The finest of triumvirates

I think I've remarked on your collection before, or at least individual pieces. It's great to see them here and on other platforms.


We have different collecting strategies. I prefer a certain variety, and in order to make that happen I peg each purchase at a lower price point. Each addition grants then me a window into a particular corner of the watchmaking world and, one by one, I'm able to amass quite a lot of knowledge. There is some thematic coherence, though I don't allow structure to overwhelm experimentation. It's a balancing act and I like it that way.

Your approach represents the opposite and what I admire most is the clear aesthetic coherence that you've applied to date. I'd be interested to see if you continue in that vein but now that you've mentioned Bexei I'm guessing you're exploring something Baroque? In any event, thank you again for sharing, and best wishes.

But growing slowly! Now I need to figure out the direction of future growth. I think Bexei is climbing to the top of the list. Interestingly, the infinity sign figures into all three of my current pieces! ...  

extraordinary

Fun. Not common seen watches. And your infinite way remembers me that a Jaquet Droz probably is a good watch for u. 8. Tell me about Bexei. Never heard about it. It sounds Chinees, and the 8 is the Chinees lucky number.

A great collection sir!

Three great pieces and where to go from here really depends on what you are looking for or feel you are missing...

No!

I definitely don’t!

That's an incredible 3-watch collection!

I'm a huge fan of going with more obscure choices over the usual icons and brands, even within the independents. Lots of great stuff off the beaten-path when you know what to look for. I think the Bexei would be perfect as a 4th acquisition!

Thank you!!

One of the nicest straps I’ve ever worn. I had them make me another one too.

Love them all. And Bexei would be an incredible fourth to add to the group. We don't see his watches enough! Darren

If I decide on Bexei, it will be for one of his Art Deco inspired pieces.
