Cool. I am in and ready to take off.

My favorite place to travel and the farest away I have been is Hawaii. A also 30h journey. But worth the travel. I am mixing it with travel to Cornwall,south of France and other places.

The WS for the 8th of May - ‘Far, far away’ is live!

 
 By: KMII : May 8th, 2020-05:29
As announced, the topic for this weekend’s WS is ‘Far, far away’. So the place you’d love to travel to, when this is all over and the watch / watches you would take with. Looking forward to seeing your entries and for all of us to the opportunity to resum...  

Destination...

Villeret Best Regards Livius ...  

Superb, Livius!

 
 By: KMII : May 8th, 2020-08:22
The shots of your Minerva are the first thing I remembEr from WS many years ago 😊 Still a winner 👌🏻

One day... [nt]

 
 By: KMII : May 8th, 2020-09:27

That sounds like a fantastic idea!

 
 By: KMII : May 8th, 2020-09:33
I am definitely in

🙏🏻

 
 By: Weems@8 : May 9th, 2020-08:55
That Minerva. I think i have a grail watch. So pure, so Swiss, so everything. What is the ref? Greats, Sven.

ref no. A481-R8 [nt]

I can only wish and dream of travel now...

 
 By: NT931 : May 8th, 2020-07:23
But imagination can take me far away... The dials of these two 1964 Worldtimers conjure up locales -- Noumea, Iceland, Calcutta, the Azores -- places I can still visit in my imagination! But if there was a chance to travel, I'd bring another Seiko with me...  

This is the beauty of world timers...

 
 By: KMII : May 8th, 2020-08:33
There’s at least the promise of the far and exciting on the wrist. And I am sure the Alpinist would be a great travel companion, wherever you go 👌🏻 Fantastic shot from India - a place I am yet to visit 🤞🏻

My "Odyssey" through the world of watches will lead me

Great watch! [nt]

 
 By: Brandon Skinner : May 8th, 2020-08:26

Such a fascinating piece!

 
 By: KMII : May 8th, 2020-08:34
But I have to say I seas thinking you’d pick a different location 😉 Great choice, though 👌🏻

Excellent! [nt]

 
 By: KMII : May 8th, 2020-10:41

Wow ...

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : May 9th, 2020-04:06
That’s very cool 😎

Thank you

 
 By: brauner : May 9th, 2020-05:25
Have to wait 3 weeks. Not easy.

I know how that feels...

 
 By: KMII : May 9th, 2020-08:48
Got 5 pieces stuck where I am not 🤦🏻‍♂️

Thanks a lot [nt]

 
 By: brauner : May 9th, 2020-22:43

Let's go!

 
 By: amanico : May 8th, 2020-09:05
...  

Fantastic travel pictures, Nico!

 
 By: KMII : May 8th, 2020-09:21
As expected - you are a master of this genre. Just out of curiosity, which would be your preferred location to go to after the lock-down is over?

That's a very interesting choice :)

 
 By: KMII : May 8th, 2020-09:28
And a place I am yet to visit. Definitely looking forward to the time when I will have a chance to do so!

Great tour Sir. How we long for those

 
 By: timerider : May 8th, 2020-12:02
Days to return. Tim

Thanks, Ahoi. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : May 8th, 2020-23:06

Lots of great moments...

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : May 9th, 2020-04:22
If you had to choose just one ?

Good choice [nt]

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : May 9th, 2020-09:22

Great topic and lovely pictures of a very far off place my friend! [nt]

 
 By: nomadgiles : May 8th, 2020-09:16
For dreaming of travels there’s nothing better than a world time: And favourite watches to travel with - and as a consequence hold very fond memories- are the fume GP - here in Maroc: And Italy: Portugal: And Hungary: And then there’s the GMT that’s been ...  

Thanks a lot, Giles!

 
 By: KMII : May 8th, 2020-09:22
I am really hoping that I will manage to execute the trip. It's 13 days of hard driving, in case all goes well. And of course in case my wife allows me - it most certainly isn't a family trip

As said, early days ;)

 
 By: KMII : May 8th, 2020-10:42
But ideally I would like to do the silly thing and do it in a non-SUV There is one car I have my eye on but I do not want to jinx it yet

2CV?

 
 By: cazalea : May 9th, 2020-12:53
No doubt a 2CV is first on your wish list! 4x4 version very capable I no longer look forward to these journeys! I've been to the western edge of Russia & Finland in a 2CV, but not driving "into" Russia Sounds like a REAL adventure. Have you seen the movie...  

Not quite...

 
 By: KMII : May 9th, 2020-13:37
Even though it would be fun. If one is to make it in 13 days (10.000km), one needs to be able to make good progress. I believe that if it all works out to plan, we would use one of the few cars you’ve not driven yet 😉 As for the movie it rings a bell but ... 

Didn’t see the pictures the first time around...

 
 By: KMII : May 8th, 2020-12:40
Spectacular is all I can say! You definitely managed to inspire wanderlust 😊👌🏻 And that Goan bar...

Great shots and watches dear Giles!! I agree with you that World Timers are the most suitable watches to dream with traveling around the World. You show some beautiful places...

 
 By: Subexplorer : May 9th, 2020-07:40
... in company of your great watch collection. Hope we will be able to resume traveling soon my friend! Best wishes! Hagwe! Abel

I had been looking forward to bringing this GO on a trip to its "homeland" for the Bavarian State Opera summer festival, but...

 
 By: Modernahab : May 8th, 2020-09:23
...with the festival and the trip cancelled, setting the SS Cosmopolite to Central European Time is as close to Munich as I'm liable to get for a while. ...  

Fantastic shots...

 
 By: KMII : May 8th, 2020-09:32
And city selections

Great shot...

 
 By: KMII : May 8th, 2020-09:29
And watch! At least it allows for travelling 'virtually', which is better than nothing. Hope you will be able to do the trip next year

That's very nice...

A faraway place

 
 By: Tick Talk : May 8th, 2020-11:01
I was gutted to have a climbing expedition cancelled for this season but hope the restrictions are lifted to get back above treeline soon. The feelings of serenity and solitude are absolutely spiritual. Sometimes I even think of this inscription on a V&C ...  

Now that’s serious!

 
 By: KMII : May 8th, 2020-12:42
And you really meant significantly above the tree line! Fantastic shots, and an Overseas really being ‘Overseas’ 👌🏻👍🏻

Funny story

Great stories and hats off to your Vacherons

Since someone showed a Mühle. Very interesting one, too 👌🏻

A real beauty and water resistance to100M

Great for timing wet events like how long it takes to enjoy a few beers!!

Great dreams...

 
 By: KMII : May 9th, 2020-08:55
And I hope they all come true soon enough. And what fantastic watches 👌🏻 I think some GTGs will be in order once this is over 👍🏻
