Just some of the highlights of 2019 (both incoming and outgoing pieces).

What a crazy fun year 2019 has been on the horology front!
Have been fortunate to handle and own pieces from some of the most incredibly talented independent watchmakers!
I am very humbled by their talent and dedication.

I really feel like my collecting has matured and become more focused this year! Next year - hopefully will consolidate some more.

Happy New Year to all!

That is a wonderful lineup for the year! You are certainly flirting with the virtues of classic horology.

I love how you have found โ€œyour thingโ€. That is very rewarding and takes a lot of work (trial and errors + study + travel) Something we should all strive for in our own way, although it is probably also a moving target. I just learned about Laine. I need ... 

Just saw a few Laines in the metal a week ago . . .

. . . and impressed by their finishing. They may well be a highlight of your New Year, Christian. ;-)

Cheers!

Laine pieces are indeed gorgeous

A reliable secondary indicator of finish quality . . .

. . . can be gleaned by Tim Jackson's portfolio. If he's representing a manufacturer, you can bet the house it's quality. ...  

Very true!

I got to meet Tim in person this year in London! Great guy with encyclopaedic knowledge of the indies.

Is TJ located in UK or US?

 
 By: ChristianDK : December 29th, 2019-13:19
I think he is British?

Thank you ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ˜Š [nt]

 
 By: ChristianDK : December 29th, 2019-13:43

I thought Tim was originally from South Africa . . .

 
 By: Dr No : December 29th, 2019-14:37
. . . but you may well be right, Bounce. Art

Zimbabwe? Or, as I'm still bound to say, . . .

 
 By: Dr No : December 29th, 2019-14:43
. . . Rhodesia? Force of habit, Rhodesia ;-) . . .

England, maybe? ;) [nt]

Oh I donโ€™t know.

He might be a secret agent! Nameโ€™s Jackson. Tim Jackson ๐Ÿ˜€

Just browsing his website and IG

This seems very catchy. Does anyone know what price range we are in? The one with the big moon is probably my favorite so far. Still lots to discover. I will have to brush up my Finnish ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ฎ

Thanks Christian!

Yes, itโ€™s all about the journey!

Spectacular collection.

Happy holidays

Oh yes of course!

 
 By: Bounce781 : December 29th, 2019-03:03
How could I forgot to mention Torsti LAINE 1817 Cheers

Those are some pretty fine highlights.

 
 By: Jay (Eire) : December 29th, 2019-10:48
Letโ€™s put you on the spot a little; if you had to pick one highlight what would it be?

Ohh thatโ€™s tough.

 
 By: Bounce781 : December 29th, 2019-13:12
Probably Pascal Coyon - but thatโ€™s just this minute. If you ask me in a few minutes - I would probably change my mind. These are all gorgeous

What a great collection!

 
 By: jleno : December 29th, 2019-21:31
A perfect showcase of the amazing pieces that can be found when one is willing to go a bit "off the map" to look for them!

Thank you, jleno!

 
 By: Bounce781 : December 29th, 2019-23:42
Yes - no Daytona or nautilus here ๐Ÿ˜€ Actually, I havenโ€™t owned a Rolex Or a Patek yet ๐Ÿ˜€

What a mesmerizing collection...

 
 By: MTR : December 30th, 2019-01:51
I say it again: I love it when someone knows what he wants, has his own taste and and acts/collects beside the well-trodden paths. Aesthetic and technology at its best! Many congrats Thomas

Ohh Iโ€™m blushing here!

 
 By: Bounce781 : December 30th, 2019-01:57
๐Ÿ˜€ But thank you ๐Ÿ‘

My pleasure.

 
 By: MTR : December 30th, 2019-02:02
And just what I think. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Thanks, Thomas!

It must be difficult to choose one only every day!

Thanks, Mike!

 
 By: Bounce781 : December 30th, 2019-15:02
Yes can be! ๐Ÿ˜€ I do feel blessed and spoilt for choice indeed. Happy new year

The same to you my friend, a few hours ahead of the timing I also wish you a terrific 2020
