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 ...

I can see you already have a large number of followers and friends on this forum, so I’m sure you will quickly feel at home!😄 Hope you’ll be able to become regular contributors, with your outstanding knowledge of the subject, your opinions, and of course.... 

I am very familiar with yours posts and must say we share a burning passion for enamel.

Selfishly I’m 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 it’s much harder to understand where peo... 

Instagram will never be as focused as WPS. Your remarks on giving better context to comments is one of the strengths of this forum. I’m sure the dialogue that will be held (as ever) will be extremely insightful. As for the yachtmaster haha, the watch that... 

A warm welcome... can't wait for IG quality posts here on WPS...

Close to speechless. Thank you

I look forward to seeing more of your collection and reading your thoughtful comments.

It was only right that my first post on here should be one of my favourite watches! Cheers for the warm welcome

I look forward to sharing our experiences in the world of watches. All the best, Tim

Welcome, I have been enjoying your collection on IG and learning a lot from you! Best regards

Thank you so much for joining our great community and I hope to see both of you posting frequently 👍😜😉. One last thing, that 5970 is breathtakingly gorgeous 😍 🔥

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, it’s full of... 

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... 

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

So it’s nice to know I’m in familiar company. Thank you for the warm welcome. Perhaps we can both do better to stop lurking hahah

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... 

I am so very much looking forward to all the great conversations I know will happen here!

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!

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.

Looking forward to your double passion, double knowledge , double collection, double joke, double dynamics, double everything.😁🥂🥂

Thank you for your posts on IG and finally can follow you here as well!! Definitely been an eye opener seeing the rare and unique pieces... looking forward to more!! Love the educational composition of your posts on all things Patek...welcome!!

Your kind words are deeply appreciated!

Welcome to the Purist family, I hope you will enjoy being here as much as we do. What an entry with this first post! 5970 is a grail in any iteration but with salmon dial even more and with these Breguet numerals I am speechless 😶, just fantastic ! Enjoy ... 

Looking forward to your next posts, you will enjoy the kind and friendly atmosphere here. We are all so glad you've decided to join the family Have a great day, Mike

Can’t wait for the encore!

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.

and looking forward to your awesome reviews & pics cheers

I loved reading your posts in Instagram as they are candid and thoughtful. Great to see you here as well.

Look forward to your many upcoming posts

Best Chris

Welcome!!

Looking forward to your contributions.

So our forum got two lurkers for the price of one so to speak🤣 As you come out of the dark and into the bright side, you definitely should feel the “warmth” of our forum. A collector duo of father and son is simply the “holy grail” of a true horological p... 

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.

The members are nice ,helpful and extremely knowledgeable. Everyone is kind and accepting of all sorts of opinions. Everyone’s opinion is valued. Welcome. CB.

And I do admire the clarity of your writing. Thank you for posting. Chk

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 you‘ll have the same experience! Looking forward to learning more about you, your collection and the passion t...
