Independents

…could be my last watch for quite some time. Here’s a few pics of the Signature 1, which I had the pleasure of acquiring recently. I think the watch has been shared previously by some WPS members so no new introduction is required. The appeal of the S1, a...  

Lovely addition to your collection. I can see why you'd want to take a break and have time to absorb this marvel!

...she was lovely too : )

That is a tremendous piece!

I’ve made serious inquiries about SS versions of this limited run on many an occasion, but just lacked the courage to take the plunge. Truly remarkable pieces, and one of the most timeless GF offerings

If you ever change your mind there is another one of the series of 11 for sale.

I like books, too!

I will certainly comment further on this piece as I get more familiar with it.

...as well as the low-key strap...

I do love the hands, and I also very much like the simplicity of the case. The strap was a throw in from the auction house, this one will go in due course.

I loved following along your journey and it's amazing to see the successful result of your search. It seems like it was meant to be, the right watch found you. 😉 Hope this is just the beginning of a long and rewarding experience! I just got a new dark gra...  

You really pushed me over the cliff, and I’m very grateful for that! I love that red stich on your strap! Beautiful idea. You could have done the 11th as well. Still unsure on what kind of strap I should go for. Maybe a dark brown and a dark grey one. We ... 

Oooo, that's a great idea, next strap! It's funny, I recently visited a new GF AD and noted the loss of individual numbering on the watches, the sports watches are all "1 of XX" instead of individual numbering, and the sales manager who was just trained b... 

And I agree with you, it seems GF is lowering some of their ambitions a bit under Calce. Let's see how this will play out over the coming years. They still have the capacity to surprise us big time! By the way, could you do this strap at GF, or is it an O... 

A very strong appearance…

Huge congrats on getting this masterpiece. Enjoy the beauty.

I’ve never seen a GF in person. Looks like a dream.

I hope you do get a chance to see one of these in the flesh.

On a grail achieved! And what a piece it is 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

And continue enjoying it 👏🏻🙌🏻👌🏻

I still love these older versions a lot . Not the biggest fan of there new lineup tbh

I jumped on the chance to get the S1 for this reason. Many of their previous watches were simply too chunky for my wrist (and esthetic preferences) and there actual collection leves me a bit cold. I will have to see them in the metal though to form a real... 

Hahahaha. A watch lover will be blown away when he sees you with this watch on your wrist… Cheers Thomas

There's not that many nuts like us that recognize or appreciate a niche high-end watch.

…you read more and more in the media that thieves and robbers also "continue their education".

Perhaps a long way of education until they find out about your marvel.

A masterpiece and at the top of the pyramid... You can really be proud and VERY happy to call such a marvel your own. Heartfelt congratulations!

The (relatively) modest case size make it a perfect fit for me, and I love the simplicity of it. Plus the fact that it's stainless steel, which makes it pretty unique in this segment.
