I find your approach remarkable.
I also read your previous post.
And I admire how you have pared it down to your real grail watches.
Years ago I also got to radically part with everything that made me feel lukewarm and narrowed my collection down to what I love and want to wear regularly. But my small collection has started to grow again….
I really like your “watch collecting strategy”. And your selection is definitely off the beaten track.
I agree with you that GP is completely underrated.
A Tourbillon Three Bridges would be an absolutely dream watch of mine, too. I already have 2-3 references in focus and I'm really looking forward to visiting the manufactory at the beginning of April.
Your Esmeralda is the queen, the crowning glory. I see it now for the first time on a wrist and not only on studio-marketing-pictures.
This watch is incredibly beautiful. A stunning work of art for the wrist.
Congratulations on this great choice. A watch for life.

Obviously we think/feel the same, Tony.
As ppatti99 impressively demonstrates: less is more! And if the few remaining pieces are on a significantly higher level - what more could you ask for?
Breathtaking! Congrats!
That is GP at its absolute best! Hope they will survive, they just have to...
This watch is a masterclass in finishing
Honestly seeing it in the video is breathtaking so I wanted to share.

I've been collecting for 25 years and this mesmerizing to look at especially in the sunlight.

Reviewed it for me and said it was side by side with Gruebel Forsey & Philippe Dufour regarding absolute astonishing craftsmanship. The hand finishing goes on and on.
