Thanks for the infos Tahoeblue

Greetings! For this post, I have dispensed with my usual "So seven guys go into a restaurant..." title, even though that is exactly what happened here. This meeting really was all about the people, even though some watches were on display (photos below) -...
I am hopeful

...that no such program exists! I did re-save the image so it's certainly not as simple as going into Photoshop and hitting "undo" a few times :-). Patiently waiting for the master to finish his work... Best, Gary
What eye candy!

All of the pieces you photographed are spectacular, but I find the Masterpiece Chronograph to be most haunting of them all... ...although, I might just be tempted to choose the mystery watch. Don't leave us in suspense for too long! Thanks for the great w...
Thanks for chiming in, lw!

Great to have new folks participate in these threads -- welcome. I do wonder how many folks would choose the mystery watch, sight unseen, given their choice of any of the pieces in the post! I do agree with you that the Masterpiece Chrono is a lovely piec...
Me too!

That is, to seeing my example -- the one on view was a not quite completed version but still gave an excellent sense of what the finished piece will be like. Tough waiting out the final days! Best, Gary

That Masterpiece Chronograph is a tour de force. Rare to see an in-house chrono by an independent (Patek did not even have one until a couple years ago), and this could be the best in that elite category. When you sees all the watches (his own "brand" and...
Thanks, tahoeblue

Glad you liked the FPJ shot -- it actually looks better on my monitor (that is, before uploading compression). That's not an easy watch to capture -- I still have not really grabbed the look of the gold dial to my liking at any of our various lunches, and...
Yep, that's me, John

What can I say? I'd love to post all sorts of photos of intermediate production steps, Photoshop mockups, movement schematics, etc. but have taken a solemn pledge not to do so until the watch has been released. Should not be too long, though! Best, Gary
One in the oven for sure...

Horo -- I do indeed have this watch on order, as do a few friends :-). It has been a long wait -- I have to agree with you that I would be happier if Kari devoted his attention to his own pieces (including mine :-)) first, and his collaborations second! W...
