Extreme window shopping.
Out for a leisurely lunch today in Hong Kong watch "window shopping".... Oh my, a couple rare beasts in the front AD window...bounded left and right by platinum and rose gold Moonstruck pieces. The UN Erotic Hourstriker on top is quite the sight; but the ...
Jungle, Erotic, Moonstruck, each of them is a dream for every U.N Fan.
You can add the Freak Diavolo, the Tellurium, the Royal Blue tourbillon and I think that our bases are pretty well covered. ;) Tellurium or Moonstruck? I am not sure which one I would pick. Maybe the Tellurium for tis slimmer and smaller case? But the Moo...
Yes,
The Tellurium in Platinum for me, or better yet the full trilogy set in Pt. Antiquorum just sold a set in June, and I went to the preview in HK (NYC auction was a week later). In the flesh in platinum the three pieces are spectacular. My first time seeing...
The rarest I don't know. I remember having seen a Genghis Khan in Sicily, 7 years ago.
But I never saw a Jungle, truly... I never saw a Royal Blue Tourbillon non jewelled, either. Nor an Erotic. Here we are speaking of the Creme De La Creme... Best Nicolas
The ivy league of haute horologie ....
the Production numbers already are low, very low. Very often, the pieces are not even sold to the dealer, but sent there after an end customer ordered them. i can understand that, after I learend how delicate the mechanism of a minute repeater is. Regards...
I still have a nightmare when I remember how the Genghis Khan was treated by its
Final customer. I will keep the nationality of this " gentleman ", by charity. But I was shocked, and the seller too. Best, Nicolas
And the guy certainly doesn't care.
The transaction lasted... less than 5 minutes between the go in and the go out of the shop. Like if he bought his daily bread. Best, Nicolas
If we were so wealthy, dear Nicolas ...
... then maybe we would also be so lethargic when shelling out the money for a big S-class Mercedes for a watch. In fact, let's be glad that this is not the case and we are still able to really enjoy what we afford ... Regards, Marcus
Quite a grouping there.
I am glad you got to take a closer look. The Jungle Repeater looks amazing in the print photos I have seen.
A rare view! ...
... having a dealer showing these highlights in the shop window is indeed a rarity. You were lucky to see them! Yes, the Jungle repeater is a marvel in itself. Regards, Marcus
