Hi all, I rushed to the DHL office to pick up my Romaine Gauthier logical One today, I simply could not wait for the Monday delivery! I was not disappointed, maybe the first watch I’ve ever opened that caused a physical sensory reaction. Nothing like it, I’ve been hunting this watch for months and found it at the Collected Man in London, thanks Robert and Zsuzsa, I couldn’t be happier. Great service, fair deal and the watch is perfect.
I immediately took the Logical One to my local AD (CJ Charles in La Jolla) and I had everyone in the building ugguling over my watch . The watch maker Must have said “Oh My” 3-4 times as he looked at it under his loop. This watch only makes my love for Independants grow to a new level. It is clear how much love and passion RG put into his design and implementation or it. Everyone have a great weekend...Jim

I’m enjoying it and
Can’t take my eyes off of it, it has such 3D depth, like 6 levels deep...Jim
Having had the opportunity to examine a few of these I can appreciate your excitement. Just an amazing watch, loupe or no loupe.
I'm somewhat jealous that you have the wrist to pull this off, for me this watch is just a mm or two too large.
Hi Jay
Thanks for your kind words. My wrist is 6.75 inches and it fits great. Some would say the height at 14.2mm Is marginal but it is extremely well balanced overall but it is the only way to get the tremendous dept in the dial. Overall a very comfortable/bala...
So stoked for you!!!
And stoked for me you will be bringing it over to dinner tonight! Congrats to you and congrats to RG for creating IMO one of the most incredible timepieces of this decade.
Brandon, you were my
Inspiration to start thinking about independants, I remember you mentioned Roger Smith to me about two years ago, I was off and running on an obsessive journey. Much thanks my good friend...Jim
Hi Spangles

You're a lucky guy... Grail watches just changed like socks, LOL, from the 5170P to GL1 Lumen and now to this in such a short time...
and the 5976G is sitting on the side The RG is definitely a looker for sure, witnessed in SIHH. I can only drool...... Huge congratulations, any one of those dethroned grail is my grail, if you need someone to take care temporarily ...
:-) Hi Raymond, great shots!
yes I’m a fortunate person (don’t believe in luck). I’ve been accused of being a dog with a bone once I get my sightss on something. Recently the stars have lined up to get these watches, two of them in trades, so one has to jump when the opportunity pres...
That's a great strategy, which makes our hard earned money more enjoyable...I'm going to learning the "trade" too...
clean out my lower usage watches and start moving up. Thanks Jim....happy this works out great for you.

Making the right deal was the hard part but Robert from The Collected Man patiently worked with me to make it happen...Jim
That’s good to know...
I would be very tempted, thank goodness you pulled the trigger 😉
I would like to echo your watchmaker.
Oh my! Romain’s watches are build to perfection on so many levels. Amazing pieces. Congratulations and enjoy!
I’m not an expert
But I was told this fuse and chain is really a snail and chain, it is different than any other and does not interrupt the accuracy...Jim
What a great, wonderful, fascinating piece of art!
Many, many congrats and wear it in best health, Thomas
What a journey this one has been on!
This was my personal watch, which I sold to England, and now it has made its way all the way back to Southern California! Glad to see it found a good home. Enjoy it!
Hi Steve
Thank your for taking good care of your watch so it could become my watch in great condition! I think the RG likes the weather in San Diego better ...Jim
