Very cool contrast there Hans 👌🏻👍🏻
Fascinating collections …
By: Cpt Scarlet : February 13th, 2022-11:15
So many wonderful items. The vintage diving equipment has did memories for my early diving days ( not the Maiale ! ) The antique gaucho knives are superbly decorated.

…that’s definitely one advantage of watches over railroads….space! Although if you’re Rod Stewart space isn’t so much an issue. He’s a real model railroad obsessive..in a good way! 🙏 The Railmaster is definitely on my radar…and you’ve just fanned the flam...
Thanks Abel…

Hello Hans!! Thank you so much for your superb entry!!
By: Subexplorer : February 11th, 2022-16:13
How wonderful to work for Lego!! What a great combo work and passion!! I enjoyed viewing your other passions as well: pool, beautiful lamps, a fantastic car and some beautiful watches! You know how much I love your Ranchero!! Thank you so much for sharing...
Ah, another pool player . . .

I’ve spent countless hours playing backgammon and chatting over this board, my father’s, for nearly 40 years—which I always associate with the gold champagne TV dial Ω he wore for most of his life. Soon, my son will be old enough for me to pass on the tra...
Thank you very much, dear Abel. 🍻

These little personal passions are what it’s all about…. And yes on Octopussy! Have a great weekend. (Btw, as I understand it, my Japan Speedy, like your Mk 40 triple calendar, is technically not a “reduced.” The reduced is the 38mm mini Professional (3-6...

I’m so sorry to hear of your 3. As for mine, it was a loss of course, but in a way, I was relieved and grateful as well. Sometimes an object can keep you from moving on…. Take care 🍻
Thx Cpt.

There's a Bösendorfer grand in my Uncle Jake's living room . . .
By: Dr No : February 13th, 2022-04:43
. . . that he bought for Aunt Violet maybe fifty years ago. I recall him saying he needed to get authorization from someone high up at Bösendorfer because they wouldn't sell to just anyone. Apparently, Aunt Violet made the cut! 🎹
Ha!
By: Cozmopak : February 13th, 2022-04:49
This makes me feel special!
What a nice Bösendorfer!
By: MTR : February 13th, 2022-08:29
I love the sound of this piano. Today they belong to Yamaha. A major company that is very passionate about music and instruments. So I think that the future of this old Viennese tradition company is secured.
Yes, Yamaha bought them
By: Cozmopak : February 13th, 2022-16:49
Essentially to learn their secrets. Now Yamahas top end pianos employ many of the same techniques found in Bosendorfer, and when I played one of those instruments I was honestly impressed to the point that I seriously considered it. Yamaha gives Bosendorf...

The track driving is certainly a fantastic hobby I would like to take up some day, in spite of my rather absent skills behind the wheel 🙌🏻👌🏻
Great theme! I like it when it goes personal!
By: eklektik : February 11th, 2022-20:21
My humble contribution. Few passions: watches, graphic novels, flying, flying and flying. And flying 😀 Cycling too but I have no shot as watches are not so compatible with cycling. Best, E. ...
Thanks Abel!
By: eklektik : February 12th, 2022-17:18
I am fulfilling a childhood dream! Not a child anymore but the passion never went. You should give it a try, just for the experience. It is amazing how long you can stay up there without an engine. Have a great weekend too! Best, E.
Breathtaking shots!
By: MTR : February 13th, 2022-08:34
You really have a fascinating hobby! Best Thomas
A nice memento…
By: KMII : February 13th, 2022-13:25
Of my flying days - some years in the past unfortunately. Great shots 🙌🏻👌🏻👏🏻
Nothing all that exciting…
By: KMII : February 13th, 2022-13:47
And pretty much all of it from the house of Cessna (150, 152, 172, 182, Caravan). As I didn’t have a driving license when I started flying my dad had to take me and was ‘forced’ to pass one himself. Ever the entrepreneur he got himself an ASR contract, so...

These days, my main hobby . . .

My other hobby is eating good chocolate, especially dark chocolate

With your beautiful watches and excellent photos. Hope you are having a great weekend.
These shots are fantastic, HS111!
By: KMII : February 13th, 2022-13:39
And sailing a great hobby I used to do for a long time, too - sadly the last years with kids has put a stop to it (need to accelerate them learning to swim assuredly, I guess). And the 19ty hole shot is simply superb 🙌🏻👏🏻👌🏻

I suppose you could use them as a rug but they are quite thin usually, a rag on the other hand is possible depending on the design - some are just a solid colour. Thanks for posting this topic it is such a joy to see other interests and hobbies! Regards, ...

Classical Guitar
By: mhz vph : February 12th, 2022-18:33
It is by far my greatest skill. I can guarantee I will not be as good at anything else as long as I live. It also represents one of the degrees I am currently pursuing. As such I have a number of nice guitars in my possession. Videos of all of them are at...
Thanks for listening and I'm glad you enjoyed!
By: mhz vph : February 12th, 2022-19:42
It always makes me feel good to hear about others who enjoy classical guitar, or who play it themselves (professionally or not). Classical guitar is still a very small world, so the more the merrier as far as I'm concerned!
My pleasure
By: mhz vph : February 12th, 2022-21:53
Thank you for watching!
Wonderful!
By: MTR : February 13th, 2022-08:48

Thank you for the kind words :)
By: mhz vph : February 13th, 2022-16:49
It's super cool that you published a music magazine for so long. And starting at 18 no less! You also have my utmost respect. If there's a way to find an issue of your magazine I'd love to see one!
My pleasure ☺️
By: MTR : February 13th, 2022-18:38
It was called „music manual“ and published in Austria, Germany and Switzerland until 2009. So long time ago. A time full of passion. But I made my (real) money in the IT business. And still own a small record label (so as not to lose contact to the music ...
This is just too cool!
By: mhz vph : February 13th, 2022-18:48
