But with a theme based on the Independent Watchmaker of the World. Recently, I had been examining my small collection and realised that something was missing a timepiece from and Independent. I knew what I would have ideally loved to own, and I suspect th...  

Habring2 is so nice.... Great watch! Ken

Oh, I miss that firework..... I wish I could post something with fireworks in background..... HAGWE! Ken ...  

That I have no doubt, most members would like to see in their collection. :)

....some are mine, and some are not :-) Your Habring2 is a very lovely one, too! Ken

Cheers,dreamer

Last year the contractor given responsibility for the San Diego fireworks show had a big error, and everything went off in 15 seconds. Whoops! This year they got a second chance and gave us a show that was claimed to be one of the largest ever in North Am...

To take you up on your very kind offer. :)

Not an independent by any stretch of imagination. Happy 4th July to our American friends ! ...  

Yes, this is also the spirit! Good call. Ken

Rolex makes everything in house including smelting facilities for gold and platinum , so they are totally independent . Great shot with imagination. Cheers,dreamer

. . . Seal of Approval." Eisenhower wore a Rolex, as did Johnson, Ford, Reagan, and Clinton. What could be more American? :-) Art ...  

any of those facts. Thanks for the education! Only knew Clinton wore a Panerai from time to time. Makes me wonder about the Rolex President .... Hmmm

Glad u like it !

will fit the theme hopefully. Happy Independence day to all the American Purists and congratulations to Tony acquiring that Habring. HAQWE all Cheers,dreamer ...  

Thanks! Ken

Saw the watch at the Beijing FPJ boutique, and I really like it ! Was told its been sitting there for some time now ... waiting to be adopted. The colours and materials used is quite different from the rest of the FPJ collection, makes it a real stand out... 

Its either the dead seconds or the split chronograph for me . Enjoy your Indie. Cheers,dreamer

But the delivery time is quite long and I wanted to get something now. But it is an amazing watch. That said, I was instantly attracted to the Jumping Second and it is a nice & different complication. :)

Used to be independent but not any more....with sake@sapporo This is my only inde, lovely KV HANWE everyone ...  

Everytime I see it. In each every single dial colour. Simply superb work by Kari !

When you described your KV as your only independent, what other watch do you really need, congratulations. :)

Foolishly passed with on a couple of Harbrings soem 2 years back ... big mistake ! Congrats on your new acquisitions, Tony !

TGIF and HAGWE all!... Matt ...  

Nice pic, as always. Thanks! Ken

Nice, very nice dial. I love it !

Pointed crown, Swiss dial and ... Chocolate, marvelous Tudor Matt ;-) Best Patrice

a grail in the Tudor world! (with the 7924!) Matt

. . . chocolate treat! There's something inexplicably sexy about a perfectly aged black dial . . .

I agree with you, these so called tropical dials are special for the vintage fan! Matt

...  

Would also fit the bill over here ;)

its the better cream rather than white. Cheers,dreamer

Last year I attended a small meal and drinks after the QP show in London. There were a few of the Indy guys there and I was wearing one of my vintage watches. Everyone was chatting away when Peter Speake-Marin came in, as he walked by my table he looked d...  

Indies and vintage mix well together and you always bring some special vintage treats for us to look at :-) Cheers Andrew

Haven't seen you yet this year - you got any plans to visit us downtrodden Londoners?

The thought that PSM based one of his designs on the very watch that you were wearing. And more to the point, he has actually worked on it....
