18th birthday.

 
 By: amanico : June 1st, 2023-09:00
I just told her to never forget the child in her... Time flies... Best, Nicolas ...  

My warmest congratulations :-) Those eyes will melt a lot of hearts, me thinks....

What a stunning young lady she has become. Did you get her the Tudor? Ive been thinking of buying a set for my two boys for when they are older - with love from their daddy.

Thats the perfect gift then. And it suits her so well!

 
 By: ChristianDK : June 1st, 2023-09:12
There is something very honest and unpretentious about Tudor in recent years. To me, very appealing especially after they have slimmed the cases. The perfect watch for a young person and for a watch for life. Very well chosen.

First of all: congratulations to her, but also to you mon ami

You must feel very very proud. Thanks for sharing with us, your horological family, her 18th anniversary. I'm a biologist myself, not a marine one, but a conservation biologist, but also love the sea and all the beauty within. There's a lot still to be le... 

Amazing.

What a lady. How time flies.

And more recently in Paris!

 
 By: patrick_y : June 1st, 2023-14:54
It's amazing how quickly she has grown! Time does fly!

Yep! At my HQ. :)))

C'est ça! ;)

Congratulations!

 
 By: dedestexhes : June 1st, 2023-09:38
And what a nice watch she got. But you understand that as marine biologist she will need to get your Blancpain collection asap 😀 Dirk

congratulations to her and you for having such a lovely daughter. i wish her only the best of luck and this watch will definitely always crack a smile to her, when youre not around. A great gift!

having become a father this year, these are the moments i really look forward, as everything is BEILAGE (as we say in german, a side dish, meaning irrelevant) !

Bel Age? :)))

here is the longest german word for both of you:

*Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz " (acc to google: Beef Labeling Supervision Duties Transfer Act) A relict from the mad cow disease

makes perfect sense though

Auguri from a Marine Biologist!

 
 By: Mary Anny : June 1st, 2023-09:46
I wish her the best in her future life as a marine biologist. And congratulations for the Black Bay... Simone

Having an espresso to start the day and this post warms my heart.

 
 By: orahu : June 1st, 2023-09:48
Yes, time flies and look at what loving nurture and care has produced. You have much to be be proud of Nicolas; thanks for sharing an intimate moment. It seems like every young person in the USA wants to be a marine biologist! I wish her well in what I as... 

OMG 😱 18 years old already ! I can hardly believe it ! 😳

 
 By: Mike H : June 1st, 2023-10:36
Are you sure? 😂😂 I remember just « a short while ago » she was still your little princess and she has now become a young lady… You can be so proud mon ami! Happy 18th Birthday to her! And kindest regards to her from Mike! 5 years ago already… do you remem... 

That is a very nice and touchy story. Love the expression of the little daughter, now become a young lady.

 
 By: hoseachandra : June 1st, 2023-11:03
Congratulations for Nico. Just my opinion that the new Black bay 54 is better suited for her.

What a wonderful gift, my friend!

 
 By: gregcarraram3 : June 1st, 2023-11:11
As a father of 3 daughters, they are in their 20s now, you just have that special bond...mine each have a beautiful Seiko 6139 that I picked out for them, to remind them of me and to hopefully carry on the spirit of watch collecting...one even has a boyfr...

Congrats Nico and all the best to your daughter!

 
 By: RayStantzPhD : June 1st, 2023-11:31
Great choice on your present for her! Looking great and I am sure she will enjoy it more and more with every year that she spends with it. I got my first mechanical watch from my father when I was 17, because in Germany at 18 we are a bit more car-oriente... 

Happy Birthday A.🍹🎂

 
 By: brauner : June 1st, 2023-11:40
18 years=free but far from independent. Look forward to the time that is coming.

Pleasure

Not that beauty is the only arbiter to value people…

 
 By: myles721 : June 1st, 2023-12:19
She’s on her way to being a stunner (I know I was a fashion photographer)…watch out!🤩

These are wonderful times my friend, they grow up quickly. You have a beautiful daughter and I’m sure she loves her dad.

 
 By: aperna : June 1st, 2023-12:35
There’s an old, saying, “little children step on your toes, older children step on your heart“ Wishing her the very best birthday, all the best, my dear friend you are truly blessed, Tony

Happy Birthday to her!

Time does fly so enjoy every moment with your dear daughter.

Happy birthday to your daughter...

 
 By: GWIS : June 1st, 2023-12:56
...and nice watch! All the best, Jon

Great photos, mon ami. Each milestone reminds us of what’s truly important.

 
 By: BigAppleBill : June 1st, 2023-13:25
An intelligent young lady with high aspirations - you have much to be proud of.

A most persuasive wrist model

 
 By: cazalea : June 1st, 2023-14:05
How can that many years have passed already!? And how can she be a marine biologist when she will be modeling the new collections of Swiss watch companies? (Maybe both at the same time?) Congratulations, Cazalea

Mega!

 
 By: InHavenPro : June 1st, 2023-14:22
What an occasion, my heartfelt wishes for the most joyous entry into adulthood possible. And yes, under no circumstances allow for your inner child to ever be subdued . Sending all my love, cheers, Filip

Merci, Filip!

How do we slow them down my friend?

This reminds me of some pictures from years ago...

I found so touching I saved them ...  

How cute!!!

Lovely daughter!

 
 By: penfriend : June 1st, 2023-17:01
and on her 20th she will finally get what she longed for all the time: a pair of cow shoes ;-) I wish you lots of great moments with her still to come, my friend

I just noticed she inherited your lefty genes too?

 
 By: Clueless_Collector : June 1st, 2023-17:20
Congratulations to her and her proud daddy.

Something more practical, a car

 
 By: vitalsigns : June 1st, 2023-18:42
She's not really into watches but has confessed to eyeing my wife's collection, but prefers colored gold My wife has only white metals now. So now my wife wants to start acquiring colored gold pieces to pass down to the next generation. I'm not sure my ow... 

Quite possible! :)

 
 By: vitalsigns : June 1st, 2023-21:49

Most probably! :))))

 
 By: amanico : June 1st, 2023-21:55

Wow dear Nicolas! Big congrats and Happy 18th Birthday to your lovely daughter. Time flies indeed my friend. I know well seeing my children and grandchildren growing too. This picture of her...

 
 By: Subexplorer : June 1st, 2023-18:04
... shows she is always beautiful but so far to the little charming girl I met in our first meeting in Paris around 2011. Yes, definitively time flies! Great to know she loves the sea and that she proudly wears that Blue Tudor. Beyond being a great watch ... 

Congrats to Ava ❤️

 
 By: bimbeano : June 1st, 2023-20:20
I am amazed by her looks, i think i haven’t seen her since she was 13 or so. I really hope to meet her soon and experience a little grown up Vlad 😂. Give her many kisses ! Bim @ MP

Best wishes to your daughter and you.

 
 By: RabidManatee : June 1st, 2023-21:07
She wears the Tudor well. Nicely chosen.

Best wishes to your daughter on her 18th birthday

 
 By: neville : June 1st, 2023-22:18
time passes too quickly as I know from my own sons, I hope you all enjoyed the occasion. I love the connection between the Tudor and the marine biology that your daughter wants to follow.. Best wishes.

she's now 18

 
 By: sschew : June 1st, 2023-23:16
which means your watches are now gone.

but as your sweet daughter

 
 By: sschew : June 2nd, 2023-09:29
she is worth it

Clearly!

 
 By: amanico : June 2nd, 2023-09:33

Wise words Nicolas, that is one very valuable thought to hold for life.

 
 By: Jay (Eire) : June 2nd, 2023-01:27
Congratulations to your daughter, whom we’ve all seen various glimpses of over the years. And best of luck to her with her continued studies.

Congrats to your daughter on her 18Th!

She has your eyes. Congratulations!

 
 By: gup502 : June 5th, 2023-11:17
Tudor looks very nice on her. Maybe the Air King is for another occasion?

How could she possibly forget her inner child, Nicolas, when . . .

 
 By: Dr No : June 12th, 2023-20:25
. . . her Dad is famed for living his dreams to the fullest? 👨‍👧
