Horological Meandering

And I only brought two watches, one of which didn't even appear in any of the pictures

Best,

Gary

Even with the sad fact that there are only 10 Pisa Datos.

Thanks Gary!

...made even sadder by the fact that I recently passed on the opportunity to buy a Pisa -- which would have put 20 percent of the world supply at our lunch table.

Oh well -- can't own everything!  And I'm very happy indeed with my RG example.

great post. What a wonderful group of guys and chronos.

And perhaps my biggest honor yet in horology--being named your favorite wrist model!

I live in SF.

There is a pretty good set of watch events in the SF area, and the best thing to do is to start coming to some of the WIS events in the area.  Once you get to know some of the folks, I'm sure that other invitations will follow...

Gary

...but however it is that you hold your wrist, it seems that the watches always end up in focus and without glare on the crystals!

It also helps that you dress nicely and that whatever shirt you are wearing is crisp and with a clean looking cuff -- meanwhile, I always seem to pick the wrong shirt/sweater, the cleaner was out of starch the day I sent my shirt in, etc.

And, of course, you have the additional benefit of keeping your watches in the Man Bag...

chrnons are arguably the most interactive watch, short of a repeater. and this gathering is just so hororgasmic to me, being a chrono lover.

didnt even know DB has/had a chrono in their line up....thats the piece that captures my attention most, and of course the DS....what did they say about the DS..."those who are sick of the double split, are sick of life"?

thks for another horologically moving post

best, Horo

"Those who are sick of the Double Split, are sick of life..."

Indeed!

That DB piece was a revelation to me as well.  It is number 2, and comes (obviously) from the very early days of DB.  The true story is that the central guilloche on that watch factored into discussions that the owner of the DB piece had with Kari, and ultimately influenced the design of the dial on Kari's Masterpiece 8, and then the production series of the Observatoire.

Thanks for your note!

Thats not fair Gary,

thank you for sharing all beautiful watches in one table,

especially the DS really hitting on me.

...and have also worked very hard, to be able to buy these wonderful pieces!  The best fortune for me has been to meet these great guys through our hobby.

As a chrono fanatic, this is my post of the month! The range of pieces and the high level of quality is amazing. Thanks again for sharing.

Thanks for your comment -- motivates me to keep trying with these posts!

Best,

Gary

Your posts are always fun to read! The pics are great, you are very hard on yourself my friend. The watches are to die for! I cant wait until I reach your level. Thanks for sharing.

You are making me mad.  There are some incredible pieces there.  Dato is a firm favourite of mine and now that you have reminded me of the GO, I gotta look into this again

before, but never all at the same time.

The chef of the restaurant must have been very jealous, because of "no" attention for the food

Gary, we are all very happy/lucky that you got your Dato, because now we can enjoy your beauty
and gorgeous comepetitors on your pictures.

Thanks a lot for sharing, pictures & passion!

The GTG must have been a fantastic experience.

Thanks Gary for taking the time to show us.

Some of the most beautiful movements in the world.

 

Thanks for sharing.

By the way, do you have any photo of the solid back case for PISA Datograph? I've seen this watch before, but the owner had changed the solid case back to the display case back.

Some awesome watches all in one place at the same time! Drooling!

What a great article. I trust that the meal was good, too. Thank you for sharing

Things have changed, especially regarding that double split over the years...
