Hello dear friends! I will have the pleasure of hosting next week end WS edition and I felt it would be interesting to learn what a "Grail Watch" means for each of us... and ... if you already own your Grail Watch. Additionally I thought it would be very ...  

This 5110G is really killing me.

That´s one of my points my dear Nicolas: when we read "Grail Watch" we usually associate with hig end watches and complications but I personally feel that a Grail ...

 
 By: Subexplorer : March 5th, 2020-05:18
... can be any watch regardless price or complications. It´s much more than that. It is very deep in the feelings and desires of a watch lover. Let´s see what our community members think! Best! Abel

Nice 5110G! Hmm.. Grails...

 
 By: patrick_y : March 4th, 2020-08:18
My grails in life are more about personal development right now. Sure, I'd love to get that super complex minute repeater, perpetual calendar, grand sonnerie, Dufour Complexity model; it's just about finding one, convincing the owner to sell, and writing ... 

Hello Patrick! I well understand your point so well. There are more important Grails in life of course. As a matter of fact I took watch collecting just a few years ago when I felt...

 
 By: Subexplorer : March 4th, 2020-11:40
... that at my age I had reached the goals in life I could and it was time to alow myself some indulgements. This is a place to talk watches and I thought about Watch Grails not only thinking in those pieces you mention that we all watch lover dream with,... 

After a few more thoughts...

 
 By: patrick_y : March 4th, 2020-12:37
I'm just more focused on other aspects of my life rather than acquiring more watches. Have too many, more than what I can use. And some of them have become so recognizable that they're no longer low-key. But other things, such as family, health, personal ... 

I perfectly understand you Patrick. Believe me. This is just a passtime, and you know WS is a weekly classic in our community intended to have a good time to those who want to participate.

Hosts should think about a challenge each week as a Theme trying their best to make it interesting and more enjoyable and to attract more members to interact. We feel that if a person is posting here, he loves watches. But I guess all of us know these are... 

Ha ha ha! No problem dear Patrick! Everything is ok. Let’s enjoy...

 
 By: Subexplorer : March 5th, 2020-08:38
... another wonderful WS session next week end!! Have a great weekend my friend! Cheers! Abel

I don't know if this counts it as a grail but...

the 5110G is the only watch I own, and the only watch I feel I need to own, from what I regard as clearly the greatest maison in the watchmaking world. ...  

Hello Blau!! Of course it counts as a Grail!! And what a sublime Grail it is as to make you feel you don´t need another timepiece in your life! World Time is an iconic complication for Patek...

Thank you so much dear Tony! I feel this is a magical watch which invites me to daydream with travels, visiting far and exotic places and discovering new friends or meeting old ones...

... around the World. I love the WT complication in watches and several brands offer superb timepieces with this feature and I feel Patek makes specially outstanding examples of this kind of watches. Glad to know you like it and appreciate your kind compl... 

Great opening theme post from you dear Abel...

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : March 5th, 2020-06:46
It’s certainly given me much food for thought. Your Patek Philippe World Timer is a beautiful watch.

Thank you so much my dear Captain for your kind...

and my grail watch would be 5110P

Thank you so much Watcholic for your kind comments!

 
 By: Subexplorer : March 5th, 2020-08:46
I have seen Nicola’s 5110p in the metal and its blue dial is really awesome. It adds to the charm of the 5110 design as well as the heavier platinum case impress so much. Look forward to your participation next weekend!! Cheers! Abel

A long hunt for this grail.
