My "trademark" watch. The Jaquet Droz Equation of Time. For many reasons, this is a very special watch. It was my first major purchase to celebrate the news that I was going to be a new dad. Also the gentleman from whom I purchased the EOT, introduced me ...
The Paillonnee I purchased right before his birth...but the EOT started it all. Then when I had mad daughter, I reserved the Paillonnee for her. But then circumstances changed, I had to sell the Paillonnee :-( Thank you...especially for your postings whil...
In my case I had to pay for medical bills...not for one but two (my "surprise" twins) Well worth the trade imho. As for J*D, I wish the best for the brand. Still very interesting stuff, but not the way I wished they would have gone. Best, Mike ...
of a kid is worth more than any timepiece ever out there Yes J*D lost some of flavor unfortunately and I think regarding departure of Mr. Emch anyhow you have great kids and they bring happiness / joy no timepiece can Yours D
He had an artist's drive and focus. A lot of it was lost after he departed. I have no doubt that he was tired and mentally drained after running the brand. Glad to see him at the helm of RJ, where he has brought new life...to the point where now the desig...
I was cleaning out the attic and found photos of myself in College... In hindsight I cannot believe that was 25 years ago. If only some of our watches could talk...I bet they would tell some interesting stories. Best, Mike
Either 65.... Or 68 (67 ;))... But maybe I would prefer to to be known by one of these.... :) What do you think would be the best fit for me...? HAGWE Blomman ...
BlomoVlad?;) The Geophysic in white metal is better, the minutes hand on the yellow gold looks strange... on the picture! The Polaris 65 is gorgeous too. Perhaps in the future you be known for your GPs;) Cheers Francois from Down Under
On the RG has been replaced. Need to find a good one. Thank you, my friend! Yes, who knows a couple of years from now people may know me by by some GP's...! ;) Best BlomoVlad
... beautiful timepieces dear Blomman. Though if I would be able to chose a favorite, that steel Geophisics would be my choice! Have a great week end my friend! Very cordially, Abel.
It definitely must be a Memovox, and I think the pair of Polaris, 65 and 67. are the ones that I first associate with you. You know yourself well. ;-) Best, respo
.. How much better can it get ? - I tend to think, this is it, pretty much so ! The summit of the Divers/ Memovoxes on one hand & - Geophysic, the magic, the elusive - in two variants, on the other : SS & YG - In tiny, little envy, but veeery happy for yo...
Thank you, dear HS! :) Last year I was lucky to Geophysic pair! I don't know if you have noticed, but some of JLC's watches from end 50's are not that "rose" inn the colour. But if you look at this photo, compare the index on the YG dial in the middle whi...
.. I guess, the RG version is more desirable, anyway !.. - To double up the Geophysic - WoW !! .. That's perfect ! Therefore, even more sincere Congratulations - What a pair !! Again, my Best for this WE !! :) :) hs
As if I would even ask ;) No it was a limited number of pieces of 6 or 8 I think... Will try and find the picture I took and put it on the forum. Cheers Andrew
Nico, This is the first of your pieces I remember from way back, that screamed Amanico... I can well imagine this to be a tough choice for you! Superb piece my friend. Cheers, Tim
since this question is liking asking you to choose which one of children do you like best :-) But I think that JLC minute repeater was on my short list of what I thought you would pick...or the Freak :-) Thanks for participating even though it was tough, ...
... I was expecting to view some pretty GMT among your choices!! Lol! Well... no matter which brand or model of watch you chose, I am very sure you´ll always will be very nicely remembered by your family and friends! Have a great week end my dear friend! ...
There are several JLC, UNs (Freak or Sonata) that I associate so strongly with you, Vlad, but I think you picked THE ONE. The MMR is so Vlad ever since the Lord of the Rings photo. Great choice for this topic and for your wrist today. Best always, respo
.. MMR -Ti , Many unique aspects for me, also a concept piece, which makes you think makes you reflect, I trust ; One of those, I pls love to see again, touch again, when we meet next time.. )Thus, pls amend the "For hs to see" - List ) Thank you for this...
First the VC The complication, the colors, the elegance, the dial, the unique case The second for the romance and the German engineering, since I am an engineer and a romantic at heart Great theme Best, Joe ...
But, given all of our long conversations and the many times I have seen you and what is most often on your wrist when I do, the EP Malte Perpetual Chrono is the "Joe" watch for sure. But I also know how that Lange resonates with your personality and passi...
Thank you Damjan for your positive comments! Just trying my hardest :) The first one is with grips from my golf clubs... yes you guessed it they are orange too... Cheers! Andrew
Nice topic, Mike! I bought myself a watch when I learned my first child would be born, too! :-) But I am not certain there's a watch I want to be known by. How about this: I would want to be known by the community of which I am a part! In that spirit, may...
Of all the watches created in recent memory as reissues or re-imaginings of their original pieces, the Legend Diver is my favorite. A great, modern take on the original vintage -- reliable and affordable! It's a fantastic watch! Hope you are well! Daos
Great to meet you here. Yeah, I got on the verge of pressing "enter" more than a few times about this re-issue - you know what I mean..... It looks that good - again, timeless design and great functionality.... So nice to talk to you, my friend! Ken
...since the original divers upon which the watch is modeled. I think the golden years of Longines, as far as my tastes run, were mid-'40s through the '60s. Cheers, Daos
i fully agree with you Daos. although i dont own and have no need for the LLD. the non date model is a superb re edition. as you saw i posted a couple of re editions, both of which i really like...except for the dates. i think the 24 hour works best as th...
