Not a new watch anymore but what a blast when it came out! A new movement with a completely different architecture to what one was used to from GS, a new case design language and of course - possibly most memorably - the white birch dial. While the dial t...  

The only downside seems to be that the new movements are harder to regulate quite as precisely as the older ones 🤷🏻‍♂️ Mine is still keeping excellent time, though 😊

Glad you like it. My GSs never love on bracelets 😉🤷🏻‍♂️

A memorable piece. Best, Emmanuel

When I joined the GS9 club to get the Matsumoto Castle I chose a Green Birch. You had to buy a second watch to get one. I was drawn to the beauty of the movement. When I first saw these hands on a Lake Suwa. I was a little taken aback, but then came to re...

And congratulations on that momentous moment 🎉🎊🎈

The days are long but the years are short. How true. I remember when my son was about six months old a fellow was walking down the block with his 5 year old son on his shoulders. He saw the look in my eyes and without missing a beat said. You'll be there.... 

by Thierry Stern. Retailers were making customers buy either jewelry or another watch to get a Patek that they wanted. He made it clear in no uncertain terms that there would be severe repercussions if any AD continued to do this.

Don’t fully trust the brands’ honesty in such cases 😉 Maybe I am just jaded 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

Even if the prices have risen quite a bit over the past 10 years 😊
