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...

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...
Thanks Blomman,

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
Hi, Ken!

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
Hey, too!

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
i fully agree with you...
By: G99 : March 14th, 2014-14:50
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...
We are very lucky!

I don't think many other members (none that I can think of, at least), work in the same office with a fellow Purist. We can talk watches, and swap timepieces to check out the other's watch on-the-wrist, etc. It's nice to work alongside a kindred spirit! :...
This watch started it all
By: Iceman : March 13th, 2014-18:00
My 1st VINTAGE, 1st ROLEX and 1st AUCTION. This watch introduced me to the world of eternal horological beauty that is VINTAGE. The PADELLONE totally transformed my collection. Which leads to my latest and most SEXIEST addition..............my NEW MISTRES...
very nice!

I think the most obvious for me could be a vintage diver: Eberhard Scafograf 200, 1961 But my latest arrival could fit the bill as well in the future: Eberhard Contodat, first chronograph ever with a date 1957, with just a touch of red! Look at these long...
Tricky question Mike!...
By: pplater : March 14th, 2014-02:00
You have asked us to say "what watch you want to be known by". Well, it would be great to be known as the guy who finally managed to get his hands on one of these: (Dufour GS photos by Chronomania) Not much chance of that happening though! So, if you we...
Trademark watch
By: Spellbound : March 14th, 2014-02:30
Mike I must say it is good to see Jaquet Droz represented here, and as your "Trademark" watch also lends further credibility. For me, it is plainly obvious. The watches bought to celebrate losing a boardroom battle in which I also lost my job. For your gu...
Hear hear !

I hear you Francois from DU. Unfortunately very often large Global firms are blinded by the sheer numbers in China, so many are willing to do what it takes to get a foothold even if this compromises integrity. But as one of my mentors used to say, reputat...
The detail
By: Noodia : March 14th, 2014-03:01
There are many 50s gold chronographs, many of them are not so appealing the bezel of this pink gold late 50s UG was The detail to my eyes I could not avoid to nickname it my "UG Thunderbird" best, Laurent ...
Not more, not less ...

The UN Planetarium is the watch that for me pushed open the doors to a totally new cosmos of thought, technical genius and history. It combines what I think about our place in the world, and the panta rhei, the ever-changing stream of times. If I were for...
This is a great theme
By: respo : March 14th, 2014-06:51
I am having all kinds of fun reviewing everyone's selections. The watch I want to be know by is the Vacheron Constantin American 1921: There are so many reasons I feel particularly connected to this watch. It makes me feel like this: A couple of years ago...
Bron-yr-aur . . .
By: Dr No : March 14th, 2014-09:49
. . . as explained by Robert Plant: "This is a thing called 'Bron-Yr-Aur'. This is a name of the little cottage in the mountains of Snowdonia in Wales, and 'Bron-Yr-Aur' is the Welsh equivalent of the phrase 'Golden Breast'. This is so because of its posi...
Hmmm, yes; maybe; no!...
By: pplater : March 14th, 2014-19:25
Vintage? Tick. Rolex? Tick. Rectangular? Tick. Even so; whenever the tag 'watch-guy' appears, the watch which instantly comes to mind is this one, sorry: What a thing of beauty - the whole box and dice! Cheers, pplater. (photo credit - some Melbournian h...
It may sound
By: Ares501 - Mr Green : March 15th, 2014-05:18
strange, stupid and even pretentious bu this is the one PPro changed my life for better of course. Once I'll be long gone I hope that this watch will be my golden ticket to "Willy Wonka chocolate factory" something that will intrigue my descendants to sta...
