I was back in 2008 no watch collector. But always sideways interested in watches like the same with audio equipment and toy cars.
Back arround 2008, i look for the first time high luxury watches like Rolex and Panerai. I discouver Longines, and my taste grow to Longines. They have a sense of cultural chique and classy timeless approuche. I like the index design and how hands where sculped. Like a sculptor made a bust.
I want to buy a Panerai radiomir Ferrari edition. At some time i would forget those watches. I picked it up at 2018, when i bought my very first automatic watch. In the same year i bought another automatic watch, and i think this started a watch virus. Bought me a loupe, and discouver how the movement gears move, the ballance swings, see adjustment screws, spring. Magic!
All without the power of a battery, just the moves of the wrist or winding the watch with the crown. Eco, forever, craftmenship, and the joy of a jewerly peace.
So, watches are just awsome (mechanical), and for me it is no problem to invest in premium watches. But there are borders, so i wil keep it between lines. Average price €2300.
Much pleasure with your Omega moonwatch. I like that Apollo11 hands.
