Hello all!
Dear all, We are Horology Ancienne (or HA); a father and son watch collecting duo. We have been lurking on here for an exceptionally long time. Checking WPS pretty much everyday. The passion in this forum is incredible as is the knowledge shared. It is a ...
Thank you so very much for your kind words!
Pleasure to be amongst wonderful company buddy
Welcome! Iām glad you have finally become an active contributor on WPS sharing your collection and knowledge with us.
This 5970 is simply spectacular. Best, V.
Welcome here š¤
Great first post , thats one gorgeous PP with my fav dial color. Looking forward to see your next posts
What a great pleasure to see you here too.
Your great taste, knowledge and passion of horology will absolutely bring an exciting breath here. And what a start with one of the best 5970's. Cheers. Kerem.
Thank you so very much for the warm welcome!
Very deeply appreciated! Looking forward to being more involved over here
A warm welcome to our great forum, gentlemen! Really glad in the end you decided to join!š Even though Iām not on IG (WPS is my only social media! ;-), Iām already aware of your impressive contributions ā and of course, your top Patek collection! ;-)
I can see you already have a large number of followers and friends on this forum, so Iām sure you will quickly feel at home!š Hope youāll be able to become regular contributors, with your outstanding knowledge of the subject, your opinions, and of course....
Thank you ever so much for the lovely welcome. It certainly means a great deal to us.
I am very familiar with yours posts and must say we share a burning passion for enamel.
Iāve been following the IG account for a while and it is, as all that have come across it will testify, one of these best watch resources on the platform.
Selfishly Iām looking forward to more in depth interactions here in large part because being familiar with the contributors on this platform for a long time will give those comments some additional context. I think itās much harder to understand where peo...
I canāt thank you enough for the wonderful welcome.
Instagram will never be as focused as WPS. Your remarks on giving better context to comments is one of the strengths of this forum. Iām sure the dialogue that will be held (as ever) will be extremely insightful. As for the yachtmaster haha, the watch that...
Having you here is like having Lebron, Brady, Messi in your team...
A warm welcome... can't wait for IG quality posts here on WPS...
That 5970 with very special dial is an impressive way to make an entrance.š¤©š Wow!
I look forward to seeing more of your collection and reading your thoughtful comments.
Thank you so much!!!
It was only right that my first post on here should be one of my favourite watches! Cheers for the warm welcome
Welcome to our community!
I look forward to sharing our experiences in the world of watches. All the best, Tim
Hello
Welcome, I have been enjoying your collection on IG and learning a lot from you! Best regards
Wow, what a way to jump in. Sadly I don't follow Instagram or any sort of social media so I am not very knowledgeable to your posts there but from Gordon's previous posts and what other members have stated, I am looking forward to many more of your post
Thank you so much for joining our great community and I hope to see both of you posting frequently ššš. One last thing, that 5970 is breathtakingly gorgeous š š„
Thank you dearly for the very warm welcome.
For a long time I have watched Instagram grow into something really quite interesting. If the right community is built around you, it can be very fulfilling and has a reach to collectors that surprised me. Unfortunately and as to be expected, itās full of...
You are sincerely welcome and I agree about the collector's aspect. I just don't like the intangibles that come with social media which is why I have avoided it so far. I think I can speak for the majority here...
and say that we are delighted that you both have chosen to join the WPS community. We all are looking forward to more posts from you both and hope you have as much fun as all of us do daily in an environment with like minded individuals of all backgrounds...
Welcome!
Like many others, I have been following your IG for some time and am glad to see you share more on this platform. I have also been a quiet lurker here for a long time but feel the need to come out of my shell once in a while
I am very familiar with you on IG
So itās nice to know Iām in familiar company. Thank you for the warm welcome. Perhaps we can both do better to stop lurking hahah
Welcome!
I am also not on Instagram, which looks to be a common theme for some of us here, so I am happy to read that you will be contributing to WPS. Your reputation precedes you and GLau's posts where most intriguing. Although not a Patek guy, I find the brand a...
Thank you for the very nice welcome!
I am so very much looking forward to all the great conversations I know will happen here!
Big welcome and what an appropriate entrance post/photo/watch!!!
Big welcome to our horological community and what an appropriate entrance post, photo and watch! That is arguably the most beautiful Patek PCC created .... love the Breguet numerals and salmon dial!
My first post had to be one of my most treasured watches.
Thank you so very much. The sandblasted hour markers and hands work extremely will against the salmon backdrop.
Appreciate your graciousness in replying to each forumer's post with a personal note! This speaks volumes.

This is what I would call an "arrivƩe en fanfare", a real plebiscite actually

What an absolutely beautiful piece and first post
I only recently came across your IG and have found myself going deep! Your collection is stunning and passion unmatched. I appreciate you and your father taking the time to share with the community at large.
Welcome to this wonderful family!
and looking forward to your awesome reviews & pics cheers
Welcome.
I loved reading your posts in Instagram as they are candid and thoughtful. Great to see you here as well.
Hello š HA ! A sincere welcome to our forum !
So our forum got two lurkers for the price of one so to speakš¤£ As you come out of the dark and into the bright side, you definitely should feel the āwarmthā of our forum. A collector duo of father and son is simply the āholy grailā of a true horological p...
I am certainly feeling the warmth here. We were on a few forums years ago but your community is unmatched!
No defined way. We spend a long time debating to reach a shared and agreed conclusion. We represent a United front. Rarely we may speak from a personal opinion that only one of us can attest to - or of course when sharing individual stories.
This is clearly the best watch forum on the internet.
The members are nice ,helpful and extremely knowledgeable. Everyone is kind and accepting of all sorts of opinions. Everyoneās opinion is valued. Welcome. CB.
I may be late to this party...
but never too late to welcome a new member to this wonderful community. It has taught me a lot about watches, and quite a bit about myself. Wish youāll have the same experience! Looking forward to learning more about you, your collection and the passion t...
