Jaeger-LeCoultre

Welcome on the bright side!

 

You Speak to me well how you analysed the situation of a lonesome watch addicted soul!
And you have absolutely the found the right place to Breathe in the air of passion, knowledge and friendship.
Glad you chose not to be On the run any more but to surface and join in the great company here.
Yes, good watches have a soul as Time does; and time deserves to be measured in the most precious and elaborated way that we can afford.
Of course it depends on each single person to decide what that might mean in his/her case, even if Money is by deliberate choice not a topic here in out forum.
Most people around me do not understand about our passion either, so I understand perfectly your feeling that there somehow always Us and them.
So welcome again here at PuristS; so much shared knowledge, so many different characters and preferences, the passion takes Any colour you like here, so it is a wonderful place to be at.
It is this certain And Brain damage that unifies us; isn't it great to be bitten by that bug?
I am confident that I am speaking for all of us telling you that we are all happy you stepped out of the Eclipse and joined us here on the bright side (site)!





Best,
Martin

Oops, looks like I missed something.....

To have a look on your pictures makes me feel sad to not have been able to come and join the Party. It is always a pleasure to see Marie who I met at the SIHH recently, Simon, and some of the Collectors I see in your pictures ( the " Lord " with the Gyro ...

I am rather new to watch collecting, and posting on forums. I look at watches such as are shown in the pictures, as well as my much less sophisticated Master Moon and feel that the human race can do beautiful things when it wants to. I am amazed at the be... 

Welcome ...

"My friends think there is something wrong with me ..." ... and they are probably correct. But you have come to the right place for support and counselling! Anyone who thinks that a watch has a soul is welcome here. Look forward to seeing your Master Moon... 

Welcome here!

Don't be afra&id, we are all nuts when it comes to watches... You got it perfectly, there is something magic, with watches, difficult to put in words, something in relation with Art, Poetry, Micromecanics, Alchimy... You see? We are all nuts! Best, Nicola...

... of course, I am unhappy to have missed yet another of these great events. Curses! I realize that my all too frequent bouts of jealousy, directed at the resident JLC fans of Beverly Hills, London and Paris grow tiresome, but really you guys drive me cr...

Thanks for the coverage, Andrew!

I'd really like to see the Celestial piece in person. The blue enameling (I think it's enamel. Correct me if I'm wrong.) is gorgeous. I'm with you on the Extreme Lab 2. It's such an interesting and bold piece. Thanks so much for the write-up and pictures!... 

Thanks to everyone for their kind words and sorry not to reply individually
