Greetings to all! I've just posted this one over on WristScan as part of the "four corners" weekly theme, but thought folks here might enjoy it as well: Once a JLC guy, always a JLC guy! All the best, Gary G...  

Bravo. Should I say that I don't see how I can disagree with you? ;) Best, Nicolas

I do love those Reversos! Best, Gary

Nice composition That minute repeater is lovely Cheers, John

...also sounds good -- really super, actually, when one considers the limitations of small space and rectangular shape. I was fortunate to get it! Thanks for commenting! Best, Gary

I see that shooting is still one of your hobbies! Complicated and simpler Reversos together is a great setup It is nice to see you here. Cheers, Mark

Thanks for your note, Mark. I continue to work on my technique -- this photo is actually the first of a set that I am shooting for my current assignment with Ming Thein, in which we are starting to introduce the use of props to the mix. Best, Gary

Admiring your photo with envy!

The great thing is that these are all very wearable watches -- no concerns at all about taking them to a business meeting, including the Repetition Minutes... Best, Gary

thanks for sharing this totally awesome collection of squares and rectangles. Cheers!

The repeater is really cool, I have to admit -- I was lucky that a friend advertised it for sale and I grabbed it... Best, Gary

For once the set-up was actually pretty quick -- a good thing, as I didn't have a lot of time available :) Best, Gary
