if the watch can be made in titanium, something Frodsham is currently exploring. I have ordered my watch without the cyphers (prizes awarded to Frodsham in the 19th centur...
One of the reasons I actually did not order the watch 4 years ago when I first tried it on was because the wait was only 9 months. I am a total loony and actually like the wait although I would have preffered it to be 3 to 4 years. But 5 is ok
For such a special and $ piece, it's nice to have some time to enjoy the process, I did the same with my last watch and passed on an available piece for a future allocation and really enjoyed that extra time. My next watch is scheduled for 2025 build and ...
The watch sits very well on your wrist. What wrist size are you? Iโm slated for late 2023 and hope they can fulfill it on time. Iโm set on the 22k YG case, but canโt decide on Roman or Arabic indices. Given itโll be more dressy for me, Iโm leaning on the ...
with a steel case and no cyphers. Ok, with a dark blue strap which will contrast well aginst the blue numerals. I have no idea actually what my wrist size is. I will let you know when I get back to Malaysia next week.
The watch looks like it is made for your wrist I know you prefer smaller watches, but somehow with the shorter lugs the Frodsham team has made it very wearable and elegant. It is a very long wait even for the most patient of us, but it will certainly be w...
The fact that you have ordered two is further assuarnce for me that I am in the right company and have chosen well! 42.2mm has seldom looked better on my wrist, and as you say, it is all about the lugs.
Before it is 2027, it comes faster than you think. In my case i go faster than expected with collecting. My exit watch is almost there, but i wait till the AD contact me. But should it my exit watch? My last grail, grail watch 2. Yesterday i wrote about t...
Also ordered mine last year (around summer) after thinking and dreaming about this watch for too many years. and agree as well, have no problem with waiting time of 8 years.
The wait will be worth it! But an 'exit watch'? C'mon, we love you and all yet if i was a betting man.... By 2027 Max B & Friends will surely produce something you desire.
Max B and friends is unlikely to produce a watch to win me over. For a start Max himself gave me the daily tolerance and the daily deviation was too great for such a finely finished timepiece. Secondly as much as I love the legacy machines, I have owned a...
And that works out perfectly actually because if every enthusiast was happy to wait 6,8 or 10 years for a watch, the waiting lists would be hyper long!
I think you'll love it! I'm moving to the exit as well. I think the key is that I can appreciate watches that I see and enjoy them while feeling I have enough in my own collection. I put an order in for a custom dial Pascal Coyon and I think that'll be it...
- like buying other watches or actually doing something entirely different! Congratulations on the Voutilainen - one of my favourite brands that I do not own!
