Hello dear friend KM! As told before I feel like you that …
… at some point my entire collection will go to my son and daughter but in the meantime I have been trying to let them know how much I enjoy my passion for collecting and wearing them and helping them to discover the joy of wearing watches and to assemble their own collection of watches.
They have been helping me to catch some interesting pieces for my collection as well.
Here I show a few of the several watches I have already passed to them in the last years.
SM 300 Spectre Edition at right for my son while I kept the “regular” edition in my collection.
Also for my son went this Speedmaster FOIS:
Have a nice weekend dear KM and all friends here!!
Cheers!
Abel

The WS for the 8th of July - ‘Next Generation’ - is live
The theme for this week is Next Generation - meaning watches you would like to pass on to the next generation or in case you are not that far yet to someone else significant in your life. So in essence a Patek Philippe justification to your collection… Lo...
So starting it off…
Soon after the little ones transitioned from grabbing to talking they decided on dibs for for specific watches. The daughter, being the elder, started first. And the Chopard LUC Chrono One was her first choice. She even made sure there’s a bite mark in on...
Great opening dear friend KM! Guess your children will be delighted to receive these watches from you. I completely feel like you that at some point all the watches in my collection...

Very cool Abel!
Looking forward to seeing your entry and on both what they have already received / built up and on what your plans are 😊👍🏻
Left-Handed Dad Gets A Very Special Rolex GMT
Here's the short of it.... You don't merely own a Rolex Lefty GMT, you gift it to your dad because he's your mentor, hero, and has done so very much to help (literally) tens of thousands of people live better lives, and thus making the world a far better ...
Wow - what a story 🙌🏻
Amazing and very heart warming! Glad you could provide him with this much joy and in such a situation shots matter less than enjoying the moment 👍🏻🙌🏻
Hello Steven/ Enjoythemusic!! What a beautiful, moving post you share here!! A great gesture from you and so well deserved for your Dad. I wish he will keep enjoying this beautiful watch so much....
... and in the best of good health. Thank you so much for let us share these so happy times you have spent at the Mall with your Family!! Cheers! Abel
Certainly a Charles Frodsham is a watch to pass down!
With my teacher's calligraphy for Ming "Bright". ...
Certainly a lovely piece there!
Thinking about adopting additional watch appreciating children? 😁 Just saying 😂👍🏻👌🏻
What a charming timepiece Spangles! Even the brand script is so charming and reminder of those in very old XIX Century pocket watches.
Interesting calligraphy sample used as background. Thanks a lot for sharing! Hagwe. Abel
This isn’t a easy theme imho.
Hard to predict what they will do with my collection after i am gone . I sometimes discuss this with my loved ones but i hope most of them will find a nice new home . A few watches that are personal will stay in the family. One of them is this CvdK A watc...
Truly fantastic, both 👍🏻👏🏻
And you are right, they need to come into the hobby on their own terms 👏🏻 Very special piece you had made in her honor 👌🏻
Two fantastic timepieces you share here dear Watchonthewrist. How nice and charming detail the engraving on the rotor of your CvdK timepiece.
Keep enjoying your timepieces so much! Hagwe! Abel
Great theme again this weekend dear KMII! My daughter is only 12 years old and not yet into watches (well, she does love her iWatch!) but I do wish I could pass on to her actually all my collection…
But for now if I had a few that comes to mind that I would love her to enjoy it would have to be my VC, Lange, for the emotional connection to history and horology and yes, dare I say it my Rolexes…I suspect a few incoming in the next 24 months would make...
Simply wow 🤩
That VC - pure perfection 👍🏻👌🏻 Forgive my tired eyes, is it one or are there a WG and RG ones? The rest are super appealing, too 👏🏻
Great selection dear friend Yacomino! That VC is really a fantastic classy timepiece. I guess your daughter would be delighted to wear any of these watches you share...
... including the big case 662 with that stunning light brown dial. Hagwe! Abel

Truly fantastic pieces…
That custom green dial is a real cherry on the cake 🍒 Just out of curiosity, how’s their appreciation of horology developing?
Thank you so much dear KM! Glad you like the green dial DJ. Even if it is a custom painted dial (dial is original but not the color, which was painted by an Italian artisan I was told) I fell...
... in love with it some years ago but never gave it much wearing. Some months ago my daughter saw it in my watch box and loved the color and I didn´t doubt a second to give it to her. The watch looks much more cool and pretty on her wrist and she has bee...
Not the dinosaur aficionado…
The posters were made by Captain Scarlet, as usual and I do not know who the child is 🤷🏻♂️ Mine are still too small to fully partake but they clearly see their parents interest and maybe it will run off 🤞🏻 I am looking forward to shopping for watches wit...
Ahh! Ok! Thank you so much for your clarification!
Yes, as I said before our sport is very contagious and being exposed to parents interest on watches will open their eyes about the marvelous watch world. Keep enjoying your beautiful family and watches my friend! Cheers! Abel
Thanks for the kind words!
Will certainly do my best - holidays to start next week 😊👍🏻
Heart warming …
Hearing about your family and your watches. The green dial Rolex is a lot of fun.
A truly fantastic piece to start him on the journey with 🙌🏻👌🏻
And probably the best DB for a young gentleman 👍🏻

What a thoughtful post my dear Art!!
I was deeply moved to read my name in your list . I appreciate so much my dear friend. I wish you’ll keep enjoying your family, friends and beautiful collection so much and for many, many decades and in the best of good health! A big hug for you my dear A...
Did not plan on it being provocative 😉
And it seems you were ‘born ready’ anyhow 👍🏻 Seeing all those watches truly makes one salivate 🙌🏻👏🏻👌🏻
Decision from the heart …
Hello dear KM and friends ! I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. This is a subject that I made my decisions about some years ago. I won’t go into all the details but basically one watch will stay with my wife if she lives beyond me. The watch I had on...
Seems my topic was a bit harder than I initially intended it…
Great memento for your wife and a very noble choice for the rest 👍🏻🙏🏻
Many people…
Either don’t want to contemplate the future deeply or feel it’s very personal. Collecting is seen by many outsiders as a selfish sport. I intended to prove otherwise.
You’re being a little harsh on yourself …
We should be challenged and start thoughtful discussion on subjects others avoid or haven’t contemplated. That’s all part of our community spirit. Thank you for hosting WristScan this weekend.
